New Player Collection Service (Not currently up and running)

[Waylander The Origional 21]

I have been thinking about what I want to do now that I "Know" the game. SO here is an idea

Many new players find things much more difficult on the coast, as do new respawnee's. My idea was to find a hatchback or some other kind of Car, then help newbies by transporting them further in-land to an area of their choice. If you think this is a good idea, give it beans. If I get enough I will re-write this with more detail and a table of proceedures.

EDIT: I have deicded to do this as soon as I fix my main computer. Virus T_T

Um i believe that is too over done because you can just be A) Ambushed Or B) The guys you just picked up could be Ambushed.

It sounds nice but Cherno /Electro / Anywhere on the coast teaches players lessons on how to survive and who to trust and how to go about scavenging this adds paranoia to the player which is something that will get you by in DayZ.

Its a good idea, but tends not to work really...

Ive done it myself a few times, taken a bus downj to the coast and drove up and down the coast road picking people up. Most people either run away or just shoot at you. It works best at night, you can tell a freshly spawned new player from miles away, just look for the panicing flashlight :P They tend to be less inclined to shoot you or run away.

I was thinking more along the lines of players asking to be picked up via PM, then I can go collect them and drive them where they need to go. Give them a leg up.

As for being shot at, I generaly have a strict "Raise your weapon at me and I shoot you" policy for dealing with strangers.

I was picked up and taken up north my my current group. I have been playing for a week and I am running about with my clans bus, a tent, a range-finder, FN FAL, M4A3 CCO, M1911, Food and water to last a week (bus) and plenty of ammo.

I gave you beans as it is a good idea but I have thought of making a safe residence for new guys and but they must help get supplies when after 2 days of living there so they will be transported to closest town (stary) and will learn the AI of the zeds and how to raid a town undetected and if things get out of hand I will kill all zeds with help of other people but when I finally got parts for the car and made a car I headed back down south where 2 mad people attacked my car with their hatchets and I decided I cannot trust new guys and sped off

I will have a friend of mine running securaty on the car. Stary is a bad place to take people, I have seen a lot of players there.
