Just another quick update firstly @ Warghoul thanks !

I can officially say now that even after just a few days and despite my earlir problems getting the running, I am totally hooked on this game , I hav'nt had as much fun in a game since the early days of EQ.

First and foremost this game makes you think and sometimes think really fast ! Just avoiding being killed is a whole game of Stealth in itself and yeah and can get a little frustrating when you get Ganked for the hundreth time. It does all soon slot into place and as each Goblin is killed in the early stages your stats are rising and your becoming better at the game without even realizing it !

I took my first revenge on some one that had ganked me a few times this morning .. " And oohhh hw sweet it was getting revenge ! and I even did it with an Arrow in the back , I was delighted when I was looting the Gravestone and getting a little of the huge amount of gold that I had lost to this person back.. but it is hard to explain how satisfying it is really.

This game is really something special and I for one am going to be playing it for along time to come, Its awesome, Ok it does have some issues as do all Mmo's but the speed at which they are sorting the problems out are commendable to AV.

I would finish by imploring anyone who is having doubts about this game to give it a go and dont be put by negativity from people on these or any other forums that hav'nt even played it , the game is brilliant and is what gamers/mmo players have been screaming out for. You can be or do almost anything you want .

To finish I was I must admit a little skeptical after reading some of the negative stuff on this forum , I'm sooo glad I trusted my instincts and took the plunge ... love it , Now I must go and get the final Gold I need so I can get the Bowyer Skill to make my own Arrows !

tally ho !

I'm glad your enjoying the game.

I do have a question though, Besides getting your revenge and killing Goblins what else is there to do? Or More specific what else have you done?

I am interested in the game, however, all I read about is city sieging, ganking, and killing goblins. I know they have crafting, but, what else is there for a mmorpg player?

Will I be able to set up a store and be just a merchant? Can I start trade caravans between the different races because certain resources can only be found in certain racial areas? Are there good dungeon crawls? Are there skills to be a thief or rogue? Can I start a fishing vessel and sell my catch from the dock?

Any insight would be welcomed.

Around lvl19-20 you will start to see the other faction. at lvl 25 you can go to the abyss, in there its all PvPvE.

While in the Abyss if your 25 can you be killed by higher levels? or does it scale to your level?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Crushbone is a very helthy server, I just started on that server a little over a week ago, and I find plenty of low level players. Now mind you that most don't group up till at least the mid teens.

In the mean time if you would like to get some good gear from questing, you could go to Timorous Deep, which is a neutral area and do the quests there.

Also check out this link. They just started a new guild and are all in there mid teens to early 20's and looking for more to group with.
