Bit of an update from a previous post. Within the space of a week we have built a community of 70 active new/returnees on the supposed dead NAW region. With active vcs and support available, no gatekeep and a positive community that lost ark so sorely needs. It’s been refreshing to see these new players having fun experiencing the content they have wanted to try.

With 3 Kakul, 4 Brel, 6 kayangels, 3 thaemines teaching raids this week alone and people supporting one another it’s been an honor to experience such a stark contrast in environment.

Lost Ark needs more of this, it needs its community. (Trust me I get it, doing your gold raids alone is so much time and work) But community is what keeps a game alive. I have never seen people so energetic and positive to be progressing and learning.

There’s clearly loads of new players and even more looking to make that step from solo raids to group play at Thaemine even on the infamously dead region of NaW. We as a community should be looking to greet these people and welcome them into our communities even just take the time to point them in the direction of someone who can help.

And for those newbies/returnees who see this post. You are welcome to join this community, quit waiting around in learning lobbies for hours in pf. This is a supportive environment solely focused on helping you improve and overcome that gatekeeping wall. Send me a DM to get an invite.
