I want to tell a friend about this place, but am not sure how. "There are lot's of fights, thefts, Civil Wars, etc, but wait, it is an amazing place"
Certainly someone will understand this, what do you tell people in advance before asking them to check it out?
Just tell to your friend to check out the forum, he does not need to make an account to see the threads and the discussions after some time he will create an account of his own, that was what I did I was a lurker here for some time before becoming a member.
