What I personally hate about this thread... WE THE PLAYERS are making newcomers play the game with OUR GEAR, OUR TIME, OUR DEVOTION... and you know what is really FUCKING STUPID... the creator DOES FUCK ALL BUT GIVE TIDBITS. Yeap.. I will undoubtedly get susspended for my post... but think about it... I PERSONALLY Have given away GODLY items in competitions, and not only that, BUT, others have followed suite and got SHIT on because idiots can NOT read... ANYWAY, why should YOU, MYSELF and OTHERS GIVE AWAY things that WE have found and spent our TIME obtaining to keep a game alive where PAUL does NOT even listen to those that stick around and contribute to this GREAT game... yes it is GREAT... but... if he can not LISTEN and try... THEN why should we help him when HE DOES NOT help us SUPPORTING HIS GAME????????.... note... copy/pasted for later reference... thank you all for your time.

Hi all,
here is a constructive attempt to bring some new people to the game.
It needs active help from many of us - as long as we exist here ... I think it is necessary if we dont want to extinct in a short time.
We should organize a regularly run, where 3-4 experienced players carry 1-2 new players, explaining the game and leaving drops, maybe already owned items to them if they seem to be worth it at a jour-fixe weekly.
The jour-fixe should be every thursday evening at 18:30 of these local time points.
Because we live in different time zones, a US and a European point of time is the choice.
Every player willing to join should just hang around scanning the players online and be active to organize the runs, if enough pros and ofc at least 1 newb shows up. if you can find someone to join as a newb, bring him/her !
Clans could write this to theire webpages, joining players or at least supporters of this could carry a message in the personal profile and underneath the message as a fix text.
Something short, invitating and giving the necessary facts.
Ideas how to make this better are welcome, if we could make it start a regularly event, the jour-fixe gets better known and will draw new players to our game, open new markets, teach that helping and sharing is fun.
If you accord to this :
Be there next thursday and wait at least from 18:30 until 19:00 of your local time - and resist a full run of experienced players.
Write into your profile etc. about this.
Be willing to run 4 hours for 1 GP and select what you can give away.
Show that you are a person of deed, not talk.
Hope to see many,
Verdun
Please, tell me if I missed it, but I do not see anywhere in here where it says we need to lend/give gear...
If you choose to devote time to helping new players, or give them gear, that is very gracious of you, But, that is your decision, and your actions, and no one is to blame for that.
Games have kinks and bugs, games go through changes, the way games are now days, its the community that really affects a game.
With the attitude of yours and others, I can see why the games user base has fallen...
Again, if you wish to post and help out, or have an idea to IMPROVE the OP's post, awesome
Otherwise your thoughts may be kept to yourself.
