    Be careful of the newbies running around that are not clueless ;)

    Saw one last night, I see something missing from the starting experience too, one thing calypso does it directs people on how to sweat and gets you started with a mission to gether sweat, I havent seen anything on this, something that could be changed, the noobie I saw had no clue about sweating.

    Also I guess Arkadia could do with a sweat camp of sorts, I know you need to make money yourself but with no sweat flowing easily MF may become an issue?

    Another thing I noticed was the lack of the puny killer pop gun and enough ammo for 20 minutes of fun. the sword given is over too quickly, perhaps something else that could help.

    With the limit to a noobie deposit being 200 ped in 30 days (or until they have the code) it could help keep them around if directed to sweating and given a reason to deposit, I know myself that that pop gun gave me a nice taste of hunting, even if you have to make them earn it with a run to another TP (the forementioned sweat camp) :)

    Yep! I've seen some myself as well the past few days. I stopped and chatted/helped one out that was asking questions. A TP run and some talking later and he was well on his way!

    Go Arkadia go!

    Bumped into a new player yesterday. Was able to help him complete the newbie missions & hope to mentor him if he should stay at it :). Arkadia moving along well!

    Yup, I found one too and gave a helping hand.

    This newby came from Singapore and got to Arkadia because of the Asia Game conference (or what it is called)
    Gave her/him a extended tp run and explained a few things about basic economy and some professions.
    She/he is now interested in becoming a miner and I go give some more help.
    And already considering depositing, so thats a nice start :)

    Regards,
    Ion

    It's always great to hear that some of the more experienced players are helping out with the new ones.

    Pay it forward!

    Just want to say, the new player that Ion helped out came back to the conference the following day to tell Cyrus and I how awesome the community was. Thanks to everyone who makes the effort to offer some advice and guidance to new players.

    *Bows to the community*

    *Bows to Dave and the new home he gave US*

    *Waves to the new players as they arrive*

    This game does not come with a set of instructions, or manual....it can be confusing when you start. When we share our knowledge and guidance we help build a stronger community and thats why people help others...No thanks Required, watching a new player having fun, laughing, and learning is all the reward and thanks i need...and im sure there are many that feel the same way!

    David,
    Thank you for sharing that with us, it's just awesome to have an external feedback on that sort of things!
    I think Arkadia community is even better and more motivate due to the feel we have on the planet.
    Look at the work you've done so far, enjoy the results, keep it coming and look at what we (the community)can do out of it! ;)
    :popcorn:
