While I appreciate the time, effort and well meaning intentions of individuals trying to explain how to play settlers online. I do have some concerns/complaints.
I consider myself to be of average intelligence; however, for the life of me I cannot find instructions on the most basic of game plays such as how to find and adventure. Which are the easiest for new players and which are the more difficult. When I finally found some adventures, no instructions on where to click to begin.
This is not only about adventures. I am also talking about the most basic of instructions for playing the game. The use of abbreviations which is pervasive in the game. The official guides for new players are also sadly lacking in plain English. For those who get tired trying to decipher the lingo used and the difficulty in playing the game, they just leave the site, which is too bad as there appears to be many long term players exchanging pleasantries and no newbies who have the courage to ask questions on the global or guild chat lines. Also, some will say we will help you if you are having a problem and then when you ask for help you almost feel like there is an attitude in the answer.
