What is your in game name?
Korwyn
How old are you?
16
What part of the world do you live in (Timezone/GMT):
East Coast of USA, Eastern Standard Time (EST)
How long have you played minecraft?
About 4 years
How long have you played WildPvP?
About 5 weeks.
What are your past ranks on other servers, or even this one? (Do not include IP)
I have been Helper on this server for about 4 weeks, but I have not been staff on any other server.
Have you read the rules posted on our forums page? Yes/No
No, I cannot find the rules on this forum, but I have read the rules found in the actual server.
Have you ever been banned/muted/kicked on this server before?
No.
What do you think of the current staff on our server?
I think that the current staff are great. They are very welcoming and helpful. However, there are periods of time where I've been playing and there have been no staff on at all. This could pose a potential problem for when players need help with something, there are hackers, or there is some dispute.
How did you get a hold of this server?
The previous server that I had been playing down had closed due to monetary reasons. So then I decided to play factions servers again and googled "Minecraft OP Factions servers" and came across a Youtube video (I don't remember the Youtuber sorry!) about WildPvP. I decided to try this server out and here I am!
What made you decide to join the WildPvP staff community beside the special perms and commands?
I had never bothered applying for staff on any other server because I knew that I would not be able to commit enough time to the server in order to truly be a useful and great staff member. However, I had started playing WildPvP right when my senior year of high school was starting and everything was starting to wind down. I no longer had any tests to take and I am almost done with my college applications. Now I can commit the time needed to be a great staff member of WildPvP.
What do you specialize in? (Besides helping all the players everyday)
While I do not specialize in anything much server related (I am pretty good with builds and decent with redstone), I specialize in marketing. I am a member of my high school's DECA Club, an international marketing oriented business club that holds regional, state, and international competitions, all of which I have participated in. Through my participation in the club and competitions, I have acquired marketing skills and ideas to help attract more players to this server.
What are your goals for the server?
I have two goals for this server, a main goal and a secondary goal. My main goal is to attract more players to this server. In order to do this , I believe that a Top Monthly Voter reward system will boost current votes for the server, bumping the server up on the server lists, attracting more new players. Older players can become disinterested with the current vote rewards, as they are relatively small compared to the money that the older players can bring in with farms and spawners. Therefore, having a large prize for Top Monthly Voters will motivate all the players to vote for the server. The only way to get players to do something is with incentives, that is basic economics. By giving a large incentive for achieving the top monthly voter slots, along with the competition that this would bring, players will be voting to receive those rewards. My secondary goal is to show the players that the WildPvP staff are very fun and welcoming, not just distant. In order to achieve this goal, I will make sure to be active with the players and encourage the other staff members to do the same. The staff are the representation of the server, so if the players view the staff in a positive manner, they will also view the server positively.
What can you do to make WildPvP a better place overall and attract more players?
As stated above, I have the marketing skills and ideas in order to attract more players. Also, I think that a Facebook group would be an asset, as it allows for another mode of connection to the server. While every player may not join the actual website, many of them may have facebooks that they check on a regular and daily basis. By tapping into this area, the staff can also connect more with the players outside of the server so that players are more inclined to keep playing on WildPvP. Also, I believe that I am a very amiable person and that as staff, I can show the players my amiability through my actions, increasing the retention rates for new players.
Why should we choose you over all the other applicants?
You should choose me because I have the maturity and the skills to be a useful staff member of WildPvP. I also have several ideas for increasing the number of players in this server.
Thank you for your time in reading this application!
