In order to be successful in this game, one must:
- Be willing to invest time (and money) to ensure their computer is ready for it and they know how to install it and run it properly.
- Be organized and detail-oriented enough to be able to learn how to play the game correctly and avoid corrupting it.
Many people try this game and fail because they lack one or both characteristics. The mark of such people is often a poorly written, incoherent rant in which they blame the game for their own shortcomings.
If I had to guess, I'd say the fellow either has a crappy computer or he tinkered with the game to the point it became corrupted. Folks like him do not have the staying power or commitment to even follow up in their own threads, much less adequately explain the problems that they are experiencing.
To the extent that OP was legitimate, I sympathize with his frustration. However, this is how people who are not suitable for this game are weeded out. Too bad.
To the extent that OP was a troll, I have no sympathy for him whatsoever.
And if all this sounds unwelcoming, too bad again. Folks that know me here also know that I try very hard to help the people here who deserve to be helped. The prerequisites are: 1) Communicate clearly; take the time to write proper sentences; don't act childish, and 2) Look like you've done some homework and care about the game, the community, and what you are doing.
