Hello Miss or Mrs , yes , that's indeed a sad introduction towards this Great game...Some years ago you had a Mr Chapman , who pressed on many of our Hearts ,that this game is supposed and developed in a way to have fun...Alas , the Man himself is a developer and can't be all the time chaparoning the Seas…
A lot of the ones who came here before the game was even in public Alpha phase have learned that you need to give a New Pirate a chance or a bit of guidance…
Over the years ,many millions of Pirates have come to the Sea , Many of them have grown into other Multiplayer games where the "kill or be killed ,in a split second" mentality have grown into every new multiplayer franchise they come across…
That may sound sad , and to a point no reversable but i don't believe this , we have met a lot of crews who shot first and asked questions later , My Great Friend , Mr Ja4dio , who can dodge bullets like an overaged Bruce Lee , has had mulitple successes in talking their arms down...Many Alliances ,where we both got profit from eachothers efforts has resulted into Friendly and fun adventures…
Take also in accoun that this game is 2 year releashed and had known a year and a half into Alpha phase , which means that a whole lot of Pirates have become very experienced and tricky...
Alliances , can also be betrayed so don't hold it against a Pirate , after all we are Pirates and some ,if not many of us , are still after gold and Glory…
But...It isn't all poison and blackness at the Seas , try to use Looking for group where you explain what kind of players you would like to take aboard in order to guide you through the game...Oh, don't get startled , i'm not talking about a schoolalike course ,where you feel yer eyelids become heavier by the minute, no i'm talking about playing and learning style…
Also , since you are new and this is not an offense ,nor an insult , you will learn by failing and getting up again...But don't sail out alone ,in the start...Solo slooping ,means you do everything by yerself ,including holding an eye to the Horizon at all times ,which ,i admit ,isn't always easy or possible by all the things that happen in the world…
And i do want to press another thing on yer Heart , if you come across an open or Looking for Group crew ,who ridiculize you , then just leave and restart yer journey...That kind of Pirates are not worhty of 1 minute of yer presence...They are the dumb ones.
Lastly , this ...i have no knowledge into bringing motivation and Passion towards the game over to you ,as this English language is not my own language , i just hope you soon have an evening in which you meet understanding , and helping Pirates who lift your Adventure up to heights that you never experienced before in any game...
Once you have met that special feeling in this game , and the Game has , figurally , spoken to you , then you will realize that this is a very great Game … A Game that sadly can be destroyed by the mentality of some but keep searching for that crew that has a Golden Heart for others on board …
There are many of those kind...
All i can ask now is, please set aside your dissapointment and try anew , maybe launch a topic to find a great crew to play with who will or want to help you get acqainted with this game, as this game may look beautifl but arcady at the start ,but by The Sea Gods , the feelings of Joy , Laughter ,Adventure and pure Adrenaline will always exceed the dissapointments i do get like anyone else…
This game uses a persons personality and some aren't that ready to see that this game is to bring fun to others ,even in fights , they just take it all too serious and therefore deny many others to have or find the Fun that is still here to be found...
i will no longer nag around your and other Pirates ears , i just hope that my and other Pirates' words , and we do mean it well, may motivate you to have a try again in this Game...
i wish you Good Winds , Fortune and many Adventures where your mouth may hurt from laughter…
Take care.
