A way to improve the activity?

This place could be more active, everyone knows that. It's not that we don't get new members since we get lots of them every week.

But it's about making those signed up stay here. Rarely we see those New Members on servers. I have a feeling that most of the ones who sign up just check the server, see no one there and think this place is dead.

So... would it be good idea to find a way to inform every new member about the nature of this place, and that the servers arent active all the time?

Just an idea. But the fact that those New Members keep coming but are not to be seen kind of bugs me :/

If you want activity, follow the current trends of JKA. Base players, 7 times out of 10, will pug more than anything else on JKA. Although I know the Aurochs pug a lot, there can be an effort made to get more of the academy into the activity.

If you want somebody to be active you have to give them a reason. Some people stay here for the community, some stay hoping to get "1337" through provided classes, some stay wanting to one day become a JAK and others have nothing better to do. (note: I'm not making remarks to anybody in particular)

The majority of active JKA players want something more than that and following current trends in the game might entice more people to stay.

Yes of course it's their decision, but is the decision good if they get the wrong picture of this place? They'll never know what they'll miss :(

(Wow people want to get rid of me :D)

BAN ZANTUS!

seriously though, the things you said were said by some other students some time ago.

with our... condition.. there isnt much we can do tbh.
new to TJA will write application, get accepted, check for classes, enroll to some and then MAYBE, if he really like JKA he will come back. since internet is such unserious place - there is 50% that this new student will check again/go to the classes he signed for/etc.
ok so 10 ppl signs up. 5 of them will not come back. those other 5 who come back will try to connect and half of them will realise that 'oh snap im using downloaded version'.
1/3 of those who realised will find out how to connect anyway.
so there we have 3 students left.
it is possible that some of those 3 will go into one of those classes that arent really active. when he sees that he will either go to forums and ask or leave TJA for good.
so in the end out of those 10 ppl we only have like... ONE student who might become a constant visitor of our forums and servers. even then... you cant be guaranteed that he wont leave any time soon.
the reasons i used could be a little different, but lets face it - outcome is pretty much the same. if it were different - threads like this wouldnt be created.

all in all:

Go and chat to them via MSN, Forum, IRC... and make them warmly welcomed...

I have always done so and I continue to do so, whenever I have just time!


Same. We can only do so much, it's the members decision whether to join a server or not. Although a tip would definately be the check out the chat room / IRC Channel. Some one is always about to help new members. :)
