Hi,
I joined
EU three days ago. So my experience is quite fresh and really DIFFERENT from yours.
first - I was given some advices by Emma and the other guy, but no one told me, where to go and what to do, so first two hours I was aimlessly wondering around PA and surrounding areas just staring at newly discovered world without any idea what is going on aroud me.
second - I wasn't given any items, even now after three days (about 15 hours of playing) nobody has given me anything including my mentor (who is really good I think, giving me a lot of her time and many many important advices)
third - I was farmed the second day. I found my mentor on
EF, then we met ingame. While talking about me becoming her disciple, mentor dialog appeared and I, thinking it is her, accepted. Really funny - it was some motherfu*CENSORED* walking around who just saw noob talking with obviously experienced player and farmed me. Then gone not answering PM.
so you can see now, that being a real noob can be actually much more stressing ... but well ... exciting too
The very first day I made it to Nea's place, because someone adviced me that's a good place for sweating. Can you imagine what an adventure was that getting there the first day of playing?
I will never forget that journey. I met some other noob in wilderness and, in the middle of jurassic-like monsters with no weapons or armor, we united immediately. Fortunately he had FAP at least, so we ran together for a while, trying to avoid bandits and other mob. I made it to Nea's in the end, while he was stuck at some revival station not be able to get through monsters.
He sent me message another day that finally he made it too :-)
so, it can be hard being a noob, but you can have adventures, that are probably no likely to happen when you are experineced
