Can this week be "Be kind to n00bs week!". We did an experiment this week where each of the devs would make a new character and try to get help..and god forbid...an invite to an organization. I think the most diplomatic way of describing the outcome would be to say there were "mixed results". AO is a very complicated game...please try to remember how it felt when you first started out and try to extend some kindness to these people...Rubi-Ka is a dangerous complicated place...a little help goes a very long way.

Again and again.... server population issue.
A little help goes a very long way, but....
When most (i estimate 70%-80%) of the active players have a lvl 220 toon, and almost no legitimate leveling happening these days, being nice is something that will be soon, completly gone.
If you're level 70 on your main, you will have a fresh memory of how hard it was at the beginning... however, if you have 3 220's, 2 of them were org-pocketed all the way trough, you tend to get a arrogant attitude regarding newbs.
What i really hope for Friday with Means, each friday is:
1 - New engine release date
2 - Marketing strategy and investment plans for getting more clients.
I predict that with the rise of the server population:
1 - My complaints would suddenly vanish into thin air
2 - Less drama since now we know each other by names and alts on each server, but with more people we won't
3 - A happier Means with a better income
4 - Finally being able to check LFT for cybor partners again
cheers, and thank you for keeping us up-to-date.
