Title: All New players, Crafters, Mad Max wanabees!!!
Post by: Tomowolf on December 25, 2011, 02:54:03 pm
If you ever wondered about having friendly faction which focus on RP and PVE& charity gameplay - so you found one.
From there I wanted to start collecting people to the faction which will focus on those things.
You can join now to the faction - or just write on the list and wait till wipe - then we can start the fun.
After You'll write in I'll give specific info about what we'll gonna do in-game.
Contact me on IRC of there on forum by PM. - you can write some comments on this topic, and take part in by writing info about yourself :
1. Character name (not needed)
2.What do you like to do mostly.
3.Info about yourself (age, nationality)
4.Will you take part in Role-playing events or such gamestyle?

Whever are you taking a part in other factions you can join this freely - its not PVP, we are neutral.

This is just like for me.
Always when I tried to join some factions they instantly asked.. do you have lvl 21 PvP character. I said no and they said go make one xD
Really..

What's your timezone Tomowolf? As you can see I am already in a faction but I wouldn't mind giving you a hand if you want to take some newbies out for a walk around the wastes and stuff.

Sounds good to me. This community would be wise to focus on "player retention" for a few years maybe, to get the player base up up up. Your idea sounds good - help newer players get started.

Oh and watch out for Mad Max 4! Here comes Fury Road!

I'm all for these types of factions,Good luck Tomowolf! I think next wipe well be very fun and challenging for PvE players and role players.

Yeah it seems most of the factions that do hardcore recruiting is for people who need numbers for PvP and town control.

I think its best said that there is 2 games going on there is a PvP game and a PvE game.

@Marko trust me when wipe comes the server is going to be flooded with people. A lot of people are waiting for wipe. It has nothing to do with how people treat each other most of the random crap that goes on are personal conflicts which results to base raping and pking. Then theres PvPers calling each other names. Most of the behavior is common on the internet.

2 men enter 1 man rage quits.

LOL! Love it - what a great Mad Maxian semi-quote.

Gr1m, i don't disagree with you on the behavior issues in online games. But what i am saying is, no matter how many players don't quit due to the bad behavior of others, there are a bunch who do quit for that reason. It's not possible to know how many, nor the proportions. Such info is not in a database. It's not on a spreadsheet. We cannot run a SQL query on it. It's simply a matter of opinion based [hopefully] on our own observations and experiences.

So my opinion is...if we could look at a graph that shows how the player base has gradually grown here over time, we'd see it is in fact increasing. However, if half of the people who quit were still playing, the numbers might be 10 times higher. Maybe only 5 times, but maybe 20. We don't know. I base this on what i have witnessed thus far since August. Four months seems like a fair sample of time to me. I'm not saying half the people who quit quit due to being PK'd, but some percentage quit over it. If we had those back, we might have 6000 people waiting for wipe instead of only ~600. As scary as that may seem, it would be a heck of a lot more donation money, and donations is apparently how this thing is running.

So i'm back to a simple point: we should be helping new players get a decent foothold on the game rather than murdering them with little-to-no discretion. Because murdering them with little-to-no discretion drives some of them away [and they take their donation money with them - there goes our next new server.]

Lets be fair to Tomowolf and not Hijack his thread for his faction, I well make a thread called "Server Numbers" in general game discussion. And lets continue this discussion as gentlemen there.

Once again Tomowolf good luck, this sounds like a fun faction if I was more into PvE.

Move your disscusion about faction to the other topic please - I do not want there a flamewar ^^. If there is any new player that want to enjoy learning about the game, and have fun just write in.

I well put good word in for Pheonix77, I helped him get started when I first started playing and he is a good trustworthy guy I have shared a base with him before he does not steal anything.

Well I am a faction leader with a small faction, most are waiting for wipe now :( We have bunker and outpost, we have been learning and discovering the game together.
Currently I have access to SG 3, BG 3, Demo 2, Doc 3, Arm 3 as I have been trying to discover what suits me best, haven't tried EW 3 yet.
Unfortunately I'm having P.C problems at moment so I'm not getting on much - should be getting a new tower "Soon"

I would definitely be interested in something like this, seeming as I am new.
I guess I just like roleplaying and PvE, crafting is a little bit too dull for me though. Maybe some classic PvP gang wars or something would be nice, but I kinda wanna stay away from TC  :-\
I live on America's east coast, (EST). Age is not really an issue considering I'm mature enough to function properly on the internet without sounding like (loll i want 2 jon factin so i can get lotz o itanz xDDDDDDDD). But if you must know, I'm 14 years of age.
I will be be operating mostly during the night in my part of the world, and during the day if I can get out of RL and classes for a few. I can get on almost when ever during the weekends though, if needed.

Well you can join us in NCR (mostly in that troll town), if you meet me just give me a sign(my nick; Dr wiesiekSG)
If you want to join some hunting , caravans etc. we are sure that we can invite you, but we aren't any pvp gang so we wont kill anyone unless someone attack us ^^.


EDIT: With big help from TSAR faction I've managet to get a faction base with strange name 435 ;-).
If you will be long enough with us you will be invited to be in it - but there wont be anything worth more than sledge or spear so don't bother about baserape.
