    If you are being harassed by another player within the game,
    
    1. Ask the player to stop, and notify them that you wish to have no further contact with them. (It is important you ask them to stop, it is not considered harassment if you do not.)
    
    2. You may prevent any character from whispering you by adding them to your ignore list. To do so, press the F9 key.
    
    3. If the player continues to harass you after step two, take a screenshot and report the player to a Ranger. If there are no Rangers around, you may report the case to Dark Ages Support, (submit a ticket and attach the screenshot).
    
    4. Do not initiate any contact with the harassing player. It is not consider harassment if you are initiating contact. If you are requesting that a player has no further contact with you, the same rule will apply to you.

    There is a place to complain about this, you know -- KRU interactive support. The above quote comes from the FAQ.

    ( http://support.kru.com )

    I personally play a Ranger, too, so if you had a problem, you could have always come to me.

    Your reaction on this forum is nothing more than an angered rant, so really, don't try to play that "I'm not an angry customer" bit -- you're clearly trying to sabotage the game -- and seemingly only because of the actions of another player!

    Have a nice day; I'm sure the next MMO you play will bend over backwards because someone called you a meanie.

    I dont like how bashers classes can not solo "effectively" without a priest or wizard. And prizards can solo all over the place, and get like 30-100 mil exp an hour.  

    I gonna have to agree with zero, I'm basically a new player. I started several months ago (I made a warrior). I went up to level 1 to 70ish in 3 weeks. then all of a sudden the game got boring, not because  of the game. But the players, It seems that they all get "leeched" to 99 in two days and then master the next week. while im stuck here blowing snot bubbles in house macrabe or east woodlands. I basically solo'ed my way to 99 (except  for that one instance were  some  bard took me cr 30 and I  gained like 5  levels)  and I eventually mastered. It took me 4 months :(.

    getting back on topic; im a freshly mastered warrior, and i was  thinking Im gonna get more hunts. Unfortunalty getting a hunt is very time consuming it takes me 4-6 hours to get a group going, or not finding one at all. becuase they're maxed gladiators and summoners taking the priests and wizards (rogues too) that I hunted with in my pre-master days. And the  sad thing about it Is  THEY IGNORE YOU, well not completely its just that they dont respond after they ask what class i am.   Here is  a typical response:

    Me: Hi "insert name here" care for a hunt?

    Priest: hi, where? and class?

    Me: Master Warrior, cr 30 or mtg

    i get no answer 20 mins later, or i get a no thanks. One wiest I use to hunt with with was blunt about it, he said that he rather  2 man mtg with a gladiator than with me. well atleast he was honest about it. One last hang-up I had with the classes is that, there is no versitility. You dont see  2 warriors hunting with a rogue. or a monk hunting with 2 wizards. Its either find a priest and wizard (or wiest/priz) or no hunt at all. I know that its a mmo but other mmo's I played had ALOT more variety with group hunting. soloing?? if your a warrior you will be soloing atleast 5-10 mil an hour (if your unmaxed that is). whats even worse is that people can duel log on other chars  they made and leech themselves, how am i supposed to find a hunt if people can exp leech them selves, especially if the population cap is limited.  yea im complaining about it. but this is really full of crap. you have to be uber to get a hunt, even freshly mastered casters will reject you. Yea they hunt with you one day, but tommorow they wont and will not hunt with you and ask if I have Paralyze Force, LAAAMMEE. oh and it has to be 2-3 man hunts, becuase people are so caught up in getting maxed stats faster or say that its a waste of time. To me 5-10 man hunts are alot of fun, but this rarely if ever happens.. thats all i got to say about this. some would say that i should befriend more people on here. I did and its one of the three extremes

    A. they quit or dont hunt at all (Unregistered for some cases)

    B. other warriors and monks that cant find hunts either

    C. they ditched me after they reached level 80 -_-

    here is my favorite comment from the guys that play this game. "QQ if you dont like it , leave."

    fine, bye... its not like im playing it anyways. I cant find hunts!!

    any opinions on this?? maybe i'm jumping the gun on this

    A lot of players have this problem, especially warriors. This is because there's such a huge amount of warriors. Playing a priest you generally get flooded from whispers from every other class, you rarely need someone to offer you a hunt.

