Remember, if you're a Llothite drow and male, you bow to all Lothite drow females.

Or you don't. :shock:

There has been an INFLUX of new players last week and this, a few of which I've had absolute blasts with them rp wise.

I had NO clue what I was doing when I first arrived here (and I'm sure a large percentage pf the populace feels the same,) till a charrie by the name of Krisa showed me the ropes, IC and ooc.

I never miss a chance to do it now.

[...]

Newbies rock, because even when we have oldies leave, new players come in and bring new life to the server. Always be nice to them, because we were all once newbies ourselves.

Man, thinking back to how newbie I was... Yeesh I sucked. I'm surprised anybody RP'd with me at all back then.

*climbs into onto his motorcycle, loads his automatic shotgun and goes a-noobhunting*

No negatives in this thread! Shoo! Only newbie looove.

I believe the newbies are our future...
Teach them well and let them lead the way...
Show them all the beauty they posses insiiiide...

Give them a seeeense..of priiide..to make it easier..
Let the newbies behaaaavior..(LOL XP LVL PLIX GIEF GOLD omg lol Loot? Abc? Yours mine? Drooid? Why can't I be a Balor in Cordor fgt Dm's are NAZI's AHHH)

..Remiiiind us how..we used to be...

If some among them are innocent, it is expedient that they should be assayed like gold in the furnace and purged by proper judicial examination.

Imma newbie! *waves* I get lost a lot, but generally in good company.

Welcome.

Enjoy your newness! You only get to truly oocly explore the world once.

Welcome. Pay attention to my Alternative Beginnings II thread. Don't be afraid to apply for that, if you'd like to launch your adventurer career with a quest.

Imma newbie! *waves* I get lost a lot, but generally in good company.

Welcome aboard.

Wait, the newbies have legs? just kidding, you guys do rock though. we were all noobs at once.... But please, make yourselves known! Best way to get even better RP is to know the people better that you RP with...

I've helped a few new players, even if it mean bending a bit [not breaking character, but helping things work favorably so they get an idea of gameplay.] And I always am sure to provide: "I can be found at /tp "Torzeng" when online." Because learning how to do tells reeaallly helps with contact <.<

As long as you don't disturb other people it's a nice gesture.

If I spy them in the entry, ill talk there, or if i spy them in game i usually pm them, and send them to the forums, and gab at them a bit oocly to see if they're lost/confused/need help. Its important to treat people nice, Amia can be -very- daunting...

Indeed, I try to help the newbies who ask and/or those that are notably trying. I too think back to when I myself was the newbie. It wasn't pretty, that's for sure... No, wait... I mean, I was amazing ::nod::

Yeah, sometimes it's kinda nice to think about how dreadful we once were. Keeps us humble. You know, besides Krisa, the Black Flag had the most patience and most fun teaching me how to be a proper victim. Have to shout them out as well. And god..the forums were indispensable. Still are.

Let's see... I ran around in the typical Leather Armor/Antler Helmet/Torch and Short Sword combo that is so common of "newbies." Put down campfires in Haur's. In a semi-serious event in the bathhouse, I didn't do any dicerolling and just sat naked in the bath drinking and farting. And I thought it was hilarious to spam the falling down emote and laughing. Yeah, it was a wonder I wasn't banned as a random asshat at first.

New players are the life force of the gaming industry, so well said cobbs! i myself recently introduce my girlfriend to amia, and shes hooked worst than i was when i first started. Its great to teach her first hand all the stuff ive learned since i was a kid when it comes to D&D as well as internet gaming.

I wish I could remember how my first days were. I just remember meeting 'Deemer's Oninre (<3) for the first time, Katje, Leggomi Eggolas (<3 Robbie :P) with my former Eilistraeen Priestess, Valkirya. Back then all RP I saw from Jud'Vardas was being sat at the bench beside the temple until one day I sent a tell to him asking why in the hells he would always sit there quietly. I think it was then that Valki and he started a friendship. ^^; I do remember being annoying by asking every single PC where was the Underdark and if they saw a drow mage looking like her father (i think I gave a short description). Like, really, asking every single player around if they knew of him or could take me to the Underdark or have a rescuing party after him. >.> Recently, I got to meet a few newbie drow, too. Oh boy... some of them do not like authority. I had Auron being a bully for the first time and it did not make me feel good about it. ^^; Life Below is easy as long as you hold back from talking back to females until you are of a high enough rank. Bowing to all of them help too. :P

On my first 2 weeks of playing Amia I got booted I think about 6-7 times. The best time was when: Me: "yo (so and so) want to go and bash some critters?" Random player: "How do you know my name good sir?" Me: "I read the name floating above your head you feth. Duh" BOOT!!!! And these newbies seem to be American. Australian timezones are still quieter then a tree falling in the woods.

If I am on I'll help a newbie. But only if they aren't being offensive to me or just purposely being an ass. Which is about 50% of the newbies that come into the server unfortunatly. It's where the bad rep comes from.

If someone is unwilling to change or improve, then they can't be helped. Using newness as an excuse for bad behaviour is no excuse at all. It's quite evident which of those people that come to the server want to learn and change, and those whom simply come to the server to be bastards. It's unfair for me to say it's all newbies though. Because there are established characters in Amia whom are no better then the n00b's I speak of.

The only reason I remember my first time on Amia is because my first character, then known as Amenia Dess, stepped out of the Temple of Waukeen for the first time ... right into a buffed Balor Warrior someone had let loose in Cordor. Needless to say for the lvl 2 bard the event was over rather suddenly. And from then on I was helped to learn by more experienced people, so I believe we should help newbies. Unless they're being rude and abrasive, in which case ...

That said, I've met one or two in Aussie timezone and they've been quite good and very receptive to advice!

I agree with Selvec. Best advice I can give to newbies: Only you can define how you choose to role play. It's better to learn on your own then have someone spoon feed you.

This thread isn't about "dealing" with crappy players, or throwing veiled insults at current players. So stop dat. waggles finger It's about attempting to keep a 8+ year old video game which a lot of people adore on a server a lot of people adore full of new life through understanding that we weren't always the golden gods of RP we've become. All of us have needed help occasionally. Every one of us. A video game is not the place to learn via the school of hard knocks. Let the life lessons stay exactly where they belong. LIFE. Think positive!

I'm just acting on my own experiences. I learnt the hard way and although my role playing skillz are questionable I can still pull it off. Sure I'll answer their questions, I don't mind doing that. I do it often enough with Salandran players. When it comes to telling them 'how' to role play... all I'll say is I'm not interested in forcing them to breast feed because it's the trend the rest of you follow. They need to learn their own groove, their own style. Not copy your groove and your style.
