Absolutely hilarious to me that I've been a socially awkward "old" player in Achaea since I first started playing in my twenties. And that's a year shy of a decade. Oh my
11 years and counting... Man I never thought I'd say that about a game. But @Antonius is right because I grew up in the code your own system age and if it wasnt for ACP I never would have advanced but now with Vadi and so many other scripts running around it's pretty simple if you have people who can teach.
(Blades of Valour): He just has that Synbios Swagger enough said. (Blades of Valour): Draekar says: "Synbios if sunbeams sparkle off that I'll kill you where you stand."
(Party) Halos says, "Disbar?" (Party) Draekar says, "You know here we have disbar." (Party) Draekar says, "And over there we have datbar."
Gosh, I think I gave Achaea first a try about 10 years ago I think? I was a bit young I think. I tried it a couple more times over that time period and never got passed level 20.
The map in the on site client and landmarks now has made it a lot more acessible to me (I have a terrible attention span) and now am level 45, passed out of complete novicehood(I think) and having a good time.
The other druids are great c:
I do feel completely blind in rooms that don't map though, oh god.
Been a nice 9.6 years for me. Overall Achaea seems a lot easier to be mid-tier now. Sure the higher things (top-tier combat) are harder now since arties and advanced systems. But back when I started requirements for houses were so much harder, as was doing everything else. ACP was a dream come true for us all.
I'd agree that the issue with retention is that so many people aren't interested in a game you have to actually try and have to self-motivate. Easy goals in WoW or random lolzs in League are what people seem to be enjoying now.
That being said... I'd like to see more coded hang holding for novices. Teach them about the game more with some limited interaction with players. Don't completely break the contact though because the player interaction is what makes Achaea great.
It really is interesting to see how the layout of game ages has changed from teens/early 20s to mid 20s-early 30s. But I guess like everyone else has said its because so many of us have stuck around instead of being super fresh new people.
I put 24-26 since my birthdays in less than 2 months so w/e.
(Mhaldor's Next Top Model): Melodie says, "Get rekt scrubbbbb."
(Mhaldor's Next Top Model): You say, "Scrubbbssss."
(Mhaldor's Next Top Model): Trey says, "Austere was hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride, apparently."

It's also because this generation of gamers isn't ready for hardcore RP. Moar Battlefi3ld!
