[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 5346777, member: 996"] Interestingly, I noticed more complete newbies showing up when Essentials was hardly even a rumor. Not sure what that means. At our Encounters table, we had two completely new and several returning (not previously having played 4e) players durring the Dark Sun season. So far in the Essentials Season we've had one new-to-4e player - and he's playing a 4e character, not an Essentials character. It's even a Fighter, whose dailies are supposed to make newbies heads explode, as I understand it. :shrug: I think the extra attention Essentials has garnered, and the statement that it's /intended/ to bring in new players, has brought in new players. The Red Box has certainly attracted the attention of lapsed players. The fact that the game is in flux due to the incompatibilities and changes in direction between 4e and Essentials, though, may just drive them away again. [/QUOTE]
