Ive only been playing GemStone IV for about a month, can a “newbie” play Platinum?
While it is a little more difficult to be a newbie in Platinum (we have no Mentors or GameHosts to help players) it isn’t impossible. Many new players have started out in Platinum and have done quite well with a bit of persistence. The main thing to keep in mind is simply to stay in character and whisper your requests for help. Once someone acknowledges your request, then ask your questions in whispers or ask them if they have time to go to a private table in one of the many inns where you can have a “out of character” discussion without disrupting other player’s role-play. Rest assured, most everyone in Platinum will help answer your questions. As an aside, Platinum also has it’s own set of message forums where you can post messages with questions about character help or almost anything else that may be on your mind.
