A Newbie's First Impression of Armageddon

[Trillmendous]

Character Creation Process - My overall first impression of the Character Creation Process was good and it was all thanks to the Helper system. I met a very nice Helper on New Years Eve too who stayed with me for about an hour and guided me through the whole Character Creation Process(This helper didn't seem to mind either)

1st day of playing - I'm not going to lie but I kind of felt a little annoyed due to the fact that all over the forums, helpers, and even players in game they all tell me to link up with a clan but it's so hard to actually do that at the beginning. From my experiences so far I felt like the people that led the clans were either too busy to deal with me or not around. Overall I liked the theme of the game and how realistic things are... and how the admins try to push for this realism this is not a game where players go and hunt all day killing everything just to get levels this is definitely a true role playing game.

2nd/3rd day of Playing - Things sort of picked up, I got in contact with a certain high ranking member of a clan the day before but he was busy, he did however tell me to get in contact with him in about a weeks time IG.
He immediately realized I was a newbie player and was very patient and taught me quite a few things ICly and OOCly(commands and such). My overall impression of the player base is a good one.

Forums/Admins - This is my first post but I've been lurking quite a bit around the forums and I've laughed quite a bit at some of the threads especially the ones where the admins are asking people to fill a certain role with funny pictures. I do hope I can be more involved in this forum actually and get to know most of you. I also had one experience with an Admin named Talia, she was also very kind and answered a certain question I had.

Overal Impression - I love this game and I've only been playing for 3 days. @admins You guys have a class game here for sure(from my knowledge this game has been around for over 20 years) and I will definitely try to stick around

Welcome Armageddon. Don't be afraid to murder, betray and corrupt your fellow players in game. They won't see it coming if you're a newbie.

Good luck.

Welcome. Nice of you to post. Have fun!

It's my first day of playing as well... being a roleplayer but not playing a MUD before it's fairly confusing to me, especially with the commands-- if there is a way to cut off parts of a scrab then I have not found it and I probably never will. It's also a little difficult to find people to roleplay with due to my timezone (boo australia) but the little bit that I did have was fun.

Glad you're doing well!

Take a knife or axe and skin it.

skin scrab


Also you can behead any corpse, to present the head to someone, with the "behead" command. I'm not entirely sure if you can behead a scrab, then skin it and get another head, but that would be funny.

It was definetly tough for me to actually get involved in anything the first day too but it kind of picked up the next few days. I think you'll find someone willing to help for sure - I noticed something really early about this game by reading the forums and just listening to people talk at bars. everyone seems to be looking for help. The merchants need hunters to get them materials, the hunters need merchants to pay them. The nobles need aides(I don't much about this but I heard people talking in the bars about being an aide to a noble)

Welcome!  I always like these first impressions posts, especially when they're so kind and glowing about helpers.    I hope you continue to have fun.

[Culinary Critic]

Welcome!  You're going to love it here.

I understand very well about the leaders being less visible, but a lot of players haven't been around as much as they normally are due to the holiday season.  I'm sure you'll see a big increase in the next RL week at most.  Stick around, it's more than worth it in the long run.

Welcome

Welcome to both of the new players posting here... I have a bit of comment/feedback for the OP though.

You said that you created your character New Years Eve. Then your first impression on the first day of play is that no one was around or too busy to talk. I think its fair being so close to a holiday that you keep an open mind about people not being around or too busy. Holidays tend to cause less people to be around. It should start to pick up soon though.

Good Luck everyone.

Hey! I'm actually new too. I've spent about 19 hours in game now over the past 4 days. I think I'm getting hooked. So far I love the game, lots of sitting around at first until I met a guy in a bar who actually took me under his wing, showed me around, taught me commands. Guess I got lucky that way, especially with all the post about players tricking newbs. Anyways before I ramble more, love the game guys and gals, and hope to see you all in it soon!

PS my next goal is joining a clan!

[Fujikoma]

Tallia tickles my feelings inappropriately. Love the job you folks are doing! Thanks!

You're getting hooked? 19 hours over 4 days would equal more than 4 hours a day... Stop kidding yourself and face it! You ARE hooked.

haha I find this post very funny because my very first day someone asked my help for something, took me to a quiet area and then it turned out whatever he needed help with was gone... I was like well shit... this is it I better get ready for a fight to the death.

but nope,  he legit needed help with something but not anymore. He took me back to the bar and apologized for wasting my time

[RogueGunslinger]

That or he just realized you were a noob and suddenly felt bad that he was going to PK the shit out of you


I once killed a noobie by taking them off to some suspicious place and blugeoning them over the head. Then again I was a noobie too, but I still felt bad about it.

New newbies as opposed to what? Old newbies?

I think that's you, bub.

Hey,

Welcome to the game! I wish I could go back and have that feeling I got from my first few days of RPI mudding. It blew my mind.

I just have a little tip. Christmas really got alot of people away from the game. I use to think it should bring more people to play with holidays, but working two jobs it's a pain. Keep at it. The leaders should start to return soon enough!
