BatMUD Forums > General > Re: Treating newbies right
This is a reminder to those out there to treat newbies right. You probably
remember Vorn who posted about wanting rogues, and then had a tiger mission
put out on him and (some) people posting negatively to his ideas. After the
reaction he received he's not been on in 2 weeks, so he's probably quit this
game. *NEWS FLASH* text base games are NOT all the rage anymore. So if you
find a guy who (albiet a little persistently) ask questions about an idea he
has, exercise some good judgement. Support their interest in the game. While
you may not like them or their ideas, they could be part of the future of this
mud. Lythlandria was not a very popular player, but he/she/it filled a role
in the mud. We need new blood into this game to keep it alive. He was one of
two newbie friends my secondary made and in discussions with him he had a
functional understanding of the game and he reacted VERY negatively when he
found out someone wanted his character killed. He probably was a teengage kid
who was a bit sensitive to critism, but he wanted to mud. I want this game
to go on for a long time, and to do so we need people to replace the bored
highbies that quit. So 'help finger' and be nicer to the newbies. Every one
that stays is a good thing for the future of our game.

can "hack" it, you shouldn't have to.

mean to newbies = Population of players in Batmud lower. I took almost a 3
year break from playing and after returning found my friends lists full of
people who have not been on in 1+ year. There used to be so many more players
around. The addition of secondaries now? That should tell you something.
Instead of whining about how you got pkilled 100x for a lot less, how about
you try not being like that towards the newer players? Just because maybe you
can take a little punishment does not mean that everyone has the same
capacity. I'm not saying shower a newbie with absolute kindness and give them
eq or anything, but why not ask them to party and teach them a few things?

Any community that has been running for a long time in solitude
with a set of (un)written rules and behaviour is always extremely
hostile to new ideas and ideology.
On the other hand, if you join a new community, you should
first learn its ways, beliefs and rules before imposing your
own agenda into it (yes, this applies to real life modern
society as well) and also try to adapt.
I myself can be a very rigid person and like old habits,
and I kind of understand people's mental reaction to his posts,
but really didn't get why he had to be attacked. People
proving that they're 'right' via violence isn't new, and I
agree with Stalgrad that's not the way to keep players in here.
