Experiment successful. Discovery is not a good place for newbies.

Funny how this will be my first post on this forum, but yeah...

I already commented the video, but i think 400 (?) signs are just a few signs to make a proper opinion on this topic.

Okay, i played maybe for 2 months back in Reunion and then stopped and picked it up in Exiles recently. So I´d consider myself a newbie for sure.
Noone ever introduced me to this mod neither did anyone ever teach me anything - and that´s fine because one of the things i knew about this mod and this server prior playing on it was it has specific rules - many of them and i READ them. Of course i don´t know them from scratch tho.

But still - i can use google. I can put some effort into trying to be a good part of this community by reading this forum and using the wiki.

If all that doesn´t help i use the ingame chat to contact Angels, Admins or last but not least other players <- in this order. So far i did this twice and got helped out with the questions i had immediatly and friendly.
In all other cases i was able to help and educate myself - and of course there is very much yet to learn for me, but I AM working on it - i don´t expect that from others to do it for me.

I mean for example the server states it is a RP server, even the Server messages try to educate you on that and other topics a bit.Aand still there are plenty of "lols" "rofls" and a ton of smilies "disrupting" other peoples experience. And again a new player gets informed that it is a Roleplaying server... so why do those people log in and behave like that? I don´t know i´d say because they don´t care.
It can´t be being uninformed, because even ingame you are told.

Why do people not respond if you PM them: "//Hey you have no ID you might get one very soon otherwise everyone can treat you hostile and it is against the server rules." I had this specific case now several times already while flying from Liberty to Kusari and NOONE answered on that, no "thank you i just bought this ship and forgot to transfer", no "wait what is an ID", no "what does that mean", no "???", nothing!
And that alone frustrated me already so much - i can just imagine how older Liberty residents feel about that.

I´m pretty sure there are also many new players like me, who actually noone really notices or people think they are an alt of someone with more experience, because we actually still fly just a trader and try to inform ourselves before creating a new character and possibly doing something wrong while doing so and that takes some time and should it be worth to anyone who plans on playing "seriously" on this server and cares about being a "good" part of this community.

So after all that rambling, my point is, why is it so important to give those "unwilling" players a nice experience? As i stated, if you want to play by the rules, you totally can. With some minor errors probably, but none as stated as in this video.

Kudos. i couldn't put it better than you did.
