I just wanted to post because a few of the posts on this thread are something I've been pushing for, for a long time. A lot of them are what would be really beneficial for new players
I've had this idea a long time ago that the lobby could be used more like a hub for everybody, new players and active players alike to do whatever.
It's already like that now with shops, the bank, casino, keys, quests, bosses, etc. So I believe that if it were open to new players it could even be an attraction to introduce new players to FRG as whole instead of just TTT which not everyone might be interested in.
A lot of the unique FRG content is locked behind level 5 through TTT when it's stuff that would be popular to all sorts of players(survive for example). I imagine it'd be a strong way to advertise the server more.
I've seen new people join the lobby constantly just to get kicked out, never to be seen again; or join TTT get stomped by someone who needs an ez kill for challenge scroll and ragequit
I would much rather have staff deal with the random troll if new players can get a better first impression and see more of the content.
(It would give Alex something productive to do while he opens crates at least)
When I suggested this originally (in 2016?) the lobby cap was changed from 10 to 5 instead of being removed for fear of trolls or Excel using his alts as a bank but with better staffing and runes of banking that should not be an issue.
There may be some serious issues with people trying to evade cooldowns and I'd understand if it wasn't done for that purpose. I'd like to see it given a chance at least.
