Alright I just started out on planeshift a few days ago and played merely a dozen hours before the unexpected downtime. I've had the luck to find two players in that span that would help me with technical questions. I realize that there are many things that we need to learn in game and all, but I find a lot of technical OOC information to be missing.
Skills. What do the blue and yellow line mean? Really. Because I've spent about 3 hours on the forums during downtime trying to figure it out and never found an answer in the FAQs and even the wiki. But that's a minor thing. I know you guys don't want to "spoil" IC stuff but technicalities like the interface can't be considered as nothing but OOC details, imo.
My main question is about training. I know most trainings require Trias and PPs. However, it would be the least thing, and most logical RP-wise to know the actual cost of what you are training for. I often found all my trias/PPs to be gone when training without having an actual educated guess on how it would cost. which blocks me forever because my character as of now only knows how to fight rats (parts sold <5 trias) and dig for ore (2 trias per piece) I'm not complaining cause I'm poor, but because I can't manage my finances due to lack of details when training. I tried asking NPCs and even a player but I got told [that's stuff you have got to figure out yourself].
I mean. Shouldn't NPCs tell you how much their training cost?
anyone? Surely there is technically a way, that I just haven't found yet?
Many thanks to whoever

1. Skills: Gameplay FAQ (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=21677.0) (scroll down) Should we have a longer downtime next time? ;D *runs for her life*
2. Spoilers: As far as I know only exact coordinates of places, NPC locations (including trainers), quest hints and maybe something I have forgotten, are considered spoilers. The technical stuff is OOC (out-of-character) and should not be discussed in the main tab or at least should be put in brackets like [ ]. But it is not something secret.
3. Training costs: I agree that knowing the costs would be useful, not sure why it's not the case now. You can decide how much you are ready to give out for training and put the rest in the bank.
4. About poverty: What ore are you mining? If it's iron, you can sell it to other players who craft weapons. Also you can ask me or my char Morla in-game ;)

And you might want to check out the Yliakum Visitor's Bureau. Made for the extremely new people to find OOC info fast, like, how to mine, how to make tria, and how to train. Not an official PS site, but one I made to address just those concerns. Not a replacement of the PS wiki or forums, just another means of helping, and a heck of a lot easier to say ingame [www.yliakum.com, how to mine, click it and read] than to explain over and over the OOC stuff Ingame \\o//
of course it is always looking for new members to the Bureau to help people Ingame. You can type OOC stuff all day long over and over, or type it once there, and refer people to it.
