I've been playing Freelancer SP for a long time while having no idea Discovery existed. Very excited to find out it does as it has now exponentially increased the amount of enjoyable playing time I expect to get out of the game. I was just happy to see the expansion for SP, the RP online server thing just blows my mind. I'm not a heavy gamer so when I get excited about a game its a big deal for me. This will actually be my first time playing an online RPG...
I've got a few questions and am hoping for some answers. This is a diverse forum site so I'm sure I could spend a lot of time finding related answers, but I figured a little interaction doesn't hurt anyone. So here goes...
1. Should I just jump into the online game or lay low for a while, surfing the forum (that faction forum that the site keeps telling me to visit won't show up on my screen), playing Discovery SP some more to get acquinted and building a RP character?
2. When I do start online, should I explore around, checking out the systems to decide want I want to do or look for faction applications etc.?
3. Why did I get uber pwned when I jumped into Virginia off the Texas trade lane (its a guard system...no idea what that means)?
4. What is a lolwutter?
5. And if I start using the forums regularly do I have to create one of those colorful, interesting banners with Freelancer ships that is displayed after everyone of my posts because I am not that comp savvy and do NOT think I could pull one off with any success?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'm taking this way to seriously, but this is pretty new to me. I'm pumped and slightly apprehensive at the same time. Thanks!
