As someone who recently was a new player, I'll give my advice with whats wrong with the game.
When n0f first asked me to come here, I spent ~15 days messing around before joining LaF the next set. I got farmed to oblivion.
Give me one good reason why a new player would stick around to get farmed? None. Exactly.
People see new players as free land.
The best suggestion I can make for the game is that all new players either play in a protected server OR if they do play alliance server, they get placed in a tag and can go from there.
Yes, this is part of the plan; we need to shelter n00bs, or they don't stay
try handicap stickers, or see if you can pay them SS disability... might get them to stick around when they have no interest in doing the math. maybe teach them how to use a spreadsheet, so they don't actually have to do the math in their head. suppose we could upgrade the Western education system such that people can't get a job simply brecause they know somebody. oh, we're sorry, you actually need some skillz to get this job. it's nice that you understand the education system, but it doesn't really work like that here.
I can pretty much guarantee if people like you left the game then more people would stick around. Noobs are seen as farm land, and very few alliances take a risk on them. I have experienced this first hand. Why should a noob poke around, run a few turns, be farmed and continue playing?
On the other hand, if they got put into an alliance, say for example my own. We would get them onto the site, integrate them with a ~80 member community and help them with their country and offer tag protection.
It's not a hard thing to impliment (I don't think). And if you where a new player, what way would most likely keep you playing?
