Hello!

I've been involved in a lot of talk about the next app round, since the last round had such a limited window and it will have been a considerable time once the new one rolls around. I, and some other people interested in the game, was wondering if you might consider reserving a certain amount of slots for new players (perhaps 1/2 to 2/3). I have friends who are already anxious about being able to refresh in time to get an app in, and I think knowing there's consideration in place for new players would be reassuring and prevent more interested players from being discouraged about their chances of getting in.

I don't think it should be a general rule, but rather a one-time event since it's been so long between rounds.

Thank you!

Eachdraidh is going to have roughly 70 slots open this upcoming application round; in most past rounds, current-player alt-apps have always been in the minority. We expect with so many slots that easily 3/4, likely more, of the submitted apps will be new players without needing to enact any special rules to preserve the slots for new blood!

Especially given that with the upgraded AC requirements, most current players are dropping extra characters rather than adding them, we simply don't think it's going to be a concern.

What we HAVE experienced is a great deal of new players apping in, and then dropping again within the first two to fourteen days citing the inability to handle the additional time commitment. Each app round so far has had between two and seven of these. The mod team is in discussion about a potential initiative which would keep track of any app/droppers for the first two weeks after apps close, and then go back to process that many apps, in order of submission, who just missed the cut-off.
