Kudos to some Sarlona vets.......

For not just shunning all the new players. I know a lot of you help newbs in all different kinds of ways. Help with builds on the forums, giving stuff away here and in game, spending time showing the ropes, answers in advice and general chat, etc.

After seeing a few other threads pop up giving stuff away I was taken back by some of the stuff peeps are giving out to newbs. I know Nuriela was doing some real nice give aways not to long ago as well, and who can forget the offer Jackknife got on a +1 tome Nice to see the community at work! Keep it up ya'll!

::coughoneofthebestserversevercough:: Huh? what? no no the others are good too!

Promise.

Seriously thugh. Sarlona folks rock.

Generally, when I am playing..errr soloing.. my lowbies, I leave the advice/general/trade channels on and try to help out when I can. I sure wish there was this much knowledge and a willingness to share it when I started.

Kudos, Sarlona!

It was there but no one was giving you any, I know I wouldn't.

And what?!



I tend to help people out who show a real willingness to learn the game and become serious players. I personally wont give away an item to someone who might be gone tomorrow. Thought I could use the bank space.

Only have a lowbie cleric on this server but I do log in now and then and try to help new players but I do have say quick is right you guys rock.

I've leveled a new character over the past month or two from 1 to 20 and in the course of that time I had the chance to run with many pugs. Sometimes that was good, sometimes that was bad. Sometimes I was patient, other times I just wanted to get Stormcleave done for the 500th time since I started playing in 2006. I was a little overwhelmed at first trying to help a bunch of new players but I finally settled on helping 3-4 players who seemed to enjoy the game, were eager to learn, and fun to run with. I added them to my friends list, equipped them with gear, gave them advice about builds and the game to the best of my ability, and pointed them to any resources I knew of. (Kudos to the many who have taken the time to create guides, resources, and lists within the community). Its been an interesting experience and I hope Turbine can take this growth spurt and run with it.

Yeah I wasnt saying you had to give stuff away to be someone who helps, hope it didnt come off like that.


I was going to throw a bunch of stuff away but decided some newbs could make use of it. I chose the forums for the simple reason that I figured the people who read the forums, and have the ability to post have at least spent some money in the game, and are trying to learn about it to some extent. My thinking was these peeps had made an investment in this game in some manner, hence deserve this stuff more then any froob running around the harbor.

[Thelmallen]

I have to say that I find the game totally invigorating now. Going into the marketplace or harbor is like the old days. I leave the advice, general and trade chat on just so I can see what people are asking and saying in case I have some pearl of wisdom to offer (i know i know highly unlikely).

As a newbie and recipient of several free items, I would also like to thank the Vets on Sarlona. It was random chance that my friends and I chose to start playing on Sarlona after the EU beta - I'm glad we landed here.
My son jumps into PUGs all the time and has had good luck even though he is an average-to-poor player. The other players sometimes get frustrated, but no one has been especially mean, and I count that as having a decent player base. Mostly they help refine his playing and he's gotten much better for it.

So here's some thanks from the Sarlona newbies.

This is why Sarlona is my secondary main server. (Khyber has Gornn, and you just can't compete with that).

[Kalari]

This really is the best server Ive run on many of the others but none compare. and to think I only picked it from the list cause I thought the name was the prettiest lol

[Cedwin]

I've had nothing but good experiences so far with the old timers on Sarlona. I myself am an Aerenal outcast, got moved over here when the servers merged. This new home is pretty nice though, I think I'll stick around for a while.

Oh I agree, those using the forums in a positive way and looking for items to trade are at least trying to become a part of the community. I just tend to do random acts of kindness and generosity to those who seem to both need and are really intending to become a serious player. I have plenty of spare items, I just hate making lists of them on the forums. I can't remember the last trade list I had up

[Original]

I was clearing stuff out of my bank and giving it away... but I still hate grouping with all these froobs!

[Flasharte]

im a perpetual noob, and have always felt that the players here have been very helpful fo the most part. in general the a$$holes are few and far between. I try to return the generosity and kindness that i've recieved, pay it forward and all. So i'd like to thank everyone who has helped me out over the years and echo quik's sentiments regarding help for actual noobs. Keep up the good work folks!!
