Hello! (New Player Introduction)

[subatis]

whether or not you're discouraged by the response, you're probably better off just logging in and playing.

I have said this in a few other new player threads, but there are a lot of people willing to help with all aspects of the newbie life. People willing to give gear, money, buffs or just advice/info are all over the place that I have seen. Best way to find them is to start like everyone else did and just play and be social.

You are not begging in your OP (so no offense), but some people don't really like it when a new player shows up immediately asking for a PL, plats, buffs or gear. I don't think you are trying to ask for a free ride, but you had to have figured that the post might have annoyed some people.

I am not slamming you, just try to see it from the other side before getting frustrated with those posts.

Welcome to the game btw... friend me in game and let me know if you have any questions. I just recently came back as well, so I may be able to help.

Pretty much sounded to me like begging. There are a ton of people on here that never have raided and never will. And we all at first needed help. But to just ask outright for it in a thread. Comes across as begging the way I see it.

Get in a group and ask questions. Get to EC tunnel and people will probably give you buffs, plat and gear if you DON'T beg. Just ask for some buffs and be happy with whats comes after that. It is a nice game but don't expect a lot of stuff for free.

I was in a Unreast group a few days ago and half of the level 16 to 18 peeps were happy as heck to be looting the Ringmail gear in there. Better than they had. And it is just AC stuff. So great gear does not grow on trees here.
