Tiali Bixa-Loca	The 2nd thing ah did when ah started playing (the first was learning how long it took just to walk around) was hire a speeder and went exploring mah home planet, went to every square at least once and ended up lvl 3, at which time ah started looking around for a faction

Akadama Satoshi	^ Also, is there any way to steal a ship? Edited By: Akadama Satoshi on Year 12 Day 58 16:47 ____________

Lilith Delcroix	You can dock someone's ship into yours, and keep them from using it, but you wont be able to use it either unless they let you. Thats about it. No actual way to steal ownership. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Akadama Satoshi	.....This game has been around for 12 years, and it's not even close to completion. I mean, seriously? This game has so much potential it's not even funny. Why hasn't it been finished by now? ____________

Lilith Delcroix	I seriously dont get people like you, if you'd actually pick a race not because of its highest FS chance and put some work into the character, you'd be happy you can't just get randomly killed. And once you actually have some of your own ships you'll buy for earned credits you'll be happy some random noob can't steal it from you. So why don't you quit whining and actually start playing the game? ____________ Moons can't fly.

Akadama Satoshi	I'm trying to. I can't fight anything, it takes 5 days to walk across the friggin street, and half of my clothes are "semi-implemented". There really isn't much to play. I really do like this game, you know. I'm sorry I got angry about that. But you must understand how I feel. This game would kick so much ass if it were finished...But it's so unfinished. And it has been for 12 years. And yes, btw, I did pick Gand because of the FS percentage. Edited By: Akadama Satoshi on Year 12 Day 59 8:26 ____________

Hal Breden	One of the main problems is that the level of complexity and growth of the game was not adequately anticipated in the beginning. We've changed clients a couple of times (included a downloaded version) and several core features (such as inventory and travel) have needed to be rewritten to account for the load. There is also a lot more "game" once you get off the starting planet. Wait for your faction pick up (or are you on Gand? I can also loan you a ship) and for them to give you some tasks to do, and there's a lot more possibilities. It's always going to be slow, but I, for one, appreciate not having to be at the keyboard all the time to play this game. Or even logged in. Start travel somewhere, go to bed/work, and you're there in the morning. If you want more immediate interaction, get on the IRC server and meet some folks. Not all of them are crazy - only most. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Akadama Satoshi	I'm almost at Corellia atm. NPC travel. I do get a salary from my faction, so I can afford NPC travel:/ ____________

Skeltsco Ofsseto	Yes, Factions pay you to work..what a concept. Most likely if you are in CEC they will come pick you up from the SP. Just let them know where you are. Edited By: Skeltsco Ofsseto on Year 12 Day 60 11:10 ____________ Recruiter for the Akheton Corporation.

Akadama Satoshi	What about RP scenarios? Are there any active ones? I'm not the best at RP'ing, but I know what I'm doing. I'd love to join the RP community here, if there is one. The RP community on my favorite Text MMO(Not sure if I'm allowed to name it) is pretty much dead:( ____________

Hal Breden	You can start in the Meeting Hall, for fairly "freeform" RP (but still using your SWC character, in the existing SWC galaxy - this catches a few people out), or you can venture over to the White Scenario boards for organised, GMed scenarios that award XP for good posts. White Scenarios can be a little hard to get into, though. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Lilith Delcroix	While back GE used to have their own scenarios on their forums, you might try to ask about those. Whats the deal now I have no idea. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Akadama Satoshi	Where should I post my character sheet? the white board, the RP forum here, both? (Luckily, I already have a character sheet from the Text MMO I mentioned in my last post. I started a SW RP thread there. Sadly, it died down after a few pages, due to the mostly dead RP community there:( ) Edited By: Akadama Satoshi on Year 12 Day 62 17:23 ____________

Jevon Lambright	YOu don't have to post a sheet, we assume your RP your skills. AKA you cannot be good at everything. ____________

Akadama Satoshi	So, I just insert myself into a scenario? ____________

Year 12 Day 63 13:59	New player help thread
Jevon Lambright	You are correct. ____________

Vrik Dakari	Yep, just post in any active RP anytime you wish. Just make sure you read the title of it first, noting that certain restrictions are not placed on it. i.e. High Stakes ((Exclusive RP, DM if not the List)) Others will say something like "Invitation Only" or "DM before Posting", stuff along those lines. Obviously, there is no way to stop someone from posting in one of these "restricted" RPs, but generally there is a level of respect associated with these and others don't tend to intrude upon them. Generally speaking, these "Invitation/On the List/DM before Posting" threads are headed by either a more experienced RPer, or one that is simply attempting to keep newer RPers, that may be less experienced, out. Most of 'em are pretty considerate and will allow you to come on in as soon as they've seen some of your work, albeit it is actually good. I talk with a decent amount of experience on that, being a more active RPer that is actually heading an RP with the title above. Hope to see you start RPing in the Meeting Hall, more RPers are always welcome as far as I'm considered! ____________
