There are definitely challenges inherent in bringing new players in to a permadeath setting, especially one where playerkilling isn't restricted for IC reasons. That's why we make an effort in our forums OOCly and in the helper chat to help guide players towards a less frustrating experience to start off with. Armageddon doesn't pull its punches, and I think sometimes despite the warnings new players don't realize that there are characters in the game (I gather dark acacia had some experiences with Templars in particular from his posts) who can and will - and indeed are almost obligated to - make your life miserable or even kill you permanently if you cross them. The world is intended to be that harsh and unfair, but only in game. Out of game there are several of us who try and help new players however we can. That's why dark acacia's comment about not being able to count on help from anyone OOCly drove me to respond here.
