Haven Exposed!
Here we will examine the ups and downs (mostly downs) of the newbie city Haven
First order of buisness. The moongate, I'm wondering, will newbies actually step into that? Half probably think it's a monster and run away screaming for the guards.
Tired of walking? Get some taming and tame all the horses that are just sitting in town everywhere.
Thoses are all escorts. Most want to go to the building that they are standing next to. hey, 300 gp an escort isn't bad, I bet the newbies spend it on kindling.
Even I didn't try to do this as a newbie.
Nice prices. I bet people are buying extra accounts just so they can go buy ingots for cheap.
Also, notice the newbie who is running around in FULL ranger armor. If that's a new character, and I've played for over 2 years and still don't own a piece of ranger armor, what the hell is this world coming to!?
ELECTED to leave? WTF? I've only been here 48 hrs! I don't wanna leave this easy world! I'm just a newbie!
I can see all the newbies leaving haven and thinking everything is the same in the real world. So of course they walk outside the guard protection and get ganked by a group of orcs. Then they call a GM.
1 GP for a reg. I hope they have fun paying 11 gp for a Black Pearl...
Haven sucks, it is misleading in every possible way.
Special thanks to Dean of Shard SOL comics, you can see his page in the links section.
This wasn't much of an episode, but I wanted to point out a few of those things.
