When the server is back up, and you are online in-game, try asking others for help as part of a role play like

\'Excuse me sir/madam, I hear there is money to be made mining, where might I learn how to and buy the tools to aid me?\'


you will be pleased with the help you get.

Not necessarily. I very politely asked folks around the blacksmith, as well as around the magic house. The only answers I received were IDK or no answer at all. I asked an advisor in-game & was told, among other things,  to \"read the forums\". [seriously]

This is the \"newbie help\" forum right? No one is asking where to get the +5 Vorpal Sword, just how to mine. For me specifically it is to know \"how to know\" where exactly to /dig. (not the general area, that can be ascertained in-game, although \"north of plaza\" is pretty weak w/o a compass or a sun that actually crosses the sky) Is there a marker? Is there a mine? Is there some indicator in-game that should make it obvious assuming some effort is put in to finding said indicator? Just the right direction, not the whole solution.


Helpful hints help. I\'m not trying to be rude, but the \"ask people ingame\" answer is used ad nauseam & is oftentimes roughly equivalent to \"go ask someone else\".  Some questions asked here are not a  +/-  to roleplaying. Asking someone \"how do I dig up ore\" or \"is ore designated by a rock pile or a cave\" in-game isn\'t roleplaying, it\'s requesting help with the form and functionality of the game. I believe it belongs here.
