This game is dying!

Last night, poking around Atlas Park with my ice defender, I came across a character standing in front of one of the TO vendors near Ms Liberty. Curious as I always am, I clicked on the level 5 tank, checked Info, and saw he had zero badges. I sent him a tell asking if he wanted a partner for a bit, he invited me, and off we went as he started The Hollows arc.

Long story short, he only started the game on Saturday, had rolled and deleted a blaster, and was loving both his tank and the game. (He was also sporting the timecard Goldbricker jetpack.) It was fun to help a new player learn the game, and see that we're still pulling in new blood after six years.

I hope he's on again tonight.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

What exactly does this prove one way or another?

The thread title was tongue-in-cheek, Slashman. This was meant to be a feel-good thread, I believe.

It proves there has been at least one new player this week.

In 8000 years, we'll have as many players as WoW.

Well, I helped someone new earlier in the week myself. And I've seen a half-dozen 'I'm new, what do I do?' threads on this forum this week, too. So I guess it'll only take us 1000 years to catch WoW.

Misleading thread title, thus failing to deliver.

It was fun though!


















just kidding, it wasn't me.

I came across a new person last night in Atlas as well.

Checked and saw they had no badges at all.

So I sent a blind trade request (haha), they accepted.

Without really checking my character, I just proceeded to hit the 1 key and then six zeros. Figured it would be nice to let them start out with a million influence.

That prompted a ten minute conversation with them about the game, what to expect, the people etc etc etc.
I asked them to let me add them to my friends list *yes I know I don't need their permission, but I was being nice* and told them that I would keep checking in on them as they progressed. Told them to don't hesitate to call on me if they need help or have a question.

After I was done I went on my merry way with my lowbie alt and realized that I had given away the only million influence I had on that character haha.

Was fun!

I remember the old days when random 50s would driveby gift lvl 50 SOs and such. It made me realize that this was no ordinary MMO community. So I've taken to emailing random lowbies all kinds of stuff like millions of influence/infamy, lvl 50 generic recipes, even an occasional unique or KB IO- it sounds nuts but it makes me feel like I'm helping to continue that feeling that we are unique among MMO communities.

I would say a level 50 common recipe is probably the best thing we can now drop on the new lowbies in Atlas Park since it can sell anywhere for what will seem like quite a bit to them.

I have a Santa outfit for those deliveries.
