1. will there be a new ruleset for the servers?
As of now there are no plans to change the current ruleset. Should it happen we will certainly let the public know.
1.2 if yes, will it be a mix of NA and EU?
As of this moment they should be the same exact rule set, there should not have been differences as far as I can tell.
2. any plans for admin application process?
I plan on changing the EU process to the NA process once the time comes. If you are not familiar with this process, I can briefly explain it.
It occurs in rounds. How often these rounds occur depends on the feedback I receive from both admins and players concerning admin coverage of the server. Once it is determined that we need more admins for a particular server, I go into action.
I round up every applicant from the application page and PM them to make sure their info is up to date. I also ask them some simple questions concerning how often they could admin for a week, when they can admin, and if they see any reasons that they may need to quit in the near future.
Once I have that information, I then create a list of everyone who managed to respond, and send it to the current admins. I ask the admins to give their opinion about each applicant. Questions typically involve if they knew them, if they think they would be good admins, and if they don't think so then why not.
Once I receive all of the feedback I then collate the data into a table, with the more in depth responses given priority over the bland responses. I then bring the collated info to my senior administrators, and we start removing the unknown applicants and those who received large amounts of negative feedback. We take those with large amounts of positive feedback and place them on top, and then the more in depth work begins on the controversial or lesser known applicants. I typically have put a hard cap of 10 new admins per rotation, and so we tend to spend a bit more time at the end of the list than we do the beginning.
Once the senior admins and I have prepared a list, Refleax and I give it a once over to make sure all appears well, and then the newly made admins are notified. There is a bit of a trial period where I tend to watch the new admins activities on the server and through the logs, and after a couple weeks I let them loose.
3. will all the map bugs fixed, like the rocks?
I think Rejenorst answered that pretty well.
This isn't a grievance, and quite possibly is something that you may not have the first clue about, but I was wondering what is happening with the current Admin applications. I assume that there is some tidying up of the process currently going on or something similar, but nevertheless I thought I may as well inquire.
Thanks, and good luck all,
Tiki
With the EU resignations I believe the time for looking for new EU admins will be arriving shortly. I will talk to the EU admins and see what they think about current events on the EU server.
