I love this game and I've been playing since alpha. I led The Hell's Angels briefly before the last wipe, we were small but we liked helping newbies get the hang of things. One thing about this game is that the average gamer, one who may have even played the old Fallouts, get's pk'ed a million times and gives up hope. Let's unite to stop this! I suggest starting a faction dedicated to assisting new players and immersing them in the game (hence RP/PVE) then sending them on their way. If they choose to stay, great! If not, well, enjoy your time in the wastes, join a new faction, whatever!
I believe we should follow a few basic principals.
1) NO PK (any player reported as pking will be immediately dismissed)
2) HELP OUT (if you meet a newbie, offer whatever assistance you can without taking away from their experience)
3) HAVE FUN (The Wasteland is a great place, once you get the hang of it! I love getting wasted in the Maltese Falcon then stumbling over to Iguana Bob's for some chow!)
I know there are a few factions trying to do this, but if we combine forces and spread the word we can expand the fanbase and draw more donations for our overlords, thus improving all of our experience!
Feedback is appreciated!
