Hi, I am pretty new in this game and after watching lets plays for hours I was really exited to start my own experience. So I logged in and nobbed around. I decided to move to the landside and avoid the coast because I saw many guys went into the first village and die there for no reason. After straying around in the woods for a few hours, I managed to find a few villages and barns. I found a Colt a Shotgun and a few supplies rather easy. Also I confirmed where I am, so that I could plan my further steps. I tried to move to Balota 'cause I read that you can get supplies there easy. Somehow my Plans get messed. I broke through another border of a wood and saw a big city at the horizon. I think it was Cherno. Remembering all the Warnings in Beginner Guides I went back into the forrest and tried to move around the City. Suddenly a Guy appears in frot of me. My graphics really suck so I dot know where he came from but I can tell I nearly wet myself. The guy looked through a Binocular so he didn't see me. I hided behind a tree and said "friend" in the contact chat. Maybe this was one big mistake, but I went along alone for a long time and I thought screw it this is kind of a MMO not a Single Player Game. While I said "friend" another guy came down the hill and I thought ( maybe the last thought of my Char) "Fuck there are two of them why should they let me live?" I aimed at the first guy and asked again, "friendly?". While my finger at the trigger moved a third guy came from behind and shot me right into the head. Over and out. Subsumption: I did not fire a single shot I killed nothing but ONE Zombie. Conclusion: I really don't know if I will trust anybody in this Game anymore. A little pity is that the Bandits even didn't answer. I mean I just had two shots in my gun and there were three of them ( also I am a realy crappy shooter in this game^^) but its kinda disrespectful threating my god old pal like this. What are your experience? Did you ever meet anyone how did not shoot at you or betray you? Did you still use the chat? Did the people answer and did they lie? I'm looking forward to some answers and I would appreciate some good advices. Please forgive my english ist not my motherlanguage So long Drumbardosch
