I have no problems with the assertions that either of you have made but to paint the entire community as "sick" is a bit over the top.

You still play that?  You have my sympathies.

Tom, I'd recommend BM never affiliate itself with the Combine in any way, shape or form.  You don't want how many of those players act.  They'll befriend people OOC to gain trust just to betray them and get ahead in the game.  It's really a sick community.  They are the poster child for the "play to win" mindset.

  Painting with a pretty wide brush, do you think?  I agree that there is a lot of IC political manuevering and back-stabbing but I've never run into an OOC issue.  I've been in the Combine for about 2 1/2 years and have met a lot more nice people than bad.  Actually, the tone of your comments are worse than any I can remember in the Combine - and I've only been here for three days.  The "sick community" comment is about as ignorant a statement as I've heard on any message board.

Wow...thanks for all the replies and tips!! 

I was a bit worried that BM was in a bit of a lull and that I'd need to temper my optimism but it appears that I was premature in my evaluation.

I'll look at the continents and realms mentioned - thanks again!!

PS- I was contacted by a representative of my realm a short time ago so I'm moving forward.

The Combine has been in a constant state of development for over 13 years so I'm used to bugs.

You could simply read the material yourself: http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Mentoring

Thanks for the tip but I have read through some of the Mentor documentation and while BM is fairly complex I feel like I have a decent grasp of the game mechanics.  I've moved from my starting region to the capital and have rested, trained, and paid my troops.  I'm just not sure what I should be doing next but it appears that I should be looking for a Lord to swear an Oath to so that I can secure a source of income.  Without communication with the leaders of my realm I feel like I've gone as far as I can go.

I was thinking about creating another character and joining a different continent - any suggestions?

For now I'll just sit back and relax and see how things progress - thanks for all of the help.

Thanks for the replies.   

I did send a message to the entire realm last night so hopefully I'll hear something soon.  Or maybe I joined the wrong realm...........

Greetings all,

  I joined a few days ago and chose Atamara and the Darka realm.  I messaged the two mentors to introduce myself but have not heard back from either of them yet.  I learned of BM from a thread in the Star Wars Combine forum which is a game that requires massive amounts of patience.  What kind of pace should I expect in BM or does it depend on the particular realm that I've chosen?

  I found out about BM while playing Star Wars Combine:

http://www.swcombine.com

  Tom mentioned that BM "could find more interested players once the game has stabilized again".  Is BM not fully functional right now?  What does "stabilized again" mean?
