New Guy Here (Hello)

[Gigabein]

You need to register a Sony Station account. That requires a credit card number among other things I believe.

Don't listen to what the guy said about ground vehicles being a bad idea... they all fill their nitches well and are very fun. If you do get any vehicle cert, definitely get the basic Engineering cert so you can retreat and repair your ride.

I would suggest trying out everything (not just in VR training). Get a grasp of how all the various jobs and roles work out on the battle field, and stick with the ones that are fun and work well together.

You should also check out the empire propaganda sites if you have some time to surf. They're a fun read and fill you in on some game history. The TR seem to have the best portrayal of the history and the VS give the best account of the current situation on Auraxis IMO.

What server do most of you play on? I was just wondering, because when my 6 hour update ends , I would like to be able to play with you guys so you can show me the ropes.

[shaizan]

The folks here play all over on all three servers. When you get loaded up you will see Markov (U.S. West), Emerald (U.S. East), and Werner (Europe). My reccomendation (and I'd wager most other folks) is pick the one closest to you. This will minimize your ping and improve your experience. Unless you had friends tha played on a server, but you don't as yet. So, go with the closest, choose <plug> Vanu Soverignty </plug> as your chosen empire and go to it.

Oh, yes do ensure you visit the VR traiing and get the exp from it to start.

I think most play on Emerald primarily, although many of us play both Emerald and Markov. The bad part about wanting somebody from here to show you the ropes is that most of us on here are only on the site because we're hiding from work at our jobs, and can't play right now.

[shaizan]

Madcow is correct, I'm hiding from responsiblity as we speak!

[Cloaked_Thunder]

HAHA i am hiding too! LOL I cant play rt now cause im at work. I play from 5:30 pm EST till midnight or so most everyday. I try to split my time between characters each day. If ya need ne help and u play NC on markov or TR on emerald send me a tell (type in the chat box --> /t mynamegoeshere) or u might consider it a private message. I can hook u up with my TR outfit, (shameless plug )muerte Rojo, if ya fancy the TR.

[Bipolar_God]

Ok, well my update went quicker than expected...it finished in like 15 min . I chose the NC on Emerald, since I am on the east coast. I really do not have a powerful computer, but it still runs absolutely great. I always hear about everyone saying that it lags a lot and its slow, but its seems to be fine for me.

Oh yea, my name on there is BipolarG0d. The second "o" is a zero.

[Cloaked_Thunder]

just w8 for your first zerg before u say it runs great....... If ur in the sanc @ 100 FPS when u get in a zerg it'll drop to 20 FPS in .2 secs.

[MuNsTeR]

good luck, join markov NC and join my outfit

[Professor Frink]

If you go VS get the Unimax right away. If you join the NC get Heavy Assault. If you go TR... well just don't go TR.

[Indecisive]

If you havent bought CC yet, dont. Its the biggest piece of shit out there.

30 bucks for 3 weapons and 3 vehicles that you cant even use all the time.....not worth it.
