The PRTA reform!
Ladies and Gentlemen, PRTA is in a progress of change. This Community will no longer be a gaming 'host', it will be a gaming community! We have outlined the major changes in the following text. This change, is made mostly to give PRTA members and administrators a reward from all their hard work. We used to give out reserved slots to anyone using mumble, this is still a requierment, but not the only one.
Member units
All members in PRTA will be sorted into units. These units will be the current PRTA membergroups. Wicca will review any new groups that wish to start in PRTA. Current members are listed here:
PRTA Members | PRTA - Project Reality Teamwork Alliance
Unit ranks:
We will use existing units for matches and events that are organized. Not to mention anyone who is a member gets alot of priveliges and hopefully is able to contribute more to the games on our server.
Commander (Unit size: Platoon, 16+)
The commander recieves administrative permissions on the PRTA Teamspeak server. He does also recieve administrative permissons on the PRTA PR servers.
Leader (Unit size: Squad, 2-15)
Recieves simple rights on the PRTA Teamspeak server, aswell permission to switch others on the PRTA PR server.
Member
Recieves a reserved slot. Is requierd to show up for a weekly activity report at his unit. A member cannot be in PRTA, if he is not in a Unit.
PRTA Administration
Administrators This is the new managment rank, that will be established soon. Anyone retaining this rank, is working on major projects, the website, servers or leading a team.
"Teams" Media group, event team, PRBF2 administrator group. We do alot of work within PRTA, and need people to help out as much as possible. So dont be afraid if you cant join one of the Units, you may join a team and help out PRTA in exchange for a reserved slot.
Forum changes
After first critics, the "Political Debate" forums were closed. For a period of a few month, it has still been readable for the public - now we removed it.
As 0x10c has not been released yet, we established a Minecraft forum section instead and gave Wh33lman the wheel of the minecraft servers under PRTA.
Each member unit within PRTA, will receive a private forum that is only accesible by themselves and certain administrators. This was meant to be the place to perform activity reports, organize and discuss internal sessions.
Website update
After an enourmous feedback about the old (grey) website layout, we decided to change it once more - the second time - in this year.
To shape it more user-friendly, there is an enhanced navigation with detailed submenus that will show up, if you hover the triangles right beside the tabs.
Event countdown
Henceforth, a countdown at the bottom of the sidebar will inform you about the time until an event starts. Therefor you don't have to calculate the accurate time of the event's launching.
Forum descriptions
It happened many times, that people came to us asking, where specific threads, guides, and sign-up's are located in our forums. Therefor we amplified the forum view with descriptions of categories and their subforums.
User ribbons / ranks
As we opened PRTA for games and mods like Minecraft and DayZ, we decided to supply those groups with seperate user ranks and seperate ribbons, because they are not directly participating our biggest part - the PR community.
Donation page
To make it more simple and transparent, we have completely revised our donation system. A new page, with a donation indication was added. Try it yourself and help us out
PRTA launches it's on Wiki
Lastly, we would like to inform you about our new wiki. It's launched and already contains some useful information, such as our server and forum rules. More stuff from the website will be transfered away to it. See
