Assisting Newcomers!

[modsensei]

Hi All!
Just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" for helping all the newcomers to those who have reached out to the newbies and showing them the ropes (I think you know who you are -- Kami, Eric, Godyofwar, Reef, to name a few, I know there much more )!

And also we wanted to encourage everyone to keep up the good work!
We are hoping to get lots of new visitors this weekend from various forums. If you see someone who might be new, give 'em a holler and lend a helping hand.

This is going to definitely make PG an awesome place to hang out! ;D

Yes, I'd love to see new people come and I don't mind helping them understand the game.

I mean, when I first logged in, I had no idea what to do as well, yet people invited me to their Team and helped me run Tower II right of the bat, and didn't mind my stupid questions (could have something to do with my dice, but shhh). Now I wanna help spread the love too. <3

Do you mind me asking what forums did you advertise the game on? I'm interested in the general response to the threads, and maybe we could pick up some IGNs too, to see who is who.

Thanks, I'm just trying my best to serve you guys well.

No problem, Ultra!

I love seeing all the new faces in PG and I do my best to make them all feel welcomed as a part of the PG family .

Aww Shucks~

Well I love helping new people out! Believe me, having to learn on the japanese one was a pain. So in some way I am kinda like... >.> Quit complaining try learning a game in a language you can't read... But I know it's tough to pick up a new game, so I'm glad to help out others.

Except, sometimes they put me in a bad mood TwT
There was one player last night who kept asking me the same question. I don't know if his log was not open...but I got tired of telling him where the blue herbs were, Over and Over and Over... I got so tired I joined another group and left his group. Everyone else was quite dandy...

I hate it when I have to show that kind of mean tough love. I love the new people. I am happy to get them started as long as I can leech. But I feel like I do most of the rolling when I hang out with the newbies. XD

Yay for new people~

[godyofwar]

Kami I know how you feel. I had a new comer that made me feel that he hadn't played a video game or online game in his whole life. I tried to tell him how to make a weapon, but he still did not understand how. I told him exactly where to and finally, he figured it out after a half hour. But, it was well worth it.

[~>Kami<~]

This wasn't well worth it. The guy was like:
"Where do I find herbs?"
"They are found in tower 1, 3 and 4. 4 is the best place though"
(someone else) "First two blocks of 1"
...
"I want herbs, where do I find them?" <- same guy
"TOWER 1, 3 or 4"
"What?"
"... Blue herbs..."
...
"I need herbs D: Where can I get them?"
that's when I decided to leave.

We don't advertise yet, but we have posted on ONRPG and a couple of others. The only substantial response we have received has been from ONRPG, and I think Gody has helped us on some other forums with posts. The best thing you can do is post in forums you like and use, because other members will trust you more than us.

We do have a marketing strategy which I will share a little about when it launches. Thanks Cornelia.

[godyofwar]

I have a really good event going on right now, look at events for helping advertise and such.

I help new people when I can, I usually roll for them when I have the dice.
Teach them the ropes, how to make certain items (Healing feathers, weapons, shoes)
It's a shame I can not be friends with everyone though, I would hate from them
to get disheartened and quit.
