So players are leaving, not only because of anonymous "morons", boredom or whatever. Guess how many people told me they would leave after day or so, if we never met? Self proclaimed Mother Theresa of Wastes had spoken.

Manual is outdated and will be removed (as Lexx said somewhere). But I can agree, reading didn't kill anyone yet.

Awesome, but for now you can't tell newbies to rent these rooms. Argument busted.

Why you should put your word in EVERY SINGLE TOPIC, especially if you are NOT playing this game as a normal player, without of using a GM account? Which means, that you can't soberly assess the situation.

I'd like to know the answer too.

and i think that newbies only deserve suffering, why? because all the games are very friendly aand everyone can play it, but this game no, so if youre a newbie and have a brave heart (lol) you will deserve to grow up and become powerful, if not then just stop of play.
You must win play fonline,
thats what i think

Even in Real Life most of us have a short tutorial at the beginning.
We are learning how to walk, learning how to eat, how to say "mother" and so on. Usually you have linear beginning where you making closer to game mechanics.
There should be some temple-like where to learn how to shoot, how to fight, how to steal, how to heal.
Also the longe the starting the less it encourages alting. Also It is the right place to show what is Enclave (shooting someone or something)
Not bad at all.

So everyone should get mutie artillery/grid camp for da lulz right otherwise they shouldn't play Fonline? We should make the game even more harsh so only those who can beat others cheaply by camping or swarming a lone player, can play right? If this game represents Reinats kind of thinking, we might as well say Fonline is only for griefers and trolls.
Graphics will always be a part of the attraction. Since we know the game is graphically inferior, then it needs something else to draw in players. UPVP was tried with Ultima Online, a game that had graphics and the playerbase STILL TANKED. Its clear the "harshness", more than anything else, drives players away from the game. Do folks realy want the Fonline playerbase to comprise entirely of Reinats?
The hardcoreness comes from the playerbase primarily made up of griefers and trolls. A game that caters to sociopath type behaviors will attract? Sociopaths.

Speaking of which, this might be a bit offtopic but I want to share an anecdote: some time ago I decided to give TLA a try. So I create a character, head to Bartergrounds or whatever, say hi to some Russians and asked them to please give me some small advice about what to do in that server, the answer I get is "fuck you damn french, get back to 2238", which I respond with "i'm not french, i'm argentinean" which made one of them say "argentineans are pussies, were raped in the falklands war". Uff, tough one. I actually never got such a strong one here in 2238. Anyway, after being called "emperialist" more than once, I run around getting my eyes hurt with my poor looking Van Buren model until I go into one of the tents. When I want to get out, a character in shining power armor is blocking the entrance and shouting "suffer! suffer emperialist!".
So yeah, the "hardcoreness" comes from a poor player base. But it's not hardcoreness, it's just lulzy nonsense.
