New Players - Read This

Day 660, 17:13 Published in USA USA by James Skyrider

To my fellow eAmericans who are new to the game:

We are in a struggle right now to take back our homeland. Actually, we have been in this struggle for awhile now. At one point in this war, we were down to just one state...Florida.

One of the reasons we were not wiped off the map completely, is because Florida has a Q5 (or five star) hospital and most of our active population is living and fighting from there. Florida is the ONLY state in the eUS that has a Q5 hospital for now. Later, this may change, but for now it's the only one. Now you might ask...Why is living in a state with a Q5 hospital important? Here's why:

1. Because after you fight, you go to the hospital to heal.
2. At a Q5 hospital, you get 50 wellness back when you heal.
3. The more wellness you have, the more you can fight.
4. Obviously the more you fight, the better chance we have at getting our country back.

Important Notes: You can only use the hospital once a day and only after you fight that day. You must be at level 5 or better and your wellness must be at 40 or more in order to fight. Each fight takes away 10 wellness.

So if you haven't moved to Florida yet, do so NOW. It's one of the first things you should do to help your country. If you don't have money to buy a moving ticket, then click on the link below and send them a message and they will most likely provide you with one. They may not reply right away, so just be patient. They are busy.

The next thing you should do in order to best help your country, is to subscribe to the paper that the DoD (Department of Defense) publishes. In this paper, you will be told where to fight each day. ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS, fight where you are told to. It can't be stressed enough how important this is. If we are to succeed as a country, we need everyone cooperating.

You may think that the damage you do when you fight is insignificant and therefore you might be tempted to just fight anywhere. But trust me, your damage is not insignificant. If every citizen always fought where they were told to, then we could probably win any battle that we became involved in. One of the biggest problems with new players, and even some not so new players, is that they do not follow orders for whatever reason. Please do not add to this problem. Do what is best for your country and read and follow the DoD citizen orders. Here is the link to their paper:



At the top right of the paper, you will see a light blue subscribe button. Just click it. It is free, as are all subscriptions.

The last thing you should do is register at the eUS Forum. This is NOT the in game forum. It is a forum designed especially for eAmerican citizens. You can get help for anything you need there, plus stay as informed as possible about all that is going on in the eUS, and around the eglobe for that matter. Do not hesitate to ask a question in there, no matter how "noobish" you think the question is. Most everyone is eager to help new players understand the game better. The more informed our citizens are, the better off our country will be. Here is the link for the forum:

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message and I will promptly get back to you. Other than that, remember this: It is possible to both have fun and help your country to the best of your ability at the same time, which is what you should strive to do.