    A good solution to this is finding a hunting guild. Finding hunts has always been hard, and ever since I started I was in guilds with maybe 8 active members tops, most of whom were political people and already had stable hunting partners or no experience hunting at all. I picked the wrong guilds for hunting!

    Eventually I wound up forming my own guild to hunt and progress in the game in a stable fashion, trying to get everyone hooked up with hunting partners and good gear. So far we've got (in my opinion) some of the best players in the game ready to train more.

    So, yeah, my only advice would be to find a good guild >_>

    I have to semi-disagree with you. There is still heavy imbalance from pre-master up to max. People will still rather hunt with a weist or priz over a pure. It isn't until max that these imbalances go away, continuing into med paths. To go med early as a pure usually ruins your ability to do much in a party. While subclasses can usually go med early and be on par with pures. So, these new abilities don't fix anything but "end-game" -- whatever that even is.

    
    There is a slight imbalance from pre-master until max, but it only becomes most evident in solo play pre-master. (Wizards cannot effectively solo; Poison or a well placed monster spell will effectively end your hunt. Priests do not learn offensive spells strong enough to solo with pre-master effectively.)

     

    Bashers would rather still hunt with a Wizard/Priest or Priest/Wizard, true; But medenian path ensures that you have a place in hunting, if you didn't pre-master. A pure priest can hunt effectively with any wizard, especially rogue/wizards, and are ridiculous in PvP play. Pure Wizards become free EXP hunting with anyone that relies heavily on mana after summoner. Pure Warriors are a staple in just about any hunting ground; Pure rogues can still hunt billions of EXP in chaos with a good caster, and Pure Monks have been shown to be decent bashers by high HP monks like Pieydagnelle and Ishikawa.

    Regardless of your path, you will always have another pure or sub-path class that will complement your hunting perfectly.

    A vital element of the game is finding a hunting partner, or hunting community, and achieving as a whole :)

    Maxing your stats isn't required at all for Medenian Paths, and these days, it's generally encouraged to go medenian path before maxing all of your stats for just about every class.

    Despite their best efforts to make a game that would be better than DA, it's really terrible, and has no story to it at all.

    @OP: Dark Ages has now been released with free play for levels 1-99, so you can enjoy it all you want.

    If this game was alot more honest and if they made the effort to equalize the hunting capacity's of all path's and not make the wizards the only ones who can solo in the higher classes,then maybe alot of people would stay and play and pay for this game.If you look at the list of players and they're legend then you will see not much older players,only the ones who are in some guilds and have the time to hunt every day can join groups to hunt.All others can stand on the sideline being bored to death and wait in vain for a hunt.People who made an effort to become on the highest classes quit because no one will hunt with them and none of them are able to solo anything.Another major thing in this game is the word random used for rewards and drops on certain hunting grounds.Well it means that always the same people get lucky and others can hunt until they turn blue without ever getting anything. I know because i hunted canals more then 100 times and never got anything.The only reason i stay on the game is for the friends i made but then again i play another game so i can enjoy a little hunting time to time

    Gross exaggeration is evident in 90% of the posts in this thread.

    Stormbow was an abusive player who often used his friends to achieve his own means;  But I won't even get into this. Simply put, just because someone comes here trolling the game, even if they have played it, does not mean anyone's experience is going to be the same.

    Every class has the ability to solo (this coming from a person who has had a master of every class.) Figuring out how to use each class solo is a trial that not many pass. Simply put, only skilled, understanding players will be able to solo with their chosen class; Others will be left to hunt with groups.

    Randomness in boss drops is only evident in endgame runs. If you've played WoW before, you can think of it as a raid environment; You're probably going to be running a while before you get that Sulfuron Hammer you want. But the boss runs are fun and require intuition, strategy, and timing. They also reward a decent experience bonus at the end, and along the way.

    There's a reason canals boss bag drop rates are low: Canals has some of the best items in the game. Shinguards go for 220 million coins, the highest out of any item (excluding one of a kind items like the oak staff,) and is HIGHLY sought after despite costing almost 20 times more than your basic master item.
