What Shadow said

[Captain Jack]

New additions to how the feature will work:

Published Paths will provide a link to the (forthcoming hugely improved) bio page of the creator.
They will also include a small description from administration (as an independent source)
And reviews from those who completed it

I have seen a path and how it is laid out it actually gains difficulty by level on its own. It starts out easy but by the 5-7 step it is moderate and by step 12, difficult.

I like the increased difficulty of the path and I see most paths being structured like it.

[Captain Jack]

I have published a difficulty guide.

Length should factor in difficulty as well as objectives. If you require a hard landmark, then this is obviously more difficult.
I have also included an extra flag: Whether or not the path will reset on abandon. This should also play a role when picking a difficulty.

I also added a new type: Adventurous - This is for creative paths - Roleplay is required.

Obviously, you should create the type that appeals most for you.
For those considering more than one, what we need most right now is a few Educational ones and 1 good Adventurous one. Then humorous can follow.

[Captain Jack]

I have now already received multiple paths.

There is one pre-approved. Still, I asked the player who supplied, to try to improve it more. Not because it wasn't good but because it is evident it can become better.

One problem I noticed to other paths, is the lack of gradual steps. Shadowood said it well above. You need to put gradual difficulty (especially at Educational ones, Adventurous it does not matter much. Humorous, well, I don't think it really matters.).

You should analyze the time someone may need to complete it and try to control it. Do you want them to finish it right away? Do you want to delay them? Upon completing the path, a time will be displayed: How much time the player needed. We will create leaderboards then, based on every path.

So, you should look to avoid the possibility to have your path switched. If someone switches, it means he is at a dead end or he does not like where it is going and generally, it sounds bad. This is more possible to happen if steps have big difference with each other.

[Shadowood]

These paths are strictly for newcomers? So anyone who “just joins” after it goes live??

Or will you allow up to a certain “day(s) old” player partake

[Captain Jack]

No limits. Available to all. We can use a recommended for newcomers label, where applicable.

[Bomont]

Can a player work on multiple paths at once, or must finish (or abandon) the one they are on before starting another?

Can a player work on multiple paths at once, or must finish (or abandon) the one they are on before starting another?

yeah I'd like to work on multiple paths at once
