Okay, I really envy perma-beginners. What's it like being one? I might make one, but, I want some input first...

What's it like? I can't speak for others, but for me, it's not as "different" as non-Beginners may think. Either way, I guess I could say that I feel "free". For me, as a Perma Beginner, I'm excluded from the "rat race" of GMS that most jobbed players find themselves in. There's no huge concern for leveling, because you really gain nothing from leveling as a Beginner. No new skills, no class advances, etc. There's no need for great wealth, because as a Perma Beginner, there's very little you'll find yourself really needing. You aren't concerned with dying because--as we all know--there's no experience loss penalty for Beginners. The stats on your equips--while potentially very useful--likely won't effect you as much as it would a jobbed player. Your own stats won't matter much, either. Being a Perma Beginner, I'm carefree and simple, and being carefree and simple makes the game a lot more fun. ^_^

I have a goal, to survive a zakum run and get helmed at level 50 as a permabeginner, then I can officially quit it haha.

Well, have you ever beat a hacker team in CPQ? I feel that way when I can beat jobbed classes. It's quite fun too

It is annoying being a Beginner, and we all know why.

When im playing as my beginner, i play almost like i did when i first started, i do stuff like: Die Put AP into HP Never use any skills, just attack the crap out of stuff Die spend so much time traveling around and talking to randoms Die Actually use event items (other than maple items) Get KSed but never be able to KS them back (then defame and cc) Did i mention die? Its great fun :D
