New Volunteer Orientation Class Hand Outs Kiosk
Since the original Hand Out Kiosk only hands out the US/EN version of the Hand Outs, Neovo has created a new Orientation Class Hand Outs Kiosk at SLVEC, next to the Original one. This Kiosk is suited for 16 Languages, where as at this moment, 8 languages are already incorporated. As a result, Neovo masked the original Kiosk with a Notecard Giver, which tells they can obtain the Hand Outs from the Kiosk next to it. Due to an unknown effect, one might NOT see some or all the Language Cubes in this Kiosk when walking towards it from the far side. For that, you may want to notify Apprentices they have to physically walk up close to it and then choose the Language they will understand best. Selecting a language is done by clicking the Cube with the Landcode of choice.
(This is not yet approved by the V-Team. Neovo will restore the Old kiosk in function and will delete this new Kiosk when he receives a denial for it. If approved, this Kiosk will remain the Hand Out Kiosk for Upcoming Classes.)
