A NEWBIE SUGGESTION
« on: September 03, 2003, 05:53:57 pm »
Hello Noob brethren,

There is something I\'d like to submit for consideration of the brotherhood. All noobs (maybe even some the cool and exalted non-noobs) seem to be running around all throughout the city without making any attempt to hail fellow gamers. This I think  is unfair. I propose that we all pause and look around  after appearing at the frickkin\' city square and walk unless we absolutely have to run. Consider how many people do you see running around at breakneck speed in the city where you live? I think this will give us more interaction time and help to build up the community and the clans.

(PLZ PLZ PLZ Dont flame me)

I see where you\'re coming from and it\'s a good suggestion. However, most of the regular players don\'t want to join and stand around at the Plaza statue to answer every single hail from new players who will probably log off after 5 minutes (or after they realise there\'s nothing to kill yet).

In an ideal world, this would be a good idea. To be fair, I will make sure I spend a few minutes when I log in hanging around and helping out any newbies I come across. This will get tedious, however, for most people- when all they want to do is have fun and hunt for crystals.

WOW! Do I get to look for crystals! I\'m tingling all over with exitement. You guys must be superintelligent mutants from mars or summin if you can do that!!!

Dont Mind the wisecrack. I just couldnt help it. Personally I think the game is a super idea. The guys are doin a great job.

Anyway coming back to the topic- It might not be necessary to hang around the spawning grounds if the players just try to walk around instead of the warp 7 they usually do. Come on we are just hunting crystals guys! Whats the rush?

 I think that developing the player community is a tad more important than hoarding two bit rocks.

People run because they don\'t want to spend 10 minutes just to reach a destination, let alone do anything when they get there.

Also I see it as a kind of \'sign\' that you have at least a basic grasp of the game/controls. Random people seen walking around look, in my eyes at least, like newbies... like they don\'t actually know how to run in the first place.

People like that are best left alone unless they ask for help. Why? Because they should already have the sense to read the Player\'s Guide and know the controls.

It may sound mean, but really- we\'re not babysitters. I think if someone cannot help themselves, they are beyond help from anyone else. If they cannot take five minutes to read the website, we shouldn\'t be expected to take even longer explaining everything to them. And believe me, we would have to do that every day for every single newbie that happens by. Do you have any idea how degrading that is?

Yeah I suppose you are right
(does it really take ten minutes to get to where you are going and are there really any places to go to? I didnt find anything of interest the couple of times i got in but that maybe cuz of the friggin lag)

Hey if you can .Can you list any places of interest? No locations, just names. Looking for them might be a distraction, a personal quest of sorts , from the so very cool rock collection excercise.

Anyway what good are the weapons if we cant fight?

O\'mogs the wise

Weapons are just for show, and there are two quests, if you can find them ;)
Browsing the forums when I\'m bored, nothing more.
