what's the current default when setting up an account? Seems to be straight to fragnetics..correct?
as a new person, it probably would have been better for me to have began on a server such as ezpc...to learn my way around, learn the mechanics etc. And then, since my interests are RP my character, I could move on over to fragnetics and be able to focus on roleplaying my character and learning settngs, instead of coming up with creative ways to ask which buttons to push in what sequence.
Recently met a new player who was trying their best to follow the fragnetic policy, so I took him to Kada's, and they were taken aback with all the "{you are OOC!] flying through the air. He/she was then like, "i don't think RP is my main focus at this point, especially with the conversations I see now"
I started to explain that it wasn't really always like this, but, to a new person, it often is....so I checked myself and instead mentioned ezpc, and said perhaps he/she should give it a look. Then I had to search all over to get the link...after finally getting it, they were very thankful and appreciative, and seemed to be headed off to a new positive start instead of bailing.
So, perhaps for new people, ezpc should perhaps be recommended by Xargon and have the web address for registering listed? He lists some other address, so the one for ezpc would fit in nicely.
Or even have a blurb on the accounts page with links to both, giving suggested advice for a starting point, explaining the benefits and focus of each option.
Thus giving them an option to learn in a more conducive environment, and then, if they'd like, come on over to fragnetics and get into the RP scene.
Or perhaps they would decide to stay on ezpc and add to the community there.
