New to the game.

[Odraude]

Hey all. I'm Odraude. I've been on these forums for awhile and I just discovered I can get into the PFMMO game I backed a while ago. Still downloading it at the moment, but just want to see who else plays so I'm not just playing by myself. My account is Opiyel.

Many if not most of the people hang out on the goblin works forums now.

There is a place for introductions, crowd forging , trades, and settlements etc .... anyway welcome, hopefully see you around in game here or over there.

For the fastest way to connect, check out mumble*. The player-run Pathfinder University uses the open-to-all golarion.mumble.com (port 3093, no password). There are also usually several other groups doing stuff there.

* If you're not familiar with mumble, it's kind of open-source skype-for-gamers that integrates well and can allow large groups

PFU is a good place to start, they have a good number of people around, will give you some lower level items to get you started, and can help you learn the ropes. As Cal said their Mumble channel on Golarion is a good place to hang out, their tends to always be at least one person hanging around to help out.

The big key is don't be afraid to interact with the community, the game is at it's best when your working with others.

Welcome !!

What everyone said.

- join a settlement, if you do not already have friends in game PFU is a good place to start. However do not join the instant someone in game tries to recruit you. Do a little bit of homework on the settlements first.
- go to the GW forums. This forum is now mainly inhabited by people who do not play (in some cases have never played) and just want to criticize the game and the people who do play.
- if you have issues in game just post in general chat (help chat is rarely used except by GMs)

[Doc Foxglove, PFU]

Hi and welcome.
I see you've already met some important folks in the community and their advice is good! But I'll repeat once more to hammer the point home:

-get on mumble. The golarion mumble first, but the largest groups also run their own mumble/teamspeak servers. Unfortunately many new players don't get how useful this is and run around alone with the same questions instead of teaming up and sharing.

-get on GW forums. New player subforum (and settlement subforums) for introductions, but don't be afraid of the other subforums.

-simply say hi in general chat. There are a lot of nice players willing to help out new people (even if they are fighting on opposite sides of a war).

Actually, there's nothing wrong with joining a company immediately, as long as you think of it as taking a car for a rest drive. There will be some pressure to stay once the salesman gets you in the car, but it's your choice. And there's no better way to find out if you like the way it handles.

I agree with Neadenil, many companies will try and recruit you. Make sure to find the right fit !

Not sure how far you've gotten. Hopefully, you're already in PFU and feeling your way around. If you need any help feel free to whisper me, Elsworth Sugarfoot, ingame.
