Great that there will be more team-players in the RO community but... time for me to avoid the game for a couple of days

Hopefully this will draw in more players, especially as any who like this are likely to ask for it for christmas or get it at christmas.

 

[Mike_Nomad]

I think that they meant Barashka (and Ogledow isn't a open tank battle )

I love these free weekends sure they bring alot of noobs and tons of tks and stuff but... so what it means theres just that many more nazis to shoot! I really hopep a ton of people buy the game after this. Would be nice to have alot more servers full of people to play on late at night.

 

[Jhaxavier]

I swear i will do my best to teach all the newbies how to use vote kick, so I can actually have people who KNOW how to kick all those f**king team killers

lol, I will go easy on em, I started RO the same way, thru the free weekend. But hey, I've got some newbies for me to target practice with

 

[IconoclastDX]

OH MAN!! I really wanted to try the free weekend but I cant seem to figure out when it starts! Damn you outdated Gregorian calendar!!

 

[sharpshooterklj]

Cool, the last free weekend we had did pretty well. Let's do what we did last time guys.

 

[IconoclastDX]

Ugh, Well, if im going to play I might as well break out my "AskMeQuestions" tag and get my typing fingers ready.

Edit: DEVS Might I be so bold as to suggest that your free weekend in-game news include a very strong recomendation that new players play at least one round offline before jumping into the frey? It would make everyone (including the freebees) happier and generally more satisfied with the experience.

I know what you're saying guys, in relation to the new players asking questions galore. Myself being a new player from the last free week, I know I appreciated the help given. Being a bit more experienced now, I guess its my turn this time to offer advice.

A bit of friendly patience for a few days, while we try to make the experience easier for the new players, might encourage them to realise that RO has a damned good and friendly group of players. Something that they may want to be part of. It makes the game more accessible for them, and we then get more players buying the full product hopefully, which means more full servers.

I'm also a new player from the last free week and I think you are right - we need to nurse and help the free-players and I'm ready to take my turn now. It's in everybodys interest that they feel welcome and have a good weekend with RO.

LOL, It looks as if we've gone from simply being nice to noobs to the "Proper Care and Feeding of RO Newborns".

 

[Boogerhead]

Thanks. I'm again trying to get some family to try this.

Dumb suggestion: Last time around, a number of server admins changed their names to include something like "Newbies welcome" ... Might be worth a try again.

As a relative veteran the last time around, I think I did some good by occasionally posting, "Any new guys having questions or problems? Use T to talk." or something similar.

Does this mean we could be looking at another BOOSTER PACK??
