[DISCUSSION] New Players Message

Day 4,604, 03:32 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by Sir Humphrey Appleby

What most of our new players think of their message...



Ello again all o/

Determined to get this done before the end of the term so we’ve a week-ish to iron it out…

Appreciate this isn’t particularly exciting work so will throw decent money at decent suggestions/improvements offered.

The message needs to be updated to include:-

-Advice to set up in Scotland or Y&H

-To prod the CP of the day

-To apply for the NHS

Otherwise it could do with a decent facelift to make it more engaging! Remember this is the first impression new folks get of our whacky community and it ought to be a good one…

SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT

Welcome to the game!

‘Erepublik’ is a political, military & economy based game and you’ve picked an excellent community to play it from! At least, so say most of us…

As an urgent opening tip I suggest you contact whoever is ‘Country President’; should be whoever sent you this mail. Give them a friendly hello and they should be able to give you more advice than we can fit here to set yourself up.

Another thing before you throw this away:

DO NOT IMMEDIATELY SET UP COMPANIES

We will almost always be involved in a war; even in peacetime we train with other countries! Some regions will be reserved for it whereas others gain specific benefits from the resources we’ve placed there.

A few more tips before you get started

-Try and fight exclusively in air battles; Gov will offer rank up rewards and pay £5 every kill. You will hit next to nothing in land to begin with.

-Contact the National Health Service that'll happily provide you food and advice (send a message to either Madelina de Melrose or Tinman. after you've dropped a message to the CP)

-If you don't mind a bit of a read check out http://wiki.erepublik.com/index.php/UK_Tutorial

-Don’t be shy!

Good luck; the eUK looks forward to meeting you.
