I think part of the reason there is a "limited pool" of players is the whole "hardcore" mentality people have. Having a convoluted interface, or needlessly going out of your way to make the controls awkward or un-userfriendly, or forcing new players to go through a set grind does not make the game more hardcore. I'm not saying the interface is over the top complicated, its just different to most games...

Join a clan and find a role to play. There's no point just running around and fighting mobs. You need a goal to succeed.

Not saying you wont like the game, and not saying you wont try again and stick with it but this is not a game you can pick up for 2-3...

Sorry it is hard to explain. But you have to explore the world...make your own goals there is no "How to Play DF". The Main Goal is to have fun with what you do ingame and you have to spend some time to have really fun in this game.

You forked over 50 bucks for a game, yet you run it like your hardware has cost about the same...are you playing on a 10 inch screen or something? Up your resolution to at least 1280x1024 and the interface will be nicely proportional. Seriously 1024x768...no shit you get a headache after 10 mins of play..
