Greetings. I have a problem, you say this game is a full based RPG, indeed it , but (here comes the but):


I have made an history for my char, very nice history with ancestors and everything, but when first playing the game i started in a stinky Human-Orc-Halfling-Elven City, i use the word stinky because i didnt even know how to move when there was lots of orcs and wird people like halflings talking to me and Role Playing whrn i didnt even kno whow to walk.

My proposal is that there must be some kind of Tutorial training, like in rune scape there are some tutors that teach you the mechanics of the game before you enter the main island. I know this isnt a game like Rune Scape off course, but you can put some NPC's on the town so they can teach you the basics, its really really hard to become and active player without anyone helping you.

For example, im Amantha Nalaga, and old elf that never goes to town, he lives deep on the shadow forests bla, bla, bla. when a band of stinky orcs destroy her family on the forests she survives. and swear o kill any orc in her way, then she goes to town ((First Login)), she stays in the town ((Trying to learn how to move around)), then she realizes that she don t have any money, after some hours around the city she learn that the unic form to get money in this world is to trade stuff, goods like Ham, Herbs, Leather, she can found all those things but she is an elf thjat loves nature and its not logicel that she become a piggy murderer. Then she is standind still without any Druid skills to look for herbs, ((She must have druid skills as the history says but she hasnt because is new to the game)), she is starving betwen apples trees but she doesnt know how to pull the apples down ((for some wird rason >.<)).

I hope you all understand that tutors are neded in order to the game to function in a logical way.

You can put NPC tutors or a "Rook" stage like in other power playing "RPG's".

Also if i make an Evil Charachter why i must start in a peace lover town?, if my char is a brave knight, why i must beg to someone for some money to buy a simple axe?, Its because you start without any money etc.

In resumen, this is a call for a LOGICAL game begining, i know is a beta version fot he game but at least you can do something more besides a simple ON-LINE manual

Because the developers made this game as a colledge project, and inorder to make something of the scale you are talking about would take a team of professionals years to make, they would need new servers and that costs more money than they have.

How to do everything in game is explained somewhere on the boards, movement obviously arrow keys, to use an item or pick apples from trees hold shift then click the tree and let go of shift.

Being solitary at the begining will not help your cause any, as I have found out ((and I think Moathia pointed this out earlier too)) it is impossible to avoid people from the beginning. You will need help from some people.

hit f1-f5 to get info on the game.

Right now i have no problem with the in game mechanics, but it was along way to learn to play. so i think newbies will find usefull some help.

Its just a sugestion, not a comply.

correct me if i am wrong, but there IS a manual on the website...i have read it and it seems helpful to me...

The system was made to avoid peopel like you want .We don't want POWER-playing here thats stupid we are a community of a RPG when you want powergaming then go to diablo or somewere.
YOu cannot say my char is bla this bla that and then the staff will do whatever you want you must think about it like "ok my char is a elf ok what does a elf "(it seems you already made that) ,ok she collects herbs then you can ask some druids because on this island there are new herbs you never heard from and you don't know how to collect them.
Then you can rp many things e.g. a char is good in something but when he should do something and his skills are not enough,but logical he should have this skills ,then you only write a "#me" and it is clear that your char can do this.
But you should as soon as possibel get this skill(without powergaming) because on long sight you can't play a char when youz don't have the skill.
I hope you understand that.

Or you can say, "I want my char to be like this..." Then choose the fitting race.
