Nah, that's not it (I'm in that one).

Not sure what happened to the private forum for this, just noticed one day that I wasn't in it anymore (must have been a couple weeks ago). Maybe the owner wanted to use it for something else.

Same here. It just disappeared a few weeks back. Was wondering if that PM we worked on ever got used. Glad you stuck it on the Wiki Nixx.

I'm guessing that's the case. So the one on the Wiki is the final version?

There were a couple minor changes/updates (advanced equipment, I don't remember what else), but overall most of it is word for word from the final version that was in the forum.

Kk, I'll see what I can do with that then.

If you would like to open another forum, those of us that were editing it could go back and make the tweaks for you. We were sending test versions to each other to make sure it was not going to be too daunting for someone new to the game.

After listening to a recent GLB radio show where Esen was helping a new player get started, it got me thinking of some ideas to help newbies get started and be less lost. User-friendly = good.

Item 1: I'm going to make it auto-PM offers to them from D league teams when they create their first player instead of just waiting for them to click contract offers.

Item 2: It's been suggested before, and I want to do it: PM a "getting started" guide to them. Needs to be concise enough to not scare them away, but explain enough of the basics to help them get started.

Anybody want to help out with #2? There could possibly be some FP's in it for you.

I could also use some suggestions for what confused you the most when you got started and how to help remedy that.

Thanks all!


I don't mean to necrobump this, but was this ever instituted? Seems that a lot of new players are still having the usual "what do I do" symptoms, just wondering if they aren't reading or if we need an update to this. I guess I'd have to make a multi to figure out, perhaps someone familiar with new accounts can fill me in if this was ever added.

I really doubt it has, but that's purely from the questions we are asked. Perhaps we could organise something? After we do the guides page?

Not against the rules as long as you are adding to the thread.

You're not allowed to just post +1 etc.

It's not against the rules when you add to the topic, only when you post something meaningless.
