Baby Pirates and New Players

[Jack Sunskull]

Looking for a girlfriend any takers? LOL. I am a married guy and if I was single I would not be looking for women an online game to date that have avatars and dress scantily.

I am a mastered pirate and I am always looking for new friends and adults to hang out with in the game. If you see me on send me an invite, any on POF is always consider of friend of mine. You guys are a great bunch of people, you are what motivates my to keep playing the game.

There is a players guide on the potco site. I haven't looked at it in a while, not sure if it's totaly updated, but it does go over the basics of game play.

As far as helping out random pirates, I'm always willing to help, but not babysit. In fact I randomly ran into a guild members kid yesterday...kind of funny. Sat there healing her for a bit when she suddenly said "Hey, my mom and her friends are in your guild!" Never know who you're going to meet

Hey, they added a paragraph for Revive already... and updated the ship cargo maximums - so the instructions do get improved as the game changes.

I'll generally help random pirates, but only if I feel that they can use the help. I won't except random friend invites though. Instead, I prefer to work and chat with the person some, to try and gauge how good they'll be to play with in the future.

As for TPing without asking, I usually will give a warning before removing someone from the friends list. I tend to be a lone wolf when doing my quest and leveling,(that's just the way I am) and I don't like pirates dropping in uninvited.

But if you really want to help a noob. take him or her sailing in your big fresh War Frigate, plunder a ton of Royals and fill their pockets with gold.

Best advice yet for helping out a new player...Can't emphasize that enough!!

I'd hate to crash the party, but I'm not one to help low levels.
The ones I find NEVER listen. I once had my ship open to public for the first time to try it out, so I told the pirates ( low levels of course ) to stop shooting, but they wouldn't stop. I landed, and it was the LAST time I EVER used Public. Except not the VERY last.
Since Test Realm has mainly advanced players, I don't mind Public being on.
So, as you can see, I'm not a fan of helping newer players out, but it's my opinion.
Sooner or later I'll try again...

Oh, I forgot to add, sometimes they don't even talk, so that annoys me, because they don't even say what they need, etc.

[lostmymarbles]

I understand your irritation with some new players Thunder, but remember some of them are kids. Kids with chat filters.

If you think they're filtered, use the prepacked phrases to get their attention. And if they are new.. they surely don't know all of the phrases to use to ask for help.

Believe me.. as a new and infrequent player of Toontown, I get lost on Toontown's chat because I'm not familiar with it.

Hey, they added a paragraph for Revive already... and updated the ship cargo maximums

I think I'm in shock... all them times I've looked at that manual only to see it still holding spider-web info - and NOW they finally decide they want to keep it updated

Well I hope it continues

[Eliza Creststeel]

I admit I do hate when they don't talk, except to command you to do things or reproduce their current quest objective... That will get you cut off my list real fast.

[CarribeanThunder]

I agree, but again, it's hard to run a guild these days...
I've never bothered.
1 cuz i'd doubt i'd get 20+ people.
2 cuz I dont know what to name.
3 cuz it'd be hard to get people.
