New Player- Have some questions
Hello all, obviously I'm new and just have a few questions before I make my character:
1. Which race is the best to start on and what exactly are the strengths and weaknesses of each race, generally? I know there are descriptions in the manual, but without actually playing the game myself yet I don't really understand them. 2. I can't seem to download the client properly. I have Mac OS X 10.6.3. Every time I try to open the Jexpressinstaller icon, it gives me these ".log" files that don't do anything and say "Unable to find JRE 1.4.1 on your system." In any case, the web client appears to work fine. 3. How do you pronounce the name? Why-vern? Way-vern? |

1. Go start with a dwarf, they're really cool first characters.
2. Have you tried the pure java version? |

Alright, I may start out with a dwarf then. And thanks, the Java client seems to work fine .

Thanks . I was also wondering couple other things:
4. How much do you need to trade with other players to survive in the game? I only ask because the game's population seems rather sparse right now and I'm worried about having to find people to buy stuff from. 5. I'm usually more of a loner in MMOs. I don't like to join playergroups or anything because then you've gotta set times and appointments when you're going to play. Can you survive without assistance from other players? Of course, there's obviously some things you won't be able to do alone, but I'm speaking generally. The whole thing about teaming for quests being nearly forbidden makes it sound like there's stuff you can do without teaming. (For the record, I do still like MMOs because the option of playing cooperatively or competitively is still there. I will do things with other players, I just don't like making commitments in case something comes up.) 6. Anything in particular I should now about in-game rules and stuff? I'm having trouble finding a definitive code of conduct, and finding a lot of rather vague rules in the manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! EDIT: Oh yeah, one more thing... what does "stealing kills" mean? Is that just killing someone's monster right before they do? Last edited by Zarnium : 06-05-2010 at 11:49 PM. |

4. You don't necessarily need to buy items from other players to survive, although it does help save gold and perhaps also save you the trouble of looking for said items in shops. Also, if you farm decently (The merchant skill helps with this) you can actually buy all the items you want in shops.
5. One can survive alone, without the help of another player, but this requires good preparation and plenty of resistances/scrolls/potions as well as knowledge of the area you plan on farming/training in. On a side note, there are some key skills that a newer player can get that help quite a bit in the long run. Plus, with the untrainer, you can ditch the skills later on if you wish to. Some of these skills are: Merchant (increase gold from sales, and decrease cost of purchases), Spirit Travel (decreases exp lost upon death), Healing (it... well... increases hp regeneration rate), Meditation (increases mp[sp] regeneration rate, good for mana shield users and casters). |

Basically use common sense. Don't share quest information with anyone, don't bypass the filter in any way, including using characters or implying things that you mean. Don't harass people. Report bugs immediately and don't abuse them.
