Well I'm now level 10. I do wish there was a way to see how many quests are in a given location, since I have gone to the farmlands which was the next place after lake fortune dictated by the sword master's quest in the training hall, but haven't run into any quests npcs in that area yet.
It'd be nice if there was a "quests nearby" command or similar, particularly since this game has a lot of quests, which is obviously a good thing and as always they're fun to do.
I am also liking what I'm seeing of a lot of the little systems, such as coin collecting, indeed whilst the game doesn't have crafting, some of the armour smelting and mining looks quite interesting, though I do wish the compare command was a little more efifcient, since most of the time I used it it compared the wrong item or just plane wouldn't work.

I also want to find some wilderness, since ranging looks really interesting, but thus far I haven't found many wilderness type areas to use it in.

thanks for that explanation, that does clear things up a lot for me.

Agent is fun as well, the gadgets mean I can mix it up. Though I'm not getting on too well with ranger, but I do like swords for an agent, honestly. Still thinking if I should go dual swords, or sword and dagger if I can. Then there's gadgets, too. I love night vision since not needing torches, plus backstab is great. Just need to raise swords higher to get more damage. Mudstalkers aren't that bad, really. I've got my wrist gun for a one shot per batle hit, got my swords.

So in terms of a loanman setup, what should I go for weapon wise?

Also Varconian is fun though too, that's pretty awesome, but I do like my current setup

EDIT: Also yeah, does sword type matter like cutlass vs short sword vs bastard sword and so on?

Honestly, once people get a decentish weapon to work with, it's better to stockpile your gold for steel rather than buying armor, especially if you're a high dex setup. Just dodge and keep your risk at a safe level. once you worry about armor, you should be earning gold much faster to be able to grind out the funds needed for a suit of leather/chainmail steel armor.

@Jace, I'm finding varconian ranger works well since I can use acid up close then run away and chuck arrows >
Actually the best method I've found in combat seems to involve lots of dex, so while I bought some leather armour, it's not as much a concern, also, gold is relatively easy to come by, although obviously it takes gold to train skills, especially defensive ones. Actually, the only time I died was when I mistakenly attacked a group monster on my own, other than that combat seems nicely tactical if you plan right and don't do anything really stupid.

My one miner irritation is that ranging isn't usable in more area types. It makes sense to not be able to range in city environments, but I would've thought planes would've been okay, what with those cats etc wandering around. I also would like to know where to get metal since I am going to need more arrows, and I've found where to find wood and feathers, though the only ores I've found so far are copper and tin with those stalkers.

@Hadi, I've fixed the messages, though I do slightly miss the gory use of my arrows on targets .
having both on brief is just a bit too lacking in flavour for me, so I find having my messages on brief and others on full is the right balance, though in general I like the fact that combat here isn't all about wailing away as fast as possible.

I am tempted to create an alt, but as in most mudds I don't necessarily want to play through with an alt and not advance my main char, since at the moment advancing is still fun, indeed I generally prefer remort systems for this reason, though  as this mud seems a bit more permenant on characters I can understand why it doesn't have one of those.

@LordLondon: How do you manage being a rogue, or, what's the trick to levelling up? I'm sucking majorly at pickpocket, is there anything I can safely pickpocket without getting slaughtered by the guards that gives a nice gold/silver payout?

Can anyone write a plugin which give some shortcut to check our hp, mana, etc? like alt+h to check our hp In alter aeon etc etc. this mud seems amazing

Alright, I've taken a break from the game for now ... things are just so broken and unbalanced. Neat concepts, poorly implemented.
If bugs get fixed, balance worked on ... typos corrected and god damn can I say potentially rewrite every single description in the game   ... I will definitely have another go at it.
Seriously for a game that claim to be rp-enforced, the descriptions are truly horrendous.

Personally I'm happy typing health in this one. Combat is generally slower and more tactical, which is a major plus imho, so it's not quite as necessary to have everything super timed, or at least so I've found so far.

I also don't agree with lord Lundin, I'm loving where this one is going, particularly with the quests, unique world and systems and look forward to exploring more of the game.

Indeed, I'd definitely recommend this one to people who enjoy questing and are tired of the usual dicu style auto hack n slash.

Maybe you've got further on than I have Lord Lundin I don't know, I haven't run into any quest bugs or issues of that sort myself, and the   writing quality seems adequate enough for depicting the world. I've noticed a couple of typos, EG on one occasion my female character was referd to as "fellow" but nothing ground breaking or worse than many muds, indeed nothing that couldn't be cleared up with a simple typo report command.
then again, I freely admit in terms of mud playing I don't go through the writing with a fine tooth comb, and so long as the descriptions are atmospheric I don't mind a misplaced comma here and there.

I haven't had time to play recently as much as i'd have liked and am still level 11, but if I run into anything serious like none working quest bugs I'll mention as much, since  is the sort of thing that would irritate me, but nothing of that sort so far, indeed  mostly extremely impressed as I said.

If by "the city" you mean the main city square as opposed to the dock area you start off in, yes certainly, I'm currently in the forest and have also fought in the mountains too, though as I said if I start running into none working quests we'll see.

The best cure though for both bugs and typos is players, so hopefully the devs will introduce commands to let players report issues in the mud directly, since the sooner notified, the sooner they can be fixed.
