Translating:

Newbie Help (Start Here) / Re: Loving the game but a bit dissapointed

Guys, I'm not complaining about the quests. I love them, they keep the scenario alive, not something like "kill-loot-sell" that we see in so many Diablo-like games that their producers insist in calling CRPG just because you wield a sword. PlaneShift is not the first MMORPG I tried (played about 4 years of various MUDs before even UO turned into a "graphical mud" - yeah, I know, my English still sucks) and I think it is the one with the most vivid and interesting quests I ever saw. It's not something like "frag 20 bears and bring me the pelts"; here we see families clashing, lost loves, traditions changing, self-sacrifice...
It's way easyer to gain some PP by killing Rogues and diggin' gold, but _it's no fun_! (BTW, I think the XP reward for quests an incentive to quit doing them and start "making real Trias/XP").
There's a lot of toppics in the forum complaining about the system NPC dialogues, I'm not here for that. I'm here asking you to do an better advertising of your best product:a rich scenario full of possibilities. And to do it, you have to "sell" it (reach the players) in a good package (show how doing quests can be fun), have a good distribution (turining the quests into something reachable, accessible) and bring so much satisfaction with it that the client (players) that it even don't think in other products (raising reward for completing a quest, and maybe lowering it for "monster-killing").
By the way, please dont fight each other in the foruns, specially here in the "help the newbies" section. When we "n00bs" (sic) come here for advice from experienced players, we mirror on your words in the future posts and actions in game. That's no the kind of players we _all_ want for PlaneShift, or any other game.

Thanks for your help folks :thumbup:

PS: How about a sticky "foreign-language" thread (or even a section) in a forum to we foreigners help each other in our own language?

  Hi there folks!
  First of all, I want to congratulate the game designers for assimbling such original world in a computer game. I play pen-and-paper RPG since I'm 9 (I'm 26 now) and rarely saw something breaking theTolkien-like fantasy taboo in a functional and innovative way like PlaneShift (I specially loved the world's history).
But here I am in my thrid (almost non-stoping) day of playing beng tempted to unistall it. Why? The game is frequently testing his player's patience. Yes, I know the game is pre-alpha and we are all playtesters, the graphics bugs don't bother me, nor the untrainable skills, but the "enter your speech to NPC here" it's totally unfunctional to newbies and foreign playes (like me). Discovering the way to assemble a sentence for finishing a quest is a nightmare, specially for someone whose grammatical english is flawed. There's a lot of posts in the foruns asking for the right way to ask a NPC for something, most of them are ansewerd by a "ask in game". I asked a lot in the game, but most of the time people just ignore me, even when I roleplay those questions (I try talking OOC only when helping others, never when asking for help).
  My suggestion is: try to broaden you point of view to gain more players. My country, Brazil, is the 4th country in nunmber of MMORPG players.and the second place (or first, the fonts diverge) speaks cantonese/mandarim. I know the official language of the game is english (and of the internet, comercial world, etc), but please, make it simplier for us from the "outside world".
  By the way, where are the advisors? Every time I ask for help nobody answers me (even with adviors online).
