Why do you suddenly know nothing?

I understand that there are players of different nationalities in the game, with different languages. I understand that many have different interests and different concepts regarding what they are interested in.
If I were to play a game from let say China and it turned out that I loved this game, I would want to do right by it. I would look for information because I want to understand the game, its rules, and its values. But this might also have something to do with my age, maturity or interest. In modern times, there is endless help available to understand other languages. It may not always be accurate to interpret some information, but at least you get an idea and understand that there are important things to know. And in many games, especially FT, there is more information compared to other games. Personally, I believe that FT strives to provide the explanations needed for everyone to enjoy themselves. We have a forum, we have Discord, and we have settings and information with links in the game. And not only that, the game has existed for a very long time, and some players of the game have acquired information and knowledge about important parts and details. But it is up to the player to take responsibility and find out the information that is important.
Another thing I often notice when players get into trouble and eventually log in to the forum is that it is often because they do not understand the language, they do not understand the forum, and they have not read the rules. Some have even claimed that other games do not have rules and do not have the values that we have in FT.
If you look into the facts about MMO online games, nearly 80 to 90% of them have rules. Games without rules have a different anarchic system or style in themselves. So the comments that a player doesn’t know that rules exist, is NOT an explanation for later claiming that players or player was unaware of the rules.
There is an explanation that I think can clarify why this problem arises. Many people take the easy route: they download a game, start playing it, and begin to see if the game is enjoyable for them. But at the same time, they do not think about the fact that there is information and there are rules. Instead, they continue playing and believe they can do whatever they want, with the risk of making mistakes. This is no reason to assume that they have done right by themselves. This is also not a reason to log in to the forum and claim that the people who work on the game and those who created the rules have done something wrong. Again, it is the player’s responsibility, and it does not matter if you play in the USA, Russia, China, or in other games, it is always the player’s responsibility to find out if there is important information to know.
If you have just discovered the forum, and you are reading this but still know nothing despite having played the game for many years, here is the link to our rules, the game rules and the forum rules. Read them, use translation tools, understand them, understand the values in them, and do right by them. And once you have done this, you can continue reading information here on the forum. We have a lot of information that has been uploaded here over time. And you are always welcome to visit the forum if you have any other questions.
