Before I say anything, I'd like to introduce myself. The guys on the server call me Ad (short for adbriglia), and I am the co-owner of the Valhalla Network. Valhalla is a Minecraft SMP community that began with the creation of Bizz SMP (go to home page for more info). Valhalla was created as a YouTuber only server, and we are a united and mature community. Beyond SMP, We also have an active CrackPack server run by Warchizzy, one of our members. Also, we are a community that often hops in a Skype call together to play some mini-games, PvP matches, and most preferably UHCs. We plan on having server UHCs every 2 months or so. Anyways, now that I've explained the server a bit more, let's get into the goals that Alt and I envision for the community.
Alt and I have set goals that we want each and every one of our members to strive for. One of our main goals is for our member's LP videos to be posted in high quality. There are many criteria for this requirement so I'll list them below.
1. At least 720p or 1080p Quality (Required to get in the server).
2. Great Audio quality.
3. Improved commentary on each episode. Talking consistently and holding the viewers attention.
4. Enthusiasm to record! Coming up with great build/episode ideas and uploading often!
5. Collaborating very often with other members to increase interest and unity of the server!
6. Partaking in set server events like UHCs, PvP matches, Community Builds, and competitions.
7. Improvement on editing in every video. (Attractive Thumbnails, in-video banners, etc.)
Our next goal is on the lines of uniting the community. We are already doing a very good job of this, but there's always room to improve. Not only should we be able to work together off of the server, but also on the server. We strive for many events and member vs. member story lines. We want our members to collaborate with each other often, support each other, and help each other out when it's needed.
The final goal that i'm going to mention, but not our last goal, is that we want each member to help out with advertising the community and creating an image that reflects positively on the server and it's members. We want each member to treat their YouTube channel like a business and their videos like an enjoyable hobby. By this I mean that we want each channel to look visually appealing and user friendly. This involves adding playlists, a 1-2 minute video describing your channel, and working hard on posting effective tags and descriptions in each of your videos.
Anyways guys, this was server update #1 and I'll be posting these on a bi-weekly basis (more if needed). Feel free to leave suggestions for the blogs and as always; It's been a pleasure owning :D
Thanks and Go Valhalla!
