I completely disagree have you been to somunium? You barely have to do any work when you get to main now. It sets you up for main perfectly and introduces you to the game, it gives you the taste of everything and helps you master the basics which is the thing most people attempt when there on noob. And to whoever wants to quit because of it shouldn't be playing because he obviously wants to make things harder for himself. You really need to get past sominium or however its spelt to see the benefits of it.

No offence to those game maker friends of yours but they should stick to the developer side of it. Those three major flaws aren't really flaws at all the mapping is fine it represents the worlds perfectly. The quests are not useless they give you perfect levels for everything and not make leveling such a tedious task. They teach you the basics and even more than that. And that school thing your talking about? I don't know what your on about but if your talking about oldschool reppin' it doesn't apply here because the old noob was Shit in comparison. There were little to no quests and you had to walk to these bloody ridiculous places to do anything

Thanks for your POV =)...but like I said seems to me that there was alot more players staying with the old noob...im just going by popular demand this came out from many of people saying they disliked it =\

people like to think that the grass is greener on the other side, etc

I think that new players don't give new noob a chance. You have to explore and find quest and stuff like that. Sure it has a few issues but those will be sorted out soon. Somethings could change as far as the mapping goes but have you ever stopped to look at it. IT guides you, and keeps your from straying to far away and getting lost. That is what main is for.
Go explore and learn how to play the game, and read the quest log, and chat and fish. LEARN! New players have to be open minded about it to start with. Just because they came from other game (FSO) doesn't mean that terra will be the same as that. Terraworld has ALWAYS been different and WILL ALWAYS be different . The quest give you levels, money, items ( to keep or for more money).
They maybe long in some cases but the rewards are there. The maps are created to guide and look pretty . I agree there are a few things that could change about the maps, but that is already being dealt with. It just takes time. Patience is a virtue

Terra has by far always been the best FSO ever created and no matter what happens it will remain the best.I understand what you guys are trying to get at about the island being more helpful and what not, HOWEVER shouldn't we look for more stuff that is liked by the Majority of new players and current players.
Most players *including me* loved the old noob it was simple for new players to get to know terra and was also fun for vets.The PVP base on it was awesome some would say it was better than the pvp on main.I just don't understand why something that was reviewed so highly would have been wiped completely from the game.
I mean If it was me I would try some way to implement the old noob island into the game somehow because not many new players and old players favor the island to much at all.
Regardless whether the new players have much of a personality or not is besides the point.We should work harder on making terra more fun for new players rather than just thinking about what we want ya know?
I ain't trying to be an ass or sound like an ass I just want what is best for terra, just like you guys do, I know that is what we all want.I have faith in most of our current staff members and respect them, but sometimes you guys have to look at what a majority of the new players want.Like me and Tom discussed that we need to look at what is gonna bring *new blood* to terra wrather than just the *old players*.
I am just throwing my ideas out there for them to be considered I mean I have talked to all the new players that are coming in and some of the old players and they all have agreed with me on this subject.I mean im just glad that you guys are actually reading this and posting your opinions because it helps us find out new things ALOT!!...btw <3 becky ain't seen ya in awhile lol

just for the record im to high to read all that but like old noob was cool but wasn't much to look at. Think about it.... when you were on old noob and explored and found things out for your self it was easy right? why can't you do that with new noob and enjoy the pretty colors lmao

Lol I dunno there was just that certain vibe about the old noob that made players like it so much.I guess it was the awesome pvp that it had I dunno and I dunno but I think Somnium is jinxed O_O lol.
Like I said these are just suggestions/ideas that I throw out there for you guys to ponder at for a min.Nothing big but also nothing lil I would just like to see the old noob brought back into action.We just need to *in my opinion* let it have some kinda involvement in the game.
Once again thanks for reading my suggestions just trying to help <3

I think your getting to nostalgic. Old people might've liked old noob better because they met there gaming buddies there. I know my friend and accora met the same way. It's just as easy to get off sominium as it is old noob. Apart from when you only needed 50hp and that key... But that hasn't been the way for years.

Couple rules with games... If you don't give them viable adventures they won't like the game *its too easy, im lost where do i go?*, If you don't keep them hooked they won't come back, if they don't come back they wont tell there friends.

I was partial to the old noob too, as i spent almost half my time there if not more with skaife. But as i leveled another two characters on the new noob sominium i grew a liking to it as it wasn't all grinding do this do that you progressively improve cut 100 trees get 10 levels and within those 100 trees your likely to get ~10 levels. It is much better than plonking down in a strange town without any directions... which is what happened karmiel was the most confusing place as you just wonder around a town before finding slimes that eventually kill you, there wasn't any signs to the fishing place or the mines, lumber places it was dropping a mouse in a maze with 5 different cheese locations and you cut off his nose.

Aight well like I said before just an Idea and if it is made to keep players hooked...then why exactly are they not coming back???..and before you guys start a whole paragraph about how they can't be too opened minded that is beside the point, I don't see how we are supposed to grow when we don't look at what the new players want and a majority of them say they don't like Somnium and most of them have yet to return they are on for 5-10min then gone bye bye forever taking their bad reviews with them.
