I am a new member of this guild , and i figured i might put in a few cents worth of thoughts into the history here. Although first off i shall introduce myself i am Wamororo Walloren a apprentice miner , well in fact a apprentice stage in everything in life right now in Yliakum. Zzurlosch invited me into the guild after a bit of roleplay.

Anyways I like the origins of the two brothers working on this small organization form the beginning, a family organization, or the remnants of a old clan. I was thinking perhaps the clan or family aspect could be focused a bit with new members like myself forging some blood relations in the past between members of this guild.

Perhaps vague recollections to a old clan in older days that were bonded together, or perhaps heirlooms (fictional ones sense they don’t really exist in game) that were passed down and link the members to a common ancestry beyond race.

the exact history or ancestry could be left vague or as a mystery not needing to be explained as it is irrelevant for the most part other then being their as a link between members in a rp sort of way. 

anyways thats just my two cents

I am glad none of my comments were taken as flaming the game and were taken as constructive critisem as it was meant to be.

I would like to say though after a bit more time within the game , i do have a few more comments , although i have read somewhere in these forums that NPC’s are going to be improved upon and this will likely remedy the situations i have come across.

In the vain attempts to supplement my characters income i have attempted the third root i dident at first consider above , and that is quests. As luck would have it the first two quests were rather simplistic just courier missions , and thats great it had me go to both the Eagle Bronze doors , and Objavia. Although the next few is where frustration sets in a bit.

the next three quests i find ask me to donate more money then i have currently , (i am doing quests for money , and someone who can barley keep a coin in his pocket can hardly donate 1000 to do a quest) , but all and all thats fine , perhaps when i get enough money together i can do those quests. it is the next few that just really let frustration set in , although i know if i nag the experienced players enough in game (oh people that meet me probably are getting tired of me asking for directions already). I can not afford to buy 5 sabers , a Healing glyph , or donate 1000 to the church.

the next quest is a singer that wants me to deliver a flyer to “the broken door” i ask her where this place is , in as many ways possible , but i am told she dose not know where it is basically. Herm you want to sing there but you don’t know where it is ... or even a place to start looking .... The next is similar a person wants a object back form the guardian of the dungeons , but he dose not seem to know the location of these dungeons either .... but these two quests can be fixed by me continually asking around and hoping to find someone nice enough to tell me where to find them. Just as a suggestion for the npc dialogue with these types of quests , perhaps for us newbies maybe have the npc’s be able to give general directions to were we are supposed to go ?

the last quest of the day is the one i spent the most time of , and got nowhere on. I was asked by a npc to find out what his wife wants for a gift form him. So far so good , but no matter how i ask her she dose not seem to understand me what so ever. It seems likely to me that i have to tell her a very specific sentience, and sense the game dose not make use of dialog tree’s it seems almost impossible to figure out. perhaps having some kind of hint in his dialog with the quest (figured their was with the things he said in quotes , but she didn’t respond to that either) to give a player some hint on what to say.

anyways that is just a newbies two cents for now.

by the way to the poster above who said their is a killable creature which is more profitable , i am still looking but have yet to find anything that wouldn't kill me first.

I just joined this game and i have been enjoying it so far , although it seems comments and perhaps criticisms on this game are welcome (i fully understand this is a work in progress)

I enjoy the fact that this is a rp game , and i am sure once i get the knack of things i am going to begin to immerse myself. For now though i am in that what to do next stage , and in the learning curb stage.

I think there is a few things though that could have been added to the tutorial area / quests to help prepare me for the game.

1. show me how to gain skills, i actually did it right when leveling up my first skill tonight , but once the bar turned green i didn’t fankly know what to do. thankfully their was a kind person in-game that explained it to me in ooc.

2. show me how to mine and use some of the skills. or at-least show me were to mine , not nessicary what locations in world , but perhaps what to look out for wile exploring.

3. Tell me a few of the materials i can look for , not all of course maybe just a few so i know what to put next to /dig.

the next thing just would like to say , its about the economy and what i noticed at the very beginning of the game. It seems rather expensive to buy repair kits for my swords. they always seem in disrepair and i can only get 4 to 6 coins for my kills (if the rat drops anything at all) . and frankly keeping my swords in good condition is costing me so much i frankly dont have any money to buy skills , better weapons , armor , so that i could kill some foes that drop more valuable loot so perhaps i could get ahead. I dont know this just may be me , and perhaps i am doing something wrong. Perhaps if dropping the cost of repair kits is not a option , maybe making them work more then once ?

The last thing i just wanted to mention , perhaps somehow when training , indicate the cost of the training ... i thought i would have enough banked to get a level in swords tonight and perhaps some spare coinage (going form level 2 to 3) i am not sure how much it costed but it did drop me to 2 coins in the pockets .. perhaps i would have thought twice about doing it if i had a clue how much it would cost me ... what to do with a saber with a 5/50 .... i hope turning to mining for some money will net me enough to repair my sword in a few days .... i don’t want to go back to hand to hand with rats.

Though i would like to say the community in this game is great, I am enjoying it alot so far and i hope that i will sometime soon get ahead a little so that the game will seem more rewarding.
