anyone could describe the overview of the city? , it's big
I need a forge, place to sell things, etc

Anybody playing, or stil interested?
I saw three world creators on today, but aside from them, there was just myself, and one other player. So it looks like it's still in development?
I want to get back into the crafting, because it was epic.

I really want to get into it, the learn by doing skill system and the crafting system, not to mention being able to create cabins and whatnot sound really great. I hate the character creation though,  I can never be sure whether I have made the right choices for what I want or not

Just my opinion, but probably the best choice for crafting is a human.
They are bigger and stronger than other races.
But if you don't like how the character is going, you can always "surrender" the character and start over with the new one.

If you do start out as a human, you'll be in Forest Heart.
Go all east or all west, and you'll get to the city gates.
Outside those, if you follow the road, and glance to the sides, you'll see grassy plains, light forest, mountains, or heavy forest.
Start out going to the plains and light forest, but be sure and glance beforehand. Rabbits and birds are Ok, but if you see a wolf, a bear, or a boar, do not go there!
From the plains and light forest, you can start foraging, get grass and weave, get a stick or branch and whittle with a knife, etc.
You can also "fight" squirrels and foxes to build up your fighter and hunter skills.
Remember to skin and butcher the corpses because those are skills too.

Some important crafting commands are contemplate, analyze, and recall.
Try to recall the particular craft, like whittling, or stone carving.
Analyze an object to see if you can figure what it's made of and if you can make it.
Contemplate an object to see if you can get more details for how to make something.

In the city of Forest Heart, there's a street that runs all east and west through the city, and other streets go north and south from it. That's where you'll find all kinds of shops, which you initially will not have any money to buy anything.
But if you find Hero's Path, there is a library there.
Go in, "look at shelves" and then "look books." You'll learn what is available to study there.
Then sit down somewhere, and study your chosen subject.
"Study weaving" for example.
It will tell you when you've finished studying, and you can do that again, or study a different subject.
There is also an infirmary right next to the library on Hero's Path. I'd advise buying a few bandages, because they are cheap.
If you get hurt in the wilderness, you can "bandage right leg" etc., and you'll gain skills in first aid.
Hope that helps you get a start.

I certainly hope people are in the game. I'm going to try it out right now, although the permadeath sounds like bad!

too bad, so sad. I can't create a new account because I have one with my gmail, I'm to lazy to make another gmail, and i forgot my username. heh

For  mappdifficulties, what I did is look at my Mud log for a particular travel to a place, and write down the directions in a Word document.
Eventually you won't need that, and you'll know the directions by heart, plus what's on the path along the way.
Parsing is kind of tricky, but I think it's just a matter of remembering to do "look in THE sack"instead of "look in sack."

hey that's sounds fun

Well I had to use the graphical map to find my way back. I wish there was a text map or something. I had to do it line by line with nvda.

Also, i would be interested in getting back into this game if people were playing. It was pretty dead.

I created a char some momth ago and got lost and hurt very badly in the wilderness. So i absolutely dont know what to do next.

so uh, hehehe, guys? both acursed land and lament sounds good... I keep debating which one to play... help?

accursed lands is wonderful for the race selection, the chargen, and I think has actually more craftable options.
That said, Lament is overall more forgiving (no permadeath, no dying of old age), you have a easier time dealing with some stuff (when firing a bow you just fire it compared to get Arrow from quiver, load bow, target deer, fire bow), and the screenreader mode allows for a textual representation of combat styles and the Wilderness map which, in AL, I think is not implemented.
