It is hard to get into, just because of meeting leaders, but it is not the hardest. "Inn Sitting" is honestly a discouraged practice.
>B.) The RP standards of herald tend to be beyond what at least >I would describe as a true newbie (even if they are all >lesbian felars who use the hug social way too often)
I don't think this is true. Roleplay skillz are acquired over time, and through many different games. Most people who come to CF are already experienced roleplayers - the nuances of roleplay in CF are simply things one has to add to the pile of stuff they already know.
The hardest part of this game isn't roleplay - it's mastering MUD mechanics, PVP, and item/gear knowledge.
Because of this, nooby folks who can't regear but can roleplay fun characters get into Herald all the time.
>C.) Heralds don't have powers that help them outside the inn.
Being able to get a free beer in most inns across Thera is pretty cool. Otherwise, you're right.
>D.) While I always assumed heralds were supposed to be more go >out into the world oriented they are really just sit at the >inn because they don't participate in cabal wars in any way. >This kind of limits them to explore trips and sitting around. >Explore trips happen less often and for the most part if >players are just going to be sitting around for extended >periods of time they log off these days.
Heralds ARE supposed to go out into the world. Inn Sitting isn't encouraged. If someone chooses to Inn Sit instead of interacting, he has only himself to blame for being bored. And exploring and raiding are not the only ways to interact with Thera - you can interact in any way you can think of. A noob is not limited in this respect - except that they don't know all that they can do in Thera yet. Splntrd
