But there is no rank called "staff member", so you will have to see the distance from the category to the various staff ranks.
If this chart is also indicative of power in-game, then does a moderator at least have the powers of a builder? My suggestion is to maybe restructure the helpers and builders as the assistants to a moderator... That way, being a moderator is like being an assistant to the admins. Right now, the moderator is in a strange position because they have more authority, but doesn't exactly have more power than a builder. i.e. no c-mode.
Moderators are tasked to maintain law and order in the server by enforcing rules and handing out just punishments. Builders are given creative mode in order to help build for the server. The staff are given powers based on their duty, not by the level of position they achieve(:
Ah, I see! So the flowchart is a display of positions and not ranking. I have a friend who's also quite upset that he didn't get promotion as an Adept when he started playing longer than me. What are the factors asides from those listed in the official FAQ that influence player rank promotion?
Sorry for the super-necro-bump, but wug could ya update the flow chart to include the new executive ranks? That'll be awesome!
I can't... I already have my hands full working AND also developing the economy. Besides, I have to actually be at his house if I want to get anything done. Just to give some insight into what I do, I spend at least 5 days reading various academic journals and research papers on Economic theories. Then, I'll create a prototype of the new item sell/buy prices. I take about a day to create it because there are over 1000 different data entries to be manually made. Once that is done, I have to play through it myself using various jobs to see if all the jobs can allow a player to take care of themselves. There's a lot to do, which is why I know I won't be able to take on Wug's tasks as well. Plus, you guys know Drake just joined us and Arishad resigned due to the stress. It's really not easy for staff at this time. All we really need are Helpers and high ranked players to take care of all the newbies can already. Helpers are really important to us.
