Newbie Introductions: Easier

han • 25 January 2014 at 3:02 AM

I was just thinking how to make the introduction section for new players easier, because it's a bit hard to decide what to write when you're new 😊

Maybe it could be this fill-it-in form or something, something like this (but you don't have to fill in all the blanks)

NAME: ______________________
AGE: _______________________
HOBBIES: ___________________
WHERE I LIVE: _______________

That would be lovely; I keep seeing some newbies demanding friends, and some attitudes leave much to be desired...

I feel bad, but this is partially why I've mostly abandoned welcoming newbies; it's hard to pick out the ones with potential from the ones who are most likely going to quit within the first few months...

@wolphire
Thanks! I see that a lot.

Ooh, but maybe remove the "Where I live" field? I know there's quite a few preteens floating around the site; I don't doubt that some might put down their literal address if prompted

@wolphire
That is why I said that they didn't have to fill them all in in the first post??

Silly me, I think the newbies have been rubbing off on me, because I seem to have missed that part... XP

@wolphire
Haha, it's ok.

@snowball888111 - Makes sense! What are some of the problems newbies face anyway (besides trying to obtain retired creatures)? I've been here a long time and don't associate much with newbies, sadly. I should, though. :/

@thursdays_dove
Thanks! I think that most newbies would want to be able to make some good friends, and I agree, I haven't chatted with newbies much either. My thoughts are that if you could easily get to know a newbie, you could make friends with them easier (:

@Snowball888111

This seems fine. ^^
Another thing that newbies need help with is what each creature is worth.

@Snowball888111
I think I just straight up skipped posting on the welcoming board. Lol I just went to other boards instead because it was easier and I'd actually have something to say.

@starling
Creature worth is SO confusing. I totally agree that newbies need help with that! (Coming from le professional newbie right here.)

@starling
Thanks!
I agree, but it would be hard to keep updating creature worths because it depends on peoples opinions.

@poe
Haha, yes, I totally agree 😋
