Forums: Intimidating Visitors

Fellow Survivors (badge) of the old Vanilla Forums: It appears we are at a cross-roads in embracing newbies looking into ashes of creation. I suggest all the badges and posts are intimidating to those looking for a fresh game. So let's invite folks in when window shopping? I don't see a lot of new blood logging in as guests - how can we change that? It's a rhetorical question worth exploring for the longevity of AOC - You think? Hugs Skaff.

    I don't think people are being intimidated. I think that there hasn't been anything to draw in any sizable number of new players for a while or get the majority of people who are part of the community but are waiting for something playable to engage with the rest of the community.

    It would be nice if new visitors read about the project before making an account and posting incorrect information or asking obvious questions.

    Also, Ashes has open world PVP which discourages some RPers and corruption for unwanted PVP which discourages some PVPers.

    Ashes doesn't cater to all gamers, nor should it.

    If you feel intimidated, make sure to poke someone who seems helpful and get settled in.

    Nobody should feel intimidated on the forums

    I don't think forum badges are intimidating to new people. I think forums are usually the first place new people go for information and may lurk until they are comfortable.
    There just hasn't been much going on for several months, so, I think people will trickle back as a steady flow of info pour outs.

    I like having badges that separate those that have invested in the community and those that show up for a bit due to hype and they go ghost like until the next wave of hype hits.

    I think everyone should be invited and welcomed, I also think those who invest in the community should be shown some love by the developers too.
