Vanilla Newbs; Message From EA?

[Froggy]

Hey all,


I don't usually complain at all, but here it goes.


Lately there has been an increase in vanilla newbs. I heard something about a message from EA in vanilla to get PR. Can anyone enlighten me on this?

There was a message on the main screen of BF2 advertising PR, it featured an A10 flying over Basra. People have blamed it for the recent influx of retards.

I think...

"Vanilla Newbs" will always be trying out PR and it is important that they do so to expand PR's community. At one point or anouther you where all "Vanilla Newbs" too by simply playing vBF2, but the fact is many of you after playing PR have taken on the ways of PR as you preferred them to vBF2 or w/e.

So to put it simply, if we never advertised about PR, you would most likley not be playing PR today, there would either be very few or even no players playing PR and PR would not be in the same development state it is in since many of our devs come from the PR player base, which before that they where vBF2 players, including myself.

Players are still joining the PR community, this was just one topic I read the other day about a new player and most of our new players do not post on the forums keep in mind: http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f112...ere-noobs.html


But ye, there are many "nillia noobs" or w/e you want to call them that have no interest in changing the way they play and guess what, after giving PR a go for a few hrs and deciding they dont like it, they go back to playing vBF2.


So what you guys should be doing is not dismissing new PR players who have heard about PR and giving it a try but instead encouraging them to play the way PR is meant to be played! Dont kick new players out of your squad, even if they dont have a mic providing they are willing to respond to your orders etc its fine, they will most likely get a mic in time after they have experienced how good PR is but if they come across some player who just kicks them out as they are new, what do you think they are going to think of PR and its player base? We are all meant to be top notch players here, please act like it.

Cheers.

The worst thing was I sent them a huge pack of pics from v0.85 in the email I sent them and they didn't use them or realize I had sent them it

To be totally honest with you guys, I played PR before I touched vanilla. Someone told me to download it and I did thinking it was a patch. Best mistake ever!
