Well, I've been playing this game for eight years. While it appears as though everyone else has covered most things, I'll create a quick little list.
Things you should be weary of:
- Do not use emotes of the forums (
). It seems like new people think they're currency. - Avoid asking for administrator on servers. Administrator is a big deal and should not be taken lightly.
- Do not join "RP" servers. Just trust me...
- Stay out of the drama section of these forums. It's where happiness here goes to die.
- If this game ends up with more people after you, do not brag about having a low "BL_ID". This has gotten me in trouble before.
- Do not host a freebuild server. People will spam the hell out of it and you'll end up wanting to kill yourself.
- If a server has "rules", make sure you read them carefully. There a lot of strict administrators out there.
- Stay away from Kalphiter's New Year Party when it comes around. You're FPS will be brutally murdered.
- If a server has the words "free admin" or "spam party" in the title, STAY THE forget AWAY!
- Don't spam servers in the chat or with tons of bricks. You'll end up being banned from a lot of servers.
- There is something called the "hump bug" where your keyboard locks up and you're stuck in a humping motion. DON'T DO IT!
- Don't type in these annoying ways: "TYPING LIKE THIS IN ALL CAPS", "Typing Like This In All Upper Case", "n tiepin liok a babee".
- Just simply try not to piss people off or you will receive a long essay in response here on the forums.
- You probably won't know what i'm talking about, but don't complain about terrains being removed. They're never coming back.
- Yes, joining a lot of server requires waiting for the download of datablocks. Just be patient or you will not be able to join any servers at all.
There are couple more things I could mention, but it's late where I am and I'm tired.
Anyways, you seem like a pretty cool dude. Best of luck to you!
