I am currently buying up all of the following resources.GlueBag Of NailUsed RopeIf you have them on you and want to sell them, or simply feel like helping the newbies get off of GateWay by donations, then all is welcome.As always i am found in PMs. I will not waste my time replying to this thread, as my intent and directions have been stated clearly and i will not repeat myself.

Im building a complete & comprehensive list of all common scenes with all current/max resources.This list will be updated daily, and will only be distributed to those that form an alliance with me and my people.Whether thats as a Merchant, Trader, Gatherer, Info Broker etc, it does not matter to me.Very few people, again, will have the required Inner Criteria to work for me and my people.If you feel that you are one of the Truly Worthy, then ask me for the google doc link in pms.If you work for me, then you report to me. If you have the dedication and willpower to do so, then you know how to find me.I look forward to rebuilding MagicDuel with the few people that TRULY have the heart and dedication for it.We answer to not one other. My people are my equals. Earn my respect working for me, and you will no longer work for me, but WITH me.Show me that you are someone worth trusting. Anyone can talk my ear off, very few can do what it takes to SHOW me they hold that Inner Fire.

If you are in the profession of helping the newbies, or you yourself are a newbie that has signed up under my referral link, then please do know this now.I have started a Discord channel that will encompass all my newbies as well as any Guardians that choose to join.Know this now though, dear Guardians. That title does not apply only to those on GateWay, and my requirements are unique and harsh.If i do not trust you, you will not become a part of this. Thats nothing personal, i simply dont have time to deal with less than certain things.If you are in the profession of helping like Nava, Mallos, Blackshade Rider, Lintara, regardless of where you stand or what you feel, if i trust your Soul you will be allowed in.If you registered under my referral link and stay active, have questions, and in general want a more streamlined support system, then pm me for the link.If you think you fit the criteria of Guardian, then please pm me for the link. If i dont reply, then i do not trust you. Take no offense and move on. I know i will.To the rest of MagicDuel, i hope you all have a great day. Enjoy, but try not to blink, for the winds of change blow harder now than ever before.

If that is your word, then i will work with what i am given Mur.This will not deter me, if anything, it only fuels my Inner Fire.Thank you for giving your perspective. Ill get back to work.

Its not like theyre busy with much else, wed simply be moving what they do to where it used to be done.As for the chained quests, i have no idea. That falls on Chewett, so id ask him.

Key words being in your opinion. And in my opinion as i would heavily agree. But we are of a different caliber. We are of a different breed. We can NOT both try to save MD, AND be picky about the players we bring in. Quality will follow quantity over time. As we all did. Give them what We once Had.

Im not saying give up on GateWay Island, it has massive potential. Im saying it cant be where they start. Or they will regret it and leave the game as soon as they click that option. Edit: Mallos made a fair point late last night. Why not have the new players start at the PC as MP3, go to GateWay as soon as they hit MP4, and then come back to the mainland once they choose to do so, in their own time, of their own free will. In this way, theyd be tested with patience, but only after having met a few in game people, having grown, having INVESTED themselves so to speak, into the game. Instead of throwing them into deep waters right from the start, watching them drown, and then blaming THEM for not being calm or knowing how to swim.

Drop the GateWay Island starting point. Move all guardians, newbies, and future players to the Paper Cabin. Here they will have access to all players aid, and all free range adventure. Give them the OPTION to either stay and learn in the PC, or leave and explore. If these things are done, i can do the rest. If they are not, i can not do much more.

Im trying to save my game, im not about to be picky with the new potential player base. I was a shit when i joined. A literal useless trouble making chaos starting fire sparking shit. And yet 1) there is no right or wrong type of player for MD. so why are we looking for such NOW??? 2) i was refined BY the game, IN the game, THROUGH its people. why cant we give Them that same chance? If we get the quantity, the quality will surely follow. Im simply finding it very difficult to help, as things currently stand with the system, because as it is GateWay Island is pushing new players faaaaar far away from MD. First day is vital. First hour key. The very first 5 mins are the lifeblood of MDs future. So why do we keep them confused and demand SO MUCH???

Drinking games Edit: Every time they hear "Soon" im assuming they take a shot xD

I have given gentle steps, tried to nurture their wisdom and patience, and yet... i repeat... confusing the new potential players and forcing them to wait 30 mins with no clear instructions as to how to get off the island is _apparantly_ not the best way to go about getting new players to stay. Ill repeat my question once more. Are we looking for new players, or VERY SPECIFIC NEW PLAYERS.

I tell them patience is key, and that this world harbors many worthwhile secrets if only they seek. Yet now by your question i have to ask. Are we looking for new players, or VERY SPECIFIC new types of players. Im simply trying to revive MD. What am i supposed to do when im not the coder, not on the island (And i dont want to be because i was booted) and theyre stuck there for 24 hours to a week before they get the chance to see mainland??? I was under the impression we were trying to revive MD. Not looking for the worlds most patient blind faith new age gamers.

The one top complaint i have been hearing for the last two days, is why does it take 30 mins to make the first item.The second top complaint, is why is it so unclear as to what to do.Im not saying i agree or disagree... im just passing on their words to those that can do something about it.Might i suggest that the Memory Stone compression be lowered to something reasonable... like 5 mins?Apparently we only add insult to injury when they stay confused for 30 mins straight and just... wonder what to do next.Edit: They feel very trapped. Most if not all of them simply want to explore the world i have painted in their minds.Might i suggest we move Azull and all the newbies to the Paper Cabin from now on?And give them the OPTION to either stay and learn, or leave and adventure?We all learn in our own way, and apparently confusing them for the first 30 mins is not KEY to player conservation.

Alright Chewy, sorry, ill keep this in mind for next time.More detail the better it seems. And i havnt heard any extra complaints from Them so, i assume all is well.
