Re: Games that already have everyone they want

Well active imms that get the newbies together can help. As well as having some more experienced players that go out of their way to befriend newbies. Personally I love interacting with newbies, the sooner I interact and start RPing them. The sooner I can start influencing them and get them on my side. Thus making myself stronger by virtue of more allies.

I think the people that exclude newbies are losing the political aspect of an RPi game. Their side stagnates while their rivals grow stronger. Although I admit I have experienced a feeling like exclusion when I was low level, but often times thats just a matter of the other players are dealing with some new epic level liche causing havoc and here I am a low level newbie that would die in one or two hits from even the fodder. That kind of exclusion is unavoidable though.
