Hi all , i have been playing a while now and have seen many different player support factions, anti pk factions and various other faction designed to help out and improve our Fonline community.. Some have achieved great things, others have failed or ended up being what they set out to prevent.
I have decided to try something new. Maybe it will be something helpful or maybe it will also fail, but i would like to know what people think of it and also how many people it would interest.
The basic idea is that rather then recruit a whole gang of players and try and help them throughout the game, i will just take on one new player and help them progress to level 10. From lvl 1 - 10 i will give them a safe place to store stuff, a safe area to craft, escorts around wasteland, help provide materials and resources for crafting items and building their first tent and also provide advice and support to enable them to start on the road to achieving what they aim to achieve in Fonline. Once they reach level 10 they will be given a set amount of time to move their stuff from the base and into their tent ( i will aid if OD is still low) and once this is done they will be expelled from faction. After this time they are free to either join another faction or if they would like to help out, may join me in helping out the next new player to get to lvl 10.
My hope is that through hard work , kindness and support ,i will build a team of trustworthy and helpful players and we can progress from aiding 1 player at a time to aiding even more.
This will in no way be an anti pk faction and will instead be a stepping stone for new players trying to find their feet in the wastelands and will require hard work and dedication from any players wishing to help out. We will not partake in TC with the training faction and we will not store anything in the faction base other then what belongs to the player currently being aided. Once we progress to helping more then one player at a time i will be implementing a shared tent plan so that any betrayal by players would be a total waste of time, but that will not be for a while yet..
Please leave your feedback and thoughts about this plan and also if any players are interested in either helping , or being helped

Hmm this sounds good. I would like also to help and be helped :P , so when is this going to happen and where?

Its nice idea man, new players need help, there too many pks hunting on bluesuits. I will help you in this, lvl 19 sniper. Can you contact me on irc/pm and talk some more details?

hi all , just got back from a 5 day rock festival and am starting to put together stuff related to the new player help faction. Plan so far is to use current base as a newb base for all members we are helping to use and then set up a second base to be used by all players that are helping so that we may store stuff to be distributed to the new players as they are needed. Thankyou to all that have offered help , i will contact you all tomorrow to arrange how we are going to do this and what help you are all able to offer

I'm wondering what became of this. It's been a week since New Player Support started and I'm curious, was it successful? I ask because I am interested in being helped to level 10, and, afterwards, helping in return. Sort of like a "pay it forward."

Hes propably forgot about this idea.
-
Oh wow. So he never even contacted you, though you were the second to post, and directly addressed in his reply?
-
Yeah, he wont.
-
TNL is willing to support this idea, i've PM Chenzo.
Now waiting for reply.
-
I really like this idea, and I'd like to offer help in those efforts... i play quite irregularly, but still can offer helping hand from time to time...
-
I could use some help and need a faction

He forgot about this idea guys.
-

You don't need the OP to do something similar. Pick a newb and help them out :P

Hi all , just an update on the new player support. Was going well and we managed to help several players get started in the wastelands... But as you would expect, we very quickly got screwed over by a sneaky member that first accepted our help, worked his way in with us and then raided our bases and tents. There is currently talks and thoughts about relaunching the new player support in the near future, but we have to rebuilt a few resources and create new and safe locations for bases before we will beable to do so. For now the New Player Support group is dead, but will return as soon as we can

Chenzo: maybe you could get connected with Gray Rock village (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=6460.0), as they are making efforts to help the new ones too...
