It's like that in all MUDs. People log in, take a look around, and then usually leave.

Many of them come here not expecting what they find, I think.

I really don't know why they started the advertising campaign now. School is just starting, envoy changes are preoccupying the admins, money is tight with a lot people. I mean its drawing in the novices, but why is the burden being put on the players?
Xenthos2005-09-12 00:46:39
I'm just lucky that it started during the weekend, so I can actually be active... I'm gonna be gone a lot once the week starts, and a lot more novices will be going through things without getting attention. :/
Hazar2005-09-12 01:13:57
Woah, that's...a lot of novices.

Newton is going to be packed.

Can't be worse then when the game opened, I went to killing cows and rockeaters at about level 10 because the average life span of a fink or gnome was about 3 seconds. tongue.gif

Yeah, an aquamancer was testing his new staffcast in Nil, and it was miswoven to actually be effective, and it froze the entire plane.

... the above is a joke.

Hey that's me tongue.gif

Well from the novice point of view, it's really scary when you first come out from the Portal of Fate. You're getting bombarded with a lot of information. Even if you could read them all and also understand what's going on, still the log flood is enormous :x
The first day was true horror. I spend some time reading the races, guilds and archetypes info and I thought I was going to be ok, but after the tutorial I've completely lost it sad.gif
I didn't know where I was, what should I do, etc. There was a "(children)", a "(Newbie)" and lot's of actions and players telling me what to do. After 4-5 attempts of my guild I've understood that I have to use ghelp novice to learn more things, but still I was confused because I didn't understand most of them... It was really embarrassing that the people from my guild kept telling me that everything I asked was already at the ghelp txt blush.gif
Today, (my second day) after reading pretty much of the help files, going for a walk at Newton caves and looking at the maps from the cities, I slowly begin to understand what's going on. Still got much to learn blush.gif

Anyway, I own a big thanks to all these people that keep helping me and I hope to learn the more I can to enjoy Lusteternia.

(sorry for my terrible English blush.gif I am not native english speaking)

I do hope all our new novices realize we're trying our best. But please do let your guild know (in a tell if possible, GNT if not) that you are new to muds if you've never played one of IRE's games before. They're a bit..okay a LOT different from most muds, but you'll find your guildmates will be willing to help explain everything to you if you let them know.

And on that note, WELCOME smile.gif

HAHAHA. That's right, bitches, he's back, and he's extracting venoms free for all Magnagorans!

... That sounded less badassed than it actually is.
Richter2005-09-12 20:04:08
I think that the forums should be mentioned in the intro. As much as people whine here, I think newbies to MUDs would like this place to ask ooc things.

Aww, I don't like it when a guild answers all their novices questions with 'read GHELP suchandsuch' - answering the questions in person is so much more helpful and friendly =\\

Welcome! We are *actually* nice people, OOC (even murphy). Hope you like it!
Iridiel2005-09-15 15:28:31
Don't call me nice, please. I might get offended smile.gif
AFter the two or three first days, you'll be in lusternia as if you had been there forever. About your english, the only non acceptable english is that weird branch that goes "1'M L33T U R N00b ROFLZZZROFLZZZ"!!!!111!!!!111" wich tend to make you look ridiculous anyway.
