I found HI helpful for me today. When the server went down, I was there.

I just hope when we get back up, I am still there. :eek:

You should still be on HI. If not, see if you can find a Mentor outside of HI, if you can't find one I should be online soon so IM me and I'll help you through it :)

Is Help Island necessary? No. Most of us got along without it. Is it helpful? For alot of people, it is. However, if someone is on Help Island, new, expecting to continue the conversation with the people he was talking with, and suddenly finds himself in Korea where there is absolutely no one around, what is he to do? No one told him "find the Ivory Tower" or "this is how you get to Live Help". No one told him "wait 4 minutes before trying to come back".

I recommend a temporary fix of not allowing them to log in if their home was HI or OI, preferably with an explanation. There will be less confusion int he long run.

By the way, what is the protocol if the OI crashes? Do they end up on the mainland, too?


I share the same point of view as you. Everyone's saying "Well they can contact Live Help and a Mentor will be called" Well, How would they know how to do that? I think a Notecard should be given to EVERY knew user upon getting into Orientation Island-not deletable and they have no choice but to keep it-Then they have a resource of places to go and what to do if this crap happens...

It happened to me, and I had no idea what to do or where to go, luckily tho a mentor helped me and I finally bought my own land and I'm pretty happy.

Thank you again Livinda you're the best :)

Oh, you're quite welcome Alexandra; but I was only doing what was right.

Now if only I could get back on Help Island, I'd be there to help another newbie in distress.
