#2105, "RE: Explain to your friend what he did wrong"
Edited on Sun 10-Feb-08 03:50 AM

          

That works, because it's my friend.
The random joe who sees us on top mud sites, clicks us... he gives us 5-10 minutes to impress him.

If he goes to fight his first mob, and it takes 3 minutes (literally, roll a thief and go fight an agro fleshy), theres a good chance we lost that one. >quit, and click another mud on the site

I've never played a mud where you actually need to wander around the world you don't know to practice basic fighting to be able to handle the very first mobs to get to level 2. It's not that hard to see why my friend thought all fights were going to be similar to that, extreemly lame and time consuming.


I'm not saying give them 100% all level 1 skills, I'm saying let them have 35% more starting skill so they can handle a fleshy and maybe stick around long enough to learn about praccing.
