Helpers are a very important part of the server. They provide players with answers and assistance with anything they need, and at the same time punish rule breakers. In a way it is like an introductory rank for staff. If you feel like you have benefited the server in the past, or just want to help keep it awesome, why don't you apply?
Requirements:
• Have a total playtime of at least 3 and a half days of online time (/ar check)
• Must have never been banned for griefing
• Must be able to name times when you have helped staff somehow
To apply, create a new thread under the "Apply for Helper" section. You should see a bunch of other applications there. It's the thread this post is on. Copy & paste the format below and fill it out. (The --=| + |=-- brackets are not necessary)
What is your in game name?:
How old are you?:
How long have you been on the server, and how well do you know it?:
What is your total in game time? (/ar check):
Do you have Skype? If so put down your username (Not required):
What staff would recommend you? (its alright if you can't name anyone):
Any experiences being staff on any other servers?:
Are you fluent in any languages other than English? And how well?:
How often can you contribute? As in like how many hours a day/week:
When are some examples of times you have felt you have helped out? (ie. testing something for a staff, reporting a grief, defended a player... etc.):
What do you plan on doing if you get helper and how would this benefit the server? (put effort into this):
Keep in mind, any applications not following the format will not be taken seriously.
Tips for applying:
Be mature: It makes you seem a lot more capable even if you just sound like you're mature. Try to sound older in your application. Use a higher vocabulary and try to be grammatically correct.
Give your app. personality: Yea, we've seen you in game and all, but your application is the first real time when we can really meet you. Don't make it like the rest, make your application stand out by making it different somehow. Be sure to include why you are different than the rest. Don't make it all about what you're good at however, take some time to add some information about yourself.
Put effort into it: You have no idea how many applications get denied because of this. People look like they took 5 mins to make their applications. Things like:
"I want helper because I want to help out with the server," or
"This is the best server! im on every day thats how dedicated i am!!!"
Are really common. Try to be above this. Take a while to not only make your application be long, but sound good and mature as well. An example of an application I personally thought was great was Herp's app HERE
But also, don't copy her's word for word please... (I've seen people do that)
I recommend checking out some applications posted by some of your fellow players and seeing for yourself what kinds of applications get accepted, and which get denied.
Note: Your chances DO increase if you've donated, however not by much, so you shouldn't donate just for this.
Also it is a rumor that you need to be active on the forums. Many people (including some who've been accepted) make their accounts on here just to apply, and therefore don't have very high post counts.
So I've applied, now what?
It usually takes anywhere from a week to a month for your application to get reviewed. For it to be accepted you need 3 admins to approve. Iko counts as one. Usually those 3 are Iko, Mickey and Hunter, as they are in charge of applications and promotions. However another admin may accept it instead of Mickey or Hunter
If your application is denied, please review the reasons for the denial and work on those areas. Once you feel you have improved over time, you may apply again. But please note: YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO POST ONE APPLICATION EVERY 2 WEEKS! If you really did improve or at least tried to it should take you way longer than just 2 weeks.
If you are accepted however, you will be notified in game or on Skype of your promotion and be explained your new responsibilities and perks as well.
