One of my stated goals for the OW Community Platform has been to try to help new members to Ongoing Worlds find their footing and find/create a game that will blossom and that they will really enjoy. The Community Platform has done some things really well, but in this particular objective, it seems to have failed, because no new players have joined it (with Ryan being kind of the exception. Your the best Ryan!)
Anyway, instead of just hoping things change, I have been considering dropping the plea for new members to look at OW Community Platform, and instead make a new game titled "Ongoing Worlds New Member Launchpad" designed specifically to help new members join their first game, create their first character, design their first game, etc. I'm hoping that new players will feel more comfortable joining a game that is geared entirely toward them than they seem to be to this game, which mostly appears to appeal to veteran RPers and people that like me.
Anyway, what do you guys think? Yay or nay? Any comments, concerns, or suggestions?
