Several members of my kinship, and several of our friends, attended the first course session last night. Most of them had never attended a Mythgard event before, and they were all impressed with the quality and detail of the discussion! But they also had some concerns and i promised I'd bring them up with y'all, so here goes:
Two of them were getting ready to arrive an hour early because the Mythgard calendar listed the starting time as 8:30, and they didn't realize it was set to Central time. (If folks add the Mythgard calendar to their own personal Google calendar, it will do the conversion automatically, but I suspect most people will just look at it on these forums.) It should really be set to server time, to avoid confusion.
The forced emotes. Yeah, I know everyone else noticed them, but I promised I'd say something. >8) We're hoping that the Lore Hall will be set to "Serious Business" to prevent this, but there will still be a potential problem during the field trips, especially if it's causing Corey's client to crash. Can we approach the devs about this? They might be more likely to intervene if the emotes are literally preventing the class from proceeding.
There was some confusion over who to ask about layer invites (and over which layer they were supposed to be in), but I managed to handle that on my own.
There was also discussion of whether they should even bother showing up in-game if they could just follow on Twitch/Discord, and they do have a point. I expect the equilibrium will shift around a bit and we'll work out after a few months how many people prefer which.
That's all! They do appreciate what an undertaking this has been and will continue to be, and that it'll be a learning process for everyone involved, and they definitely want to continue with it.
