Re: New player struggling
Dear Dogscoff,
Seems like a good idea, I will just try and remember where PBW is and how you join and I'll see if I can manage it.
Andy
Andy, just set up a game on PBW and advertise it as "newbies only". I'll join (I've been on the forums and playing AI since SE4 first came out but I'm a relative newbie to multiplayer.)
An all UK / GMT only game might be a good laugh.[/quote]

Re: New player struggling
Growltigga,
I make a good ally, as I would rather remain loyal to my allies, and see how far I can progress rather than constantly stabbing people in the back.
I am going to try Mr Dogs newbies game if I can work out how to join,
If I can get the hang of it i'll come and be your ally. Though if you are that desperate I would imagine you are already dead by the time you read this!
Andy
Andy, I note you havn't joined in with the macho posing testosterone fuelled aggro crowd in the Galactic Bar & Grill and Phong's Head Cantina
Why dont you ask to join the game, the game leader is a chap called Mephisto and I am sure he will let you in
(PS I could do with an ally, my life expectancy on this game is about the same as a chocolate eclair left unattended in a health spa)[/quote]

Re: New player struggling
You probably need to create an account first. Otherwise there is no way to tell which games you're in.

Re: New player struggling
Andy:
1- go to http://seiv.pbw.cc/
2- Select graphics or text, according to your preference and your browser.
3- From here you'll have to find a "create account" button. In graphics mode, you'll probably find that its one of the SEIV icons along the top. (They're not just there for decoration=-)
Sorry I can't be more specific, but my browser logs me in automatically whenever I go to the site, so the "new account" controls aren't displayed to me.
It's pretty straightforward, all you need to give is a valid email address. It won't get spammed.
Once you have an account and are logged in, you can create new games or join existing ones quite easily.

The button is labeled "Register" in both UIs, in the style of the buttons on the game's intro screen.

Re: New player struggling
Dear all,
OK I am now set up on PBW as "Fist ofDeath" I know the character spacing is quite poor. I always liked that phrase from Alice in the Dilbert cartoons "Must control the fist of death!"
2 questions
1) I have registered with my work email address, so I got the password straight away and logged in. Do I have to use this email address? If so I will need to register again with home email address.
2) What is the name of the newby game? or any new newby games just opened up??

Re: New player struggling
To view descriptions of existing games, click the "attack" button. You can then go through existing games and find a newbie one. If you don't find one that suits, create your own.

Re: New player struggling
Hi Andy, welcome aboard!
As for your 1st question, you can easily modify your email address in the "My Options" menu.
I've done just like you, register from work and play from home !
However PBW doesn't handle multiple email address for one account, or so it seems.
