New Players

Well it seems like a lot of new players are getting into the game, and it's been interesting to me to hear a lot of the feedback they have been giving has been about not knowing what to do or feeling lost or confused.  I am not interesting in bumping all the threads about this, because this is not about hearing what doesn't work.

Lord Bacon-o said hes all for players figuring out stuff on their own, as am I.  But I can understand being confused because I was completely lost/stuck at the beginning of the game as well and I might not be playing if it wasn't in Beta.

Stoot said they are considering giving players a starter house and I know a while ago he said that they have spent a lot of time trying to get the beginning of the game ready for launch.  I know there are greeters to help (I personally didn't have a greeter to help me).

Anyways, I was just wondering if people had any suggestions about how to fix this problem?  Perhaps start off the game by explaining there is no "point" to this game would help.  Any other ideas?

  • I loved the idea of a greeter - surprised you didn't  get one but I played another game the other day and I reckon the helpers were just not on line - some on holiday and the time zone problem too so maybe same problem in glitch!  Once I got restarted here I got to grips again  but sometimes I just get stuck so I ask others for help - I am lucky  I came from Faunasphere   and there are loads of ex players from that  who I already knew - from all over the world and so I meet some of them most times of the day  - to ask for help but I am naturally happy to talk to people - but I was nervous the first time I did it online - now they can't shut me  up!

  • When I first played it was really easy discover by myself how start, I guess I'm too curious, but I made cheese/salt, got my papers and many other stuffs almost by instinct.

    Of course I got some help too, especially to know the realty link - maybe I was lucky about once I ask for help to a glitche that became a great friend :)
