Vanguard: Community manager reminders on handling new players

Vanguard: Community manager reminders on handling new players - Image 1Hey, even you were a newb once. Remember how hard it was trying to get help for your first few quests, and the tirade of players that either ignored or tricked you? The situation may be the same for Vanguard‘s recent influx of once-retired players, which is why community manager Dalmarus wrote up some quick reminders for the more regular residents. More details are in the full article.

Vanguard: Comunity manager reminders on handling new players - Image 1 Have you been good to your resident newbie lately? This appear to be the latest topic of discussion by community manager Dalmarus regarding SOE‘s recent decision to reactivate cancelled accounts for their Vanguard: Saga of Heroes MMORPG.

As Dalmarus explained, this event saw an influx of once-retired players re-populating the servers. Former players who, on account of not playing for several months, are still getting used to the new stuff that they missed out on.

To this end, the Community boss sent out a reminder to all the game’s active residents to try to be patient with their kin. Quoting a segment of Dalmarus’ words of wisdom:

Take a second to ask yourselves this question and answer it honestly – How many people reading this were never confused about various things in the game such as, Using Weaknesses, Brotherhoods, The Riftway System, Item Deconstruction, Flying Mounts? Those are just naming a scant few of the multiple game mechanics that can confuse a new player. If no one had been confused by them (myself included), then I never would have posted those guides to help people out. There would have been no need.

Rather than ridiculing new players asking questions, we should be helping them.

As the community manager says, be cool to one another. Those interested in reading up the full letter will want to visit the official Vanguard forums via the source link below.
