Friend just started playing. (Improve?)

It did bring a little amusement to my life watching him try the game, definitely. However, It was also an attempt to give UN insight on things they could fix. Did they take the time to fix anything due to my post? Most likely not.

Worth it? Of course.

Train him up and what not on classic. It is nice and quiet and you can teach him almost everything there is to know about UN to him there. Then, when he gets better, give him a shot on UN again. I understand why he got bad impressions from his first visit, but for heavens sake don't make him play Era. On the other hand, it would fit UN quite nicely to have a humorous introduction for the new players to get some kind of grasp on what UN is like and try at least to fish the new players in. I love a server with a nice introduction (classic is a good example to look at, and that is ONE of the main reasons it is as successful as it is today, not to mention a million other things), and also somewhere that explains exactly just what is going on.

Point is, he got farther on the server, and lasted for a few hours! :]

Though these things he didn't learn are mentioned in certain places.

On a similar note, there's a lot I think every server can learn from these videos:
