    Having completed our pilot program for the UOR Counselor system we are now taking applications for players who wish to donate their time to assist our players.

    [​IMG]

    Base Requirements
    • You must be willing to donate some of your time each week to answering pages, and assisting new players with acclimating to UOR.
      Note: Applying for the program, then spending minimal time assisting new players will result in suspension from the program.
    • Your playstyle must align with assisting new players.
      Note: This means that we are not looking for players who primary play style is griefing, stealing, player killing or other aggressive activities. Having a thief, having a red character, or occasionally getting into a dispute ingame is acceptable. Recruiting players to assist a new player, only to rob them blind or kill them 20 minutes later, is obviously counter productive to a new player assistance program.
    • You must be fairly knowledgeable about the base UO Renaissance mechanics, in order to help new players get started.
      Note: Spending 2-3 months playing on UOR is a loose requirement for joining the program.
    • You must be able to represent yourself in a professional manner.

    The Job Description
    • Monitor a special system designed to notify you of new player logins, and greet new players.
      Note: This needs to be done every 30-60 minutes while you are logged into your counselor account.
    • Monitor any incoming pages and assist players when possible. Escalating any pages to game masters when neccessary.
    • Spend time with new player explaining how to adapt to our server by educating them on the differences between this server and their UO experience.
    • Assist the administrators with testing patches on the test server.
    • Assist the administrators with doing research on various issues

    How to Apply
    • Simply post your qualifications here and I will contact you directly via pm or irc. You may also pm me if you wish to remain private.
    • Please make sure to include your experience, your hours of availability, and a rough summary of why you would be a good counselor.

    Final Note: This program is not about teleporting around the world, using staff commands or having a power trip. The Counselor program was designed for one purpose. Helping new players. Every command unrelated to this has been removed. You can not teleport, you can not use the go menu, you cannot wander the world invisible.

    I reccomend Blaise. Saw him sit in a deathrobe and explain the server to a new player once for no other reason than being cordial.

    Re: Renaissance Counselor Program - Now Accepting Applicatio

    I'd like to apply. I played OSI Pacific for a couple of years in the late 90's. After a long break, I played Voldeshard for about 2 1/2 years before I came here for beta. I am not the most knowledgeable player on the shard but I know how to find the answers to most questions and I like helping people. The best times for me are early afternoon PST. I can also do late mornings on occasion. :mrgreen:

    Re: Renaissance Counselor Program - Now Accepting Applicatio

    While I would be far more interested in assisting with programming duties, I would also be willing to help out with this program. I've been playing on this server for a few months now, and I also have experiencing playing UO:R on OSI way back in the day. As a member of C^V, Pirul would be kicking my butt if I was griefing people :lol:

    The only downside to me is that my availability can shift from time to time based on work but mostly I'm available evenings during the week, and weekends CST.

    Re: Renaissance Counselor Program - Now Accepting Applicatio

    I would like to volunteer for this.

    I am an expert at any non-combat related ingame mechanics, been on the server for a few months now and have written a few guides as well as added information to a few guides.

    Best part is - I am usually available during CET daytime when (CET 8:00am - 6:00pm) and could help the occasional asian/european/african newbie :)

    Re: Renaissance Counselor Program - Now Accepting Applicatio

    I have played UO off and on since mid 1997, and have played on UOR for a year. I enjoy helping people get the answers they need and allowing for more questions and answering in a non degrading way. I have a broad enough understanding of most everything, combat and crafting, to be able to assist new players and current players with their questions regarding these items. I usually play quite late at night from 20:00 - 07:00 Mountain as my job keeps me on night shift, but can occasionally work during the day. I'd be willing to be available to answer questions for a few hours on the nights I am off of work.

    Re: Renaissance Counselor Program - Now Accepting Applicatio

    I volunteer as tribute!

    Played on Pacific in the 90's, UOGamers, DFI, and a few other servers I cant remember for the life of me. I understand this server... fairly well considering all the heated debates that go on IRC, I think I know what goes on here. My hours fluctuate through out the day and when I am playing I am usually attempting to coerce players in to my roleplaying efforts. (latest example trying to get them to sell some fish to me for an over inflated price... dont understand why no one wants easy gold). Creator of the Post Office, fish market, and future casino.

    With the population steadily growing we are still recruiting Counsellors to to donate some of their time each week to answering pages, and assisting new players with acclimating to UOR. Please check out the quote below for full details

    Ahhh, the life of a counselor is a good one.

    I hope some good people put their hands up, especially to welcome new players and assist people in any way possible.

    I used to staff on uogamers servers along time ago, rebirth, divinity, hybrid etc

    I dont miss it one bit, it takes up alot of time.

    So to those who do put their hands up, be prepared to put a fair bit of time into your role.

    I would like to apply to be a counselor on UOR in order to run the automated CTFs and 1v1 tournaments. I believe I' am the best player for this job because I' am one of the most active as well as very knowledgable about the game itself. Personality and reputation aside I think it would be a great pairing and we could give the people what they want and I get what iv always wanted more action and more player engagement.
