Killer Monkeys On The Loose (Alternate Title: Why You Are Awesome!)

So you all probably know about the newbie spawnpoint problems… we’ve got aggressive mobs and brand new players appearing in the same spot. Neverdie Studios and Mindark are working on moving the new character spawn location, and building defensive gun turrets for starter areas. The guys are working really hard to build a welcoming and engaging newbie area, but it’s still really dangerous for new characters right now.

Not to worry, though! The Next Island pioneer community has set up rescue missions to help unlucky newbies. I already knew that we have a helpful, fun crew, but this is amazing. Bemo, Rufwon, Manny, Softhart and other forum regulars have an entire thread devoted to timing and organizing rescue missions to run to dangerous areas to help new players. I also ran into Corey Greyfox, Lee DeLioncourt and others inworld, running noob rescues. These are a few names from a long, long list of experienced Entropia players volunteering to spend their playing time and their armor decay to rescue newbies from aggressive mobs.

How awesome is that? I’m so lucky to be part of this community. A gameworld bug is a temporary setback, but a caring, vibrant virtual community is long-term. Thank you, Islanders! You are awesome!
