Guardian Friends,

We need your help! Starting today and going for the next 10 days, many new players will be arriving from a special Puppet Guardian promotional campaign.

Please log on to welcome them to our community. Puppet Guardian really needs new players and if we all make them feel welcome it will be great for the game. No need to spend a lot of time welcoming, just do it when you can.

So come show your support of the Puppet Guardian community!
Thanks for your help!

Hi Zorba,got a few questions.Firstly,how on earth did you get a promotional event for us? XD.Kinda curious about it.The second question is if I was wondering whether we could plan an event for them?Sort of a welcome ceremony?So that'd feel more comfortable and settle in quicker.

Hi masaki!

Thanks for asking as well as giving feedback! I will offer some advice on your event suggestion and leave the first question for Zorba to address. =]

I think an event would be superb in the long-run, but it will be a bit difficult to coordinate because many new players are constantly signing up and passing by the Celestial Castle (not to mention, it takes some time to get used to the basic mechanics of the game). Because of this, we would prefer that players continue to stay around the Celestial Castle area and tower with these new players after the in-game tutorial, as well as adding them on their friends' list. In other words, I believe the Welcome Week event is sufficient for the time being.

Would love to see what other players think of a different event for these new players though! Please comment here!

we should also stay around T1 and T2, and have some chat there
so when newbies come, they will know that theres some good players
and make sure u said 'HI' to them, though 2 newbies just ingore me few minutes ago LOL

event is a good idea, but what if some newbies miss the event ?

maybe we can try to gather newbies between T1 and T2, and tell them more about PG, or maybe introduce urself, or ask them to introduce themselves...etc
and when we got like 3 or 4 newbies, we can start to guild them to tower T2 for shoes and weapons (3 is just a number, could be more or less), while towering can also teach them more about this game.
2 points,
1st-they wont feel bored while u teaching them, cause there are other newbies around, they can make new friends while they are just a newbie, friends who will tower with them in the future, or maybe they will have a same goal to achieve !
2nd-it will be easier to us, cause to teach them one by one is really tired, also they might feel bored and soon leave the game. those lessons for newbies...though it will help them to understand more about PG, but to be honesty...its kinda bored

just my idea

Me with a new player

Here's GesselPumbaa, one of the only new players I've met that actually want to play the game. He's Japanese, and even though we don't understand each other, we try to communicate with emoticons and the emotions in game. I gave him a gift of friendship, a Silver Axe. The power of the internet, AMEN.

Thanks to this "Newbie Welcome Week", I have made friends, and helped a person I can't even communicate with. =] Thanks Zorbaaa~

It's so nice to see new players enjoying the game. I hope I can help. : )

Thanks for your help guys.

I really think we have done as much as we need to welcome players. Your support has been excellent.

Well, I think we should get some people away from the Kingdom of Splendor Mythos and more to the original Towers. That way newbies won't feel so lonely. Go ahead, grab a new player or two and start rerunning all the towers in order with the players. Have some fun. If you have a warehouse, put your stuff in it, and get vagabond clothes and "restart" for a few days, experience the life of being New again!
