Thanks for the info. I'll get back in game for now and see what happens.

Thanks for the speedy reply Ligh. Now I can relax lol. Cheers

I just wanna say...I've had a little break from mmorpgs (you gotta do it from time to time!) but I've been back recently, and I still think this game is total awesome sauce. I'm loving all the new updates and improvements, and there's still soooo much I haven't done. 

Hi all, I recently found Planeshift and have been playing it LOTS the past month. Firstly I have to say I love this game so much! Respect to all involved.
At first I made a Klyros huntery kind of guy, then thought maybe Enki was my thing, so I deleted my Klyros and made an Enki Warrior type char. After a little bit of that I decided Klyros was what I wanted, and 3rd time lucky I made my toon. So I have done the tutorial and early parts of the game a few times recently.

Personally, I haven't had much trouble figuring it all out. I love having to explore and talk to people to find out things. I found the 'Letter of a friend' and Jayose's Library very helpful and made it easy to find some quests and whos who in town. I most certainly never had trouble killing a One Eyed Rat, took me more like 20 seconds, not 5mins, and my char started with far less than 100 Strength (which is the req for mail armor btw). It took me some time to figure out where to mine ore and how to make a sword etc, but with a little help from others I got there eventually, and the crafting is so in depth it's very fun and rewarding and totally enjoyable.

Early on, Harnquist tells you to speak to Fholen Medra (i think). You right click Fholen and the text options are:

1.Introduction to mining.
"Hi, I'm searching for some tips on mining, can you help me?"

Fholen tells you that he used to be a gem miner near Ojaveda. He doesn't give an introductory quest like many of the other npcs, or much info on mining or Iron Ore (which is what you need at the time). This really confused me, as I was running around between Hydlaa and Ojaveda for a long time searching for Iron Ore, but like I said, in the end I figured it all out, and I got to visit Ojaveda! I haven't looked up any solutions or maps on the internet, and so far I've solved all the riddles myself.  (damn gregori has me stumped tho!)

So thats about the only constructive criticism I can think of, and a few other broken and / or repeatable quests which are probably known.

So I just thought I'd share my experiences so far as a new player, and maybe it will offer some insight, maybe not. But I'd say don't change anything guys! This game is great, and the right people will find it.
I'd say add more to the world. Outside the cities it feels kinda empty in places (but I'm a total noob so what would i know!) I only just discovered the dungeon under Laanx temple the other day lol.
But all in all, keep up the great work! As I become more experienced I'm sure I can offer better feedback and input. 

Edit: To be honest, the thing which I struggled with the most was the odd / glitchy character animations when they move. I have tried a Ylian male and I can't stand the way they run. It was enough to make me delete him. Enki run style looks kinda weird too, and all the characters kind of slide along the ground, as I've seen mentioned in another post.
 I think the models look amazing and incredibly realistic, it's just when they move.  If you're worried about people leaving 10mins in, maybe that has something to do with it.

Done...and it's all working. Thanks alot for the help. 
See you in-game!
