Wtf is up with that Game
We have a Pretty Active Player in our gal. Hes new to PA but he is around every Night fly Attacks offer Def trying hard to be sucessful in that Game. But his Problem is : He dont have an Alliance.
For that he get incs and incs and incs and no one can cover that. The Active Players in our gal tryed to get him in his alliances or another decent alliance but ....
ITS IMPOSSIBLE
He dont know anyone because hes new. This means he dont get in a good alliance. This means hes not sucessfull because you can not be sucessful in PA without Backup.
Everyone complain about the lost of Players but when you dont let new Players in the Alliances and being part of that game it wont become better. How to attract a noob who really want to play this Game serious when he ever get roidet ?
The big alliances should think about open Wings for noobs and seeing who is active and let this ones in the Allies. Pa is freaking hard for a real newbie

Re: Wtf is up with that Game
Several big alliances have wings for newbies. Also several very respectable alliances will take any newbie who seems active and displays an interest in learning the game.

Re: Wtf is up with that Game
How many alliances has he tried getting into? Standards ain't as tough as they used to be in some cases, seeing as the applicant pool is so much smaller...

Re: Wtf is up with that Game
Check out AR, there are a fair few decent alliances on there that will take in new players with no vouches. From there he can slowly prove himself and then move onto a bigger alliance if he wishes to do so.

Re: Wtf is up with that Game
First of all, noone jumps straight into top 10 alliance without a single vouch(except for newdawn perhaps, dunno about vader's guidelines there). It's not like Eclipse or FAnG would take new players unless they had some serious vouches. There are many alliance accepting new players, alliances that are able to back up their members. My first alliance was G-II, they were never king size, but they had a good organisation and were able to defend well. I loved it there, made some good connections that i still enjoy. Also, if you, as his galmates, thinks his an active and descent player, you should be able to fix him up, place some vouches etc yourself.

Atleast for Eclipse i can say it shows how much you know about us.
We use a vouch system, thats true, however there are exceptions for galm8s who are new to the game and dont know many ppl. On the otherhand for this exceptions we require active and dedicated players (the eclipse galm8 will vouch) and no hostile record.
Kthxbye

While this is true to an extent, recruitment is generally far more open than in the olden days of PA. It's no longer a case of who you know over what you know, as a combination of more alliances vying for the top spot and fewer players left overall have resulted in a 'talent vacuum' for large alliance recruitment staff. As such, you'll find its alot easier to join than the alliances themselves will have you think.
My advice would be to aim for one of the mid-range alliances known for more lax recruitment (VGN, WP, ND, Seraphim). Hang around in the public channels. Get to know their members. I've seen occasions of certain alliance members begging for def in the public channel too, so if you want to prove your generousity keep an eye open. I'm pretty sure you can get a vouch or two in only a few days.
