Hey Kaddalaug, I was passed on your name from some people in OCE when talking about wanting to support Asia more as a region in RL. I pretty much just wanted to see if you think 6mans re adding Asia as a supported region would be worth it/a good idea and would help the Asian RL scene? Thanks for your time!

KaddalaugToday at 21:32
i'll get back to you in a bit

HighToday at 21:32
Thanks heaps :smile:

KaddalaugToday at 21:32
between you and me the current scene here is kind of in shambles lol

HighToday at 21:32
Yeah, I have heard and gathered

KaddalaugToday at 21:32
we dont want to waste your time either

HighToday at 21:33
I wanna help as much as possible if I can :slight_smile:

KaddalaugToday at 21:33
might take a few days for me to get back to you if thats fine
also just out of curiosity can i know who referred you to me?

HighToday at 21:35
That's all good. OCE is kinda in a shambles at the moment too. Tonight I have put a twitter poll out to gauge interest too from the general community (https://twitter.com/HighOCE/status/1218158455099248647), but I am not sure how much of a Asian reach I'll have, and I'm almost sure you'd know more than myself haha
Lethalforlife did. I threw the idea past him as I know he is kinda involved-ish with the Asian scene. I asked who I should talk too and he referred me to yourself

KaddalaugToday at 21:35
ah okay

HighToday at 21:36
Is that a bad thing?

KaddalaugToday at 21:36
no lol its fine
was just curious

HighToday at 21:36
ah okay

KaddalaugToday at 21:36
i'll send your tweet around

HighToday at 21:36
Thanks heaps man, really appreciated.

KaddalaugToday at 21:36
so uh main thing is our current setup has a lot of players under diamond
and we dont really want to leave them behind if we do switch

HighToday at 21:37
Are they like Plat players, or something closer to Silver?

KaddalaugToday at 21:37
i believe most of them are plat

HighToday at 21:38
I'm sure I could sort something out.

KaddalaugToday at 21:38
yeah maybe 1 or 2 are gold but most of the active players as far as i can tell are plats minimum

HighToday at 21:39
At the moment, in OCE and Asia, I want to try help players progress as much as possible. If that means aiming at lower skill levels to help them build up, then so be it.
Mind you I am not involved in the Asian scene at all, so hopefully I can get involved somehow
Just want to help the scenes grow

KaddalaugToday at 21:40
yeah i get it
also can i ask, are the higher ups fine with this? like moving into asia again
last time it didnt end too nicely

HighToday at 21:41
Yeah, I asked Aspire about what was going on, and the following was said
it was closed for inactivity iirc
I'm not against it really
Then asked if I could put a tweet out seeing what people think, and he was all for it

KaddalaugToday at 21:42
ah okay cool

HighToday at 21:43
I have a feeling it'd be a bit like OCE in the way that it runs completely different to NA/EU, so I'd hop over and then try get some mods from the Asian scene to help out too

KaddalaugToday at 21:43
how different is it?

HighToday at 21:43
Just the way people conduct themselves. I mod all the regions and nothing is like NA/EU

KaddalaugToday at 21:44
ah yeah makes sense lol

HighToday at 21:44
Also the fact OCE is a very laid back when it comes to rules. Pretty much don't be an idiot and you'll be fine
In NA and EU, the rules are super super strict.

KaddalaugToday at 21:44
yeah the main issue a lot of the players here had was that everything was super rigid
but we've recently made changes to our current setup and i think it should be better than last time

HighToday at 21:45
And in OCE I can moderate it just by myself. In NA and EU there needs to be at least 5 mods on at once otherwise it's just a crap shoot.
Yeah, I think I am pretty good at bringing on feedback from players and conveying that to Aspire and Wunder. Obviously I don't want to come in and ruin what you guys have and make a scene, just want to do it in a way that will help everyone involved.

KaddalaugToday at 22:13
what are the rules on servers?
in game

HighToday at 22:14
What do you mean? Like what servers get used in game?

KaddalaugToday at 22:14
ye
cause asia's a pretty big place

HighToday at 22:14
Well, again, something up for discussion.

KaddalaugToday at 22:14
fair

HighToday at 22:14
I would assume wherever the most people would be situated.

KaddalaugToday at 22:14
cant have more than 1 region?

HighToday at 22:14
Like in NA, there is a default server, but if everyone agrees on another server then we all g

KaddalaugToday at 22:15
ah okay

HighToday at 22:15
In OCE, if all players agreed on Middle East servers, then there would be nothing wrong with that,

KaddalaugToday at 22:15
lmao imagine whole lobby playing with 300 ping

HighToday at 22:16
would be kinda fun

KaddalaugToday at 22:16
so uh just the prelim consensus is that rl6mans is seen as too official

HighToday at 22:17
Any chance you could expand on "too official"?

KaddalaugToday at 22:17
sort of like how the server is set up, vcs etc
i think people think of it as too competitive
like a lot of the active players are here just having a good time you know

HighToday at 22:18
Well, there is only one way to fix that, and that is by people taking it less seriously.

KaddalaugToday at 22:18
lmao true

HighToday at 22:18
I know that is easier said than done, but yeah haha

KaddalaugToday at 22:18
so like in terms of how the server is made would we have any control over it?
like text channels, vcs stuff like that

HighToday at 22:19
Like rank c in oce was the same, no one wanted to play bc try hards. Then after a month all the sweats went up and the chill players stayed.

KaddalaugToday at 22:19
thats another thing as well
our player base is probably much smaller

HighToday at 22:19
Look to be honest, I'm going to try push for me being like, the "Asia server manager" like there is in ME, then I will take all the feedback I can do what is best.

KaddalaugToday at 22:19
how is it done in me

HighToday at 22:20
Sosa is the "ME manager", he pretty much runs the show.
I feel kind of bad coming in and being like, "the top", but I have experience with the whole 6 mans system and I think I am good at taking feedback and doing what is needed.
Obviously though, I want to have a strong feedback team to make it best as possible for everyone.
Because at the end of the day, if it isn't like players want, it won't be used.
At the same time though, Aspire and Wunder will still be the top of 6 mans as they own it, but I'll do everything I can to make it how the community wishes.

KaddalaugToday at 22:22
alright
anyway i still gotta talk more with the other guys so yeah

HighToday at 22:23
All good dude, as I said before, thank you very much for your time and helping :smile:
