Thinking about playing here... quick questions

Post by sema » Thu Jan 05, 2017 10:06 am

Kinda of fed up with the server i play on now, they just cater to the pvpers and a pve'r is a second class citizen. Hows the gameplay / community here? I looked at the maps and It looks interesting to explore ;) are there lots of fun/interesting drops? My understanding is the best house we can buy is an estate? i havent played anything past the second age so is that similar to a castle?

Hi,

not that much PVP here and it is only allowed in specific areas. Avoid those areas and no problems. Players here will generally try and help you. There is a large variety of events and quests - most scripted so you can do them anytime that suits you. GMs run quite a few events as well, but there is enough variety to occupy yourself as you feel fit without depending on others, being there at the right time etc.
Interesting drops would depend on what interests you I guess, but there is a variety of those as well. Most of the magic items are from MOB drops. Good crafting system, you can set up to 5 characters and have the ability to specialize in only craft skills if you want (that only works for craft skills, other specialisations are class specific).
Plenty of hunting areas of various difficulty. GMs occasionally try and "entertain" you at the gardens.
Good death system, get 3 bites of the ground before you death cry (on the 3rd bite). So you can decide (on 1 or 2) that discretion in the better part of valor.
The WIKI is worth a read, there are a huge number of choices to be made along the way as each class has their own abilities and play style. May take a while to figure out what is best for you. But you can swap and change around (for an in game cost).
It's a small community but a friendly one - but you don't need to join in if you don't want to. You can pretty much do as you please - long as you obey the rules. GM Skadi has a very big whip.
An estate is just a big house outside of town limits. It can be in the form of a castle, a keep or just a big house. Depends what is available at the time and the sort of location you like. You can't build your own here, they are ready constructed with a for sale sign attached. Renovations are possible.
If you want to get away from the leet PVP'ers, this is it.
Costs nothing to try it out, except your time.

we have a few slots for housing so we can own a few homes, the players are generally friendly and theyre always willing to help when you can find them online. ive been here for years and i honestly wouldnt want to be anywhere else. make sure you read the rules (when theyre updated) and feel feel to ask anyone questions.
