here is a chronological list of my experiences in FONLINE

Starting out with first character, usual Fallout 2 build. Grab some items, yay free stuff! Leave the area and head to gecko, on the way there I encounter a caravan so I speak to the caravan leader. "Don't Get to close!" *bang* shot to death while dialogue window is open.  :'(

Respawn north of Adytum, do howitzer quest, feel confused, that was a quest? Okay, so I'm a messenger, that will be my profession I guess. Leave adytum, encounter two groups fighting, one group wins and loots the others' corpses. I notice that they missed one so I walk over and grab a stimpak 'OOH YEAH' I think 'I'm FINALLY getting somewhere!" "DON'T LOOT THAT CORPSE" *bang* shot to death  :'(

Respawn by broken hills, head into town. Shovel poop. See another player! OMIGOSH! the first time I've seen another player! They walk over and use something on me, i guess they tried to steal from me because afterwards they ran off. Okay, I guess people aren't friendly in this game... continue to shovel poop. Get bored. Go buy leather jacket. Oh shi- I look totally bad ass, oorah, lets go travelling!

Head towards klamath, hopefully i'll get lucky on the way and pick up some stuff.

I get lucky along the way! I end up with a revolver, 5 extra rounds and a knife! Shit yeah! Small weapons is a tag skill so i feel pretty good.

Encounter a lone traveler being attacked by dogs, I decide to wait and watch. The lone traveler is severely wounded but she manages to kill all the dogs. Tough shit i say and shoot her in the head, reveling in my evilness. She survives... 'oh wow' i think 'lucky i have enough AP to shoot her again.' She survives the second shot and stabs me to death in the next turn.  >:(

Respawn in Klamath. Shovel shit. Get bored. Read manual, realize I've made my character all wrong.. dammnit, ahh well.

Yay that was annoying, okay new character go! The guide says shovel poop... okay... uhhh... i just did that and it kinda sucked but i guess i'll take their word for it, i mean it's fallout 2, my favourite game of all time.

Screw shoveling shit, i'm going exploring!

Oh wow this character is going much better, 10 gecko pelts! broc flowers coming out my ass! flint everywhere! shit yeah! I only had to quit and load the game a couple of times when it froze but now i'm going to be rich! I head into town to sell my stuff.

Hit by rocket at town entrance before town even loads. -99 health and all I saw was a black screen.

okay... no noob protection.. or even 2 seconds of invulnerability to compensate for ping when entering areas... ahh well can't fault a player for taking advantage of a flaw in the game.

Respawn by Adytum

one hour of running away from encounters, sneaking around towns and becoming increasingly more bored and frustrated with this game but holding out because i loved fallout 1 & 2 later, i'm cornered in a building with another player outside...

"hi" I say..

"fuck you" he says

and shoots me.

"..cunt.." i say


to long didn't read version:
Played FONLINE for four hours, never got past level 1. Never got any items. Never got any cash. Did boring messenger quests. Only player interaction was being stolen from, sworn at and killed. Died countless times. Spent one hour dealing with glitches.

Can I sign up to a mailing list that will let people know when the next server reset is? I feel this game could be fun, but right now it is most definitely not and I won't be wasting anymore time with it.

inb4 waztelsand iz harzh, if that's the first reply you thought of then fuck you. I love difficult games, but this is just retarded, if you want any new players you're going to have to tone it down.

Quentin Lang:
 :'(
I feel sad about you...

Anyway, theres plenty new players that just got into this game recently and were persevere, didnt give up and now actually have a nice living and friends in game.

Izual:
Well, as far as I can see you didn't read wiki's page about beginners, and didn't try to complete lots of quests either. At the very beginning, where you spawn, there's a quest giver, but I guess you missed it. And yes, this game is incredibly hard if you just go to play it without reading any advice. As QLang said, persevere  ;)

HertogJan:
I play since the last wipe.
Eventhough I screwed up 1 character rather seriously and a 2nd partly, I managed to get them to level 21.
I'm currently leveling a 3rd, which isn't even a real combat character.
Yet I have fun and am enjoying myself.
Hard? Hell yeah!
Fun? Hell yeah!

It's hard, you get killed in numerous ways.
You will encounter, critters, thieves, player killers, etc.
You will however also encounter good honest people, although they kind of a rare breed and hard to find.

First priority in this game: get a tent.
Once you have one live comes considerable easier as you can store all your stuff there and travel without the risk of losing stuff.
Personally I would advice to go to and stay in NCR till you have 1.
With the things you get for doing some minor quests and with the shit shoveling, you should be able to get the cash or goods for 10 brahmin hides rather quickly.
You should also be able to get to level 2 fast that way.
Beware of thieves.
Once you have a tent, you can travel.
You could do some small quests and the ones that give good xp.
You only have 1 chance for some quests.

relogin:
okay.. calmed down and tried again.

first up, had to delete my second account because once again i messed up a 'build'

made new character

Got quest from leeroy, Walked into VC.

witnessed what I guess was a hacker (named rusty) walking around being shot by every guard in town and taking no damage
while I was watching this I was pickpocketed by a fellow blueshirt.

"Someone tried to rob you.."
for fucks sake i think, is anybody in this game not an asshole? i decide to punch the guy.
"you missed"
"you missed"
"you missed"
At this point the guards turn their attention towards me

the thief says: 'WTF LOL!' and then loots my corpse.

playtime: 3 minutes.


might persevere another day.
