First taste of retail

The volume of posts on the official FML forums has risen dramatically over the last week. Even experienced beta testers were getting the jitters as the launch of the game came closer. And whilst there were a few issues for some players, the servers launched pretty much on time. Lag was noticeably lower than at the launch of a beta gameworld.

Community is really important in FML, and beta testers have the opportunity to help those guys new to the game and lend the mods a hand in answering those same questions that keep coming up:

1. You have to play 10 games to get ranked
2. You don't get your full daily income allowance until you are ranked
3. No you can't cancel a bid. The reason is if you could cancel your bid, managers would put bids in to force the price up and then simply withdraw their bid.
4. It's considered bad manners not to talk to your opponent during a game. At least say gl (good luck) at the beginning and gg (good game) at the end - it's our culture
5. Yes the lobby is full of 14 year olds talking themselves up - give them a break they just don't know any better yet
6. If you have a question don't suffer in silence - type your question into the help chatroom - and many managers will be happy to help
7. Always be learning a skill - the next one doesn't start automatically

Which reminds me, I need to log in and start Finance level 3.
