 I agree with what DaveG said. We don\'t want to make this a farming game, just a roleplaying adventure game where some farming is allowed.

Perhaps, I suppose it depends on what your goals are.  Personally, I think that greater roleplaying would be achieved by allowing the player more options as to how they approach the game.  In almost every MMORPG, it is like a level grinding treadmill where everyone has the same goal and you go out and kill or quest to attain that goal.  Though there are ways to address this in terms of changing \"quest and kill\" gameplay, it would be nice if one could go through the game without having to play that way at all.  I know the primary focus will be the adventuring gameplay, but other elements (farming, trading, politics, art, etc) would help flesh out the world.

Sorry for going off on a bit of a tangent, I know most of these suggestions are of the \"in the future, we may put it in, and in the far future we may fully implement it\" variety.  Just think of them as possible long term goals.

To everyone asking for clarification, I don\'t think I can put it in much clearer than Jolly Crim\'s excelletn step by step guide.  If there is a specific step you are still having trouble with, please post the step and the problem and I\'ll help if I can.

The game is still early alpha I believe, so if you can\'t get in don\'t worry too much.  Right now the client gives us a taste of the game to come and the ability to help out more than anything else.

Could be the time of day, I was getting an FPS in the 20\'s and 30\'s in the main plaza earlier (now I\'m getting them from between 2-10).  Also, trying checking out less populated areas, that seems to really improve the frame rate (I was getting it in the 40\'s in the untextured dungeon of death under the temple).
