Also some Fallout3/NV players can start playing FOnline, but after seeing it's 2D graphic they're leaving, it's thier problems, not problems of "harshness". If player leaving instantly after failing in achieving something and he is Fallout player, then he can't or don't know how to lose, then multiplayer game isn't for him, let him play save/load single player games where he's chosen one and center of world.

This pretty much sums up most of my thoughts.
Without the " harshness " i can't imagine this game any better than other MMORPG''s , i like it is " raw " uncut , hardcore for new players you are thrown out in the wasteland you don't know shit to do or where are you , you are forced to interact with players , gain information , make friends in order to survive , when somebody gives you your first leather armor2 it is just " Whoaaah " , i don't want to make life easier for new players in my opinion it would spoil the game expierence.

I often ask myself what's so "hardcore" to begin with, especially as you can just, as already pointed out, buy a damn hotel room almost "for free".. You can even just do some box lifting and buy those fucking hides from some player. Why is this considered "hardcore"?

New players don't even know where to lift those boxes or even where to find information about it , your blind what to do. Alright so you get your tent gather junk for days with your small knowledge of the game shotguns , desert eagles etc etc. then one day that player gets tent raped by a follower - sounds pretty harsh and hardcore to me.
I still remember 2 months ago when i was a newbie , I almost lost my nerves playing this game , crafted sawed-off shotguns and 12GA ammo for 1 and a half hour then one thief takes it away in few seconds , every shit you loose at the begining of the game feels like you lost something very important.
You never been a newbie ? :D

One of the spawning locations is near hub. Naturally new players would visit this town, right? Interested players would talk to NPC. The guy giving this assignment is right at the fucking entrance. It's not the games fault if people are too stupid to read. Same goes for other starting locations aswell. They all send you to a town nearby with a small assignment to earn early caps, caps spent on hotel rooms or brahmin hides. Again, it's not the games fault.

Does he constantly yell out he's got a job for someone strong? No. Unless you see players doing something near there and ask them about it the player isn't going to know about it.... Besides not every player has enough strength to do this quest. so :).

How do they even know about hotel rooms? Shit! I didn't even know how to make the tent when I got my freaking hides the first time!
