They'd learn better through in-game experience.
Exactly!
BUT
Imagine this: You are just enjoying a perfect RP story. You ere very excited because things are going right the way you have imagined. "Oh, this is perfect", your back mind tells you while you are driveling over your keyboard with a naughty grin on your face.
You are having everything under control and suddenly a ship called I am a Rookie captain riding the biggest ship in the Universe pops up and starts melting your shields like a snow on spring. And you were just in the middle of typing into the console Oh yes, please, send me your telephone number; because somehow youve figured out that the captain of that sexy ship you were enjoying RP story is the sexiest girl in your hometown.
So what do you do?
Well it doesnt matter, what you do as long as you just dont use the F-word
Story continues
By the miracle youve made it and you pulled your crippled ship into the safety.
And you ask the rookie who calls himself an Admiral "Why did you do that". And you get something like: Oh, well you were red to me, and my ship is bigger then yours.
Since you are a smart and good hearted guy, you take some extra 5 min (actually you want to impress your RP girl) and explain this captain that he has been a bad boy and that Admiral Bad Boy demotes himself to a cook replying something like Well I am sorry, I didnt know that this was a RP server,
And by the time you settle thing right, you look around and that sexiest ship has gone away. Forever.
So, do you really want the newbies learn everything in the game or would you prefer that he had some basic knowledge of the rules?
What is cheaper: To teach 100 newbies on the same way (one at the time) or, do you prefer that someone does that for you like 10 people at one time? In that way it takes 10 times to teach 100 people.
************ Quick comment: This story is not personal and has nothing to do yith you, I just wanted to exploit this opportunity to underline certain facts.
Surrender now!!!
Running is pointless. We will hunt you into the farthest depths of Sirius.
