' Wrote:Never publicly own a Zoner character.
Unless you like being hated and shot at, and hated, and being discriminated about, and hated.
' Wrote:Do not buy a capital ship.
Reason for this: To many caps hanging around, we call it capspam, and the pilots are capwhores. It's a pain seeing more caps than snubcraft (Fighters etc) and it's unrealistic.
' Wrote:Join an official faction.
Not always a good idea, I've been here 2 years, and only joined my first official faction a couple of weeks ago. I assure you, they're over-rated. Yeah, they're fun, and they have their own communities, and the Skype chats are normally funny, but they can limit alot of what you wanna do, so dont go jumping at an official faction 'till you're sure it's what you wanna do.
' Wrote:Always post in agreement.
NO U!!
In all seriousness though, going with the crowd's all well and good if you wanna get accepted, but you just blend in as 'another player' most of the time. Constructive, and well-written posts about your views (Agreeing or disagreeing) on the thread's topic are more likely to get you accepted than just going 'Yeah, nice'
Anyways, welcome, as everyone says, read the rules, (Including 0.0 "Be excellent to each other" or summin like that), have fun while you're here, and most importantly, just remember it's only a game. A few people take things a bit to seriously.
(Oh, and get Skype if you haven't already got it, most players spend more time on there than in game...)
