Now this morning Wrath of Achilles [ Dominium ex Malus - Descendz0r] has completely massed out his hard work of his entire playing time. A simple look at his ID would have revealed that he is very new, his small army size and being in 'Torchwood' an alliance for new players to learn the game and build should have reinforced that.
A simple message to a new player would have corrected the whole thing. He would know then to avoid this alliance and could possibly arrange reparations when he gets market status from his 1001 GnR which he was working so hard to get. Instead he will next log into his account and may very well leave the game.
I expect to be massed by this Wrath of Achilles [ Dominium ex Malus - Descendz0r] as well as I have dared to send a message to them pointing this out but then again, is it any wonder new players give up when this happens?
Instead of posting long topics on the forums you could have used your time better in telling the guy who he should or shouldn't hit.
I remember when I started, my long time mentor gave me a break up of the ingame politics and let me decide for myself who I can hit and which hits are to be avoided no matter how tasty they look at first. It served me well, as I had a time of relative peace in that I could built up, get SS and my first ascensions done.

it doesnt take you long in this game to realise the people you can and cannot hit, if you have been playing for two weeks and dont know then you havent been paying enough attention !! i quickly found out and just got on with it, no point going on about it, pick yourself up, learn form it and move on !!!!

Well since ur buddy doesnt have "Supporter Status" -
have him add me to msn -
ibac224@hotmail.comIf anything i can send him direct some resources to get back to where he was - and continue on -
granted in this game communication is key,
you might want to inform him of proper targets to farm - as to me most farms have little or no defense and also have no alliance ties - so things like this dont happen - lol.

Much as Id like to go on 'bullying empire' rant, truth is most of us have massed a noob at some point cause they hit us, or hit our allies, or just having a bad day. It happens, it's bad and maybe disheartening for the noob in question, but frankly there are far worse things wrong with the game likely to drive out new players. And if this guy is in Torchwood a new player training alliance, then the training & guidance is seriously lacking if it dont cover which alliances are likely to retaliate over minor things like raiding or naq hits.

I used to get massed when I first started everytime I reached 1 mill or 3 mil size. This was over 3 years ago.
