So the issue arises to WHY are the players not aware of this Ping.

Maybe a walkthrough to lvl 15 would be good..

Take them through mice-wolves-turkeys...skeletons..and once they are level 15 set them free into the world

Hmm ok so what are you trying to say..that a Ping system would not be helpful ???

You didn't actually add to my point at all...

What I am saying... Is why don't you take a look at Skelwyn, and
see that this "ping system" is already in place. You will note that
your very example about lorelei is even one of the pings.

Not only this, but there is a ping to the bank, the inn, dashiva,
mice, snakes... And perhaps more, at the moment I can not remember
anything else.

Fuck the n00bs.. I learned this shit on my own.. If you can't handle learnign to play the game just quit. You are wasting everyones time.

Amen Brother.

You didn't actually add to my point at all...

Hmm Tim..what about a Ping system for NPC's...not sure how applicable that would be in this Client but..

Its all well and good to tell people "sell stuff to lorelei" but they cant find her...or "Buy spells from Jared"

How about a sign or something where you can select an NPC and its location Pings on your Map.

Oh wait...the Tina quest actually uses exactly what im describing...It pings the location of the Entrance Guard...Re-use that for other NPC's

First, Tina is mine. Second, it has also been done on NPC's like Skelwyn.
Hmm that is like what? Since beta? Skelwyn is meant to be the players
guide at low levels.

Well..i dont understand it.

If i play a game...and i cant figure out how to walk or talk in the game..I dont  give up playing...I seek the information i need.

thats what we patient people do. The only problem is, most people isn't patient... so my suggestion tries to get the unpatient people to play the game too

and btw, youre ping idea is great

Hmm there is an idea...i might make a keyboard layout with all the Faldon required keys and the actions they perform.

I think Faldon needs to seperate the Levels a lot more...Have Lvl restricted areas where there is a minimum AND a maximum lvl to enter.

A lvl 400 killing people in the snail pit is no fun...

Maybe more Quests that actually require the player to explore into the game a bit more.

Sadly i must say that since there are so many RPG's out there, the gamers begins to expect more from the individual game. Examples could be like the many people saying:
"well in runescape you can..." and
"muonline is much better because..."
It is, sadly, only the small part of gamers that is reading about a game before they play it, perhaps they read later on, but they dont want to waste time reading a lot about it if they dont like playing it right off.

Thats why we will want it to be easier starting up without reading all the guides, but instead get it a little by little in small "popups" in the game.

as you said yourself:

It is those people that we have to get to keep playing instead of only keeping those 10-30% that read the guides before they play

Ee can oi give R cuz me founded uno

I guess you dont have the same helpful attitude on the mesage board.

And Kartiana...the problem with a lot of new players is that they hear about it from a friend...Download the game and then try to play it right off.

If someone actually took the time of day to read the Starting Out Guide then they would know a lot more.

Also it clearly states the advantages as Citizen in Upgrade Account.

If new players actually took the time to read through the website for 5-10minutes i think it would help them greatly.
