I know you are all aware of the problem we have been having getting new players from the OI and onto Help Island...in particular OI 14, which for some strange reason was the only one that new residents were arriving at last night.

While i was over there passing names on to Teeple to get them teleported to HI i noticed quite a few go to the info board about Help Island and read it, then thinking that the other board, which says ready to explore second life on it , was the way to get there they TP'd into the world before I could stop them, I know at least 3 of them said that they would like to go to HI and then clicked on the wrong teleporter, before I could let them know it was the wrong one.

It's just a thought but if this is happening as often as I think it might be, maybe the Help Island TP should be much more obvious, maybe larger than the other one and perhaps include some pictures of what we have there for them, or the map of the island. Let them see that it really is worth going there and that help will be available for them unlike when they get in world when they have to take their chances.

Ideally I do think that all new players should come to HI and that the TP to the mainland should be somewhere on HI not on the OI's, I realise that this is probably not feasible as all new players must decide for themselves where they want to go.

I got quite a few thankyou's from those that i did send over last night,all saying this place is awesome which i completely agree with. We have a wonderful resource there for the new players and I think it;s such a shame that not all of them see it.
see you all inworld :)
