Is there something you can do with the skills long term?

[Harovan]

Craft and sell items with better stats than in the stores. This I already can do, see my backpacks. Whether they will be on par with quested items or not, time will show.

I have my barbarian brawler up to level 12 now. I actually started a new character- a dark elf female priest. She's only level 4. I really shouldn't get into her until I'm done with my other character. but I wanted to create her at least.

Here's the deal. I have low Ram as I mentioned. I can play the game if I stay in one area, for many, many hours. The problem arises when I change areas often (usually 4 times will really start to bog me down). So I'm kind of in a bind. I've been killing things in those fields outside the city gates of north and south Qeynos (can't remember the name of it). Though I'm still a fairly low level. some of those things are tough. Although I prefer to do quests. As they break up the monotony of killing things repeatedly. But too many quests require you to change areas too often. So I guess for now, I'll continue in that large outdoor area (and the area is huge- so I don't have to leave often) for a while. I hope they patch this problem soon.

I actually was in a couple of parties yesterday. But I die more when I party . Non one backed me up. They said: Okay who's going to draw them out? And since I was a barbarian I said "I will". So I went and taunted them. And then no one backed me up. I died . I never die when I'm going solo. Actually I take that back. I accidently double clicked a guard near one of those watchtowers (he had a red profile on him- I wanted to talk to him not attack him!). I thought he was a friendly. I didn't expect him to attack me.

I am level 15

I am tyhinking about starting some new characters

(A halfelf who will become a shadowknight, an Ogre who will become a paladin, and something else, probably a coercer)

[Jon Miller]

the shadowknight might be a high elf or human or erudite instead

I really thought about getting this, as no way has transpired yet for me to play WoW. However, in the end (due to large improvements made) I went back to see the new higher level content in City of Heroes.

I still may look at this later though. What server is everyone on?

[Harovan]

I am at Lucan D`Lere. As far as I understand, Dissident and JM are too. Got my dwarf to 17 crusader / 14 outfitter today in the scary halls of Stormhold, and got myself guilded. The mystery of the early seen horses has been solved too: Paladins get a simple horse for free at level 20. I will too, looking forward to this.

[Dis]

damn, maybe I should have chose Paladin.

some of those prices seem so outrageous. I have yet to accumulate a single gold piece yet . The most I've had is about 78 silver.

Antonica as a whole is a masterpiece with many many great spots to hunt. You will enjoy it.

That is normal, unfortunately. I experience the same. When you solo, you can very well evaluate what you pull and if you're able to best it. If you get add, you still can run. In a group, especially in a dungeon, it happens often, that the puller gets more than the group can chew.

So far I never got out of Blackburrow without an XP debt. Today it wasn't me who died (the whole group gets penaltized for the death of a member), but I got it nonetheless. For some reason, I got out of Stormhold without a debt, although Stormhold is much harder than Blackburrow. Great group, that's why.

Non one backed me up. They said: Okay who's going to draw them out? And since I was a barbarian I said "I will". So I went and taunted them. And then no one backed me up. I died .

Bad group. That simple.

I accidently double clicked a guard near one of those watchtowers (he had a red profile on him- I wanted to talk to him not attack him!). I thought he was a friendly. I didn't expect him to attack me.

Wow, I didn't even know you can attack these.

[Dis]

I assume he was a guard. He was in Antonica standing next to one of those towers in the hills north east of the bridge to north qeynos.

the paladin horses are just for looks, they don't really do anything

so am I the only one playing evil?

the dark elf female priest of mine is evil. But I just started. I haven't arrived in Freeport yet.

I did play an evil barbarian when I was trying out this game at my brother's house. I did get him to Freeport.

One cool thing about Freeport is the NPC's say cooler things . None of this dorky good-two-shoes stuff that the citiizens of Qeynos say.

Haven't seen that in a MMORPG before. It seems quite harsh. I regularly group with players who get killed from doing something silly, and I don't want to be penalised for it.

[Harovan]

Update: Crusader 18 / Outfitter 15. Made me some 7-spot boxes for the bank account. And - lo and behold - made it out of Blackburrow for the first time without XP debt, even after about 2 hours diviners camping and fighting with the group.

[Jon Miller]

I will probably play some tomorrow
