Baby Pirates and New Players

[Eliza Creststeel]

Nelly,

I understand the new member drama thing. One of my guys brought in a kid and he was great the first night. Second night, it was like he was ADHD. Finally got confrontational then disrespectful... gave'em the boot. Old guilds had an age limit (I KNOW Disney don't want us asking - usually just asked 'old enough to drive?') but honestly I've had mature kids and babyish adults.

If an officer brings in someone I'm not sure about - I tell them; this one is your responsibility. They come to you first. If they become a problem - I come to you first. Hopefully keeps down the 'Guild Everyone' attitude. As for RANDOM friending... if someone keeps at me and keeps at me, I will accept it. and then dump them once out of sight. No harm. But, more often - I will stop and actually tell them why I said No. Same with Random Crewing. As for the 'guys finding gfs issue', girls are just as bad. Seen enough level 1-5 pirate girls in tarty outfits asking to be a guys GF... Oy.

Basil - I love that you mentioned there's no TUTORIAL in the game for friends, crews, guilds etc. WHY NOT?!?

Because we didn't write them yet!
If you haven't noticed, or haven't started a new pirate lately to see for yourself, the new tutorials that are in the game for baby pirates are almost word for word, or slightly paraphrased, items that have been posted here or on other fan forums.

I believe that Disney DOES peruse the fans sights, and that they DO take into consideration things that are posted, suggestions that are made.

The game is ALMOST intuitive. But it is the only game I've ever played that comes with absolutely NO instructions. Since the primary target audience is 10+ year olds, it would make sense to have some in game reference manual. Not the hints, or the clues, or the ray of light that is so irritating when you sail. Some thing where you could pop open a "help" guide and type in 'how do I start/join a crew?' 'How do I open my crew to the public?" "How do I change servers without logging out?" "What does icon X do?" Maybe not even a type in field, but a list of FAQ's with short answers.

I agree with a lot of you

new players asking this and that it be comes to much some times and if your running your own guild like me and many others i would try and set rules with the people that are in your friend s list if they keep TP let them no to ask first that's what i do if they ask you first to TP then you will not get so mad be cause you could say no i have a guild of 300 mostly low lv's and like i said some times they just got to learn on there own heck i did every thing on my own up till i needed a crew for the take back the black pearl part.

But these new people need to learn on there own most of us did.
I cant baby site 24 hours a day lol
