I want to go to different towns but when I ventured out a bit there was no signposts to tell me where 2 go. My sis then when on with her user and spent an hour looking for a town with no luck and ending her session in the middle of nowhere. To make it more easier for us newbies let us buy a map of the section of plane shift we're in. So that we can see where 2 mine and things. It would make it look more appealing. :(

In the future you'll be able to make your own maps, but you can't get any ingame now, or ever really. There won't be a world map on the website like in all those other games, you either make one or just wander around aimlessly.

What! How do I know where 2 go then?! :o

Talk to people :} Every character starts in a town with other people. If you need directions, ask someone - or if no one is around, explore. If you are lost in the wilderness with really no clue as to what to do, use the /die command - it'll take you to the Death Realm (which requires finding its own exit, but it's a small area) and then you will respawn back in the town you started in.
In the future characters will make their own maps that they can share with others - whether give away or sell. All wilderness maps have roads, however - find one and stick to it, and you should be okay.

Oh, ok but im also having trouble talking to the NPCs. What do i have to say to make them give me a job and info beyon "hi want 2 buy somthing"!
-
Well, try to avoid using numbers for words first ;)
Quests can be obtained by asking them "Do you have a job for me?" or saying "Give me a quest." Not all NPCs have quests, but there are over 30 available at this time so you are bound to get one after some poking. The stickied Getting Started In-Game (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21480.0) has a section on quests and includes several phrases that NPCs are known to respond to.

Did you bother to ask for help from other players?
-

-
A few days and you will know your way around Yliakum is big but not big enough not to learn your way around quickly
-

At one point you used to be able to walk up to an npc and say "Where am I?" they would respond with "Hydlaa? You're in it! A bit lost..." or something to the effect.
