Yes, found the pillars and the way out the second time. I have to admit, I really liked the spawn command. Please keep that in the game.

It occured to me that I noted what isn\'t fun. Maybe I should note what is:

1. I loved the algebraic and logic puzzles and other puzzles( that didn\'t require Einstein to solve) found in Might and Magic 1-5. They were very nice and gave decent rewards. I am good at these and if you want to add them, I can help

2. I loved the single player game that had combination locks on chests. There was a skill called \"lockpicking \" or something where the higher the skill the easier to get the combination.

3. I loved the one thing that made Everquest stand out, lots of nice unique items constantly being added to the game.

4. I loved being able to tailer your character to make a battle mage or whatever and didn\'t have to rely on the designers choices of skills.

5. I love secret room with hidden treasures found in trees and behind walls. This certainly encouraged exploration.

6. I loved being able to kill creatures or mobs without needing a lot of other players. Certainly, I hated dieing but will acknowledge that it needs to be a possibility in the game, just not a probability as found in some online games. Although I would like the ability to group and get added benefits from grouping

7. I hate PvP!

8. I love the \"who all\" commands that tell me who is online so I can send a message.

9. I love macros where I can talk to people or repeat message without a lot of typing.

10. I love a high limit on skills and/or levels so I won\'t reach a plateau on growth but hate to have each level take too long a time for each level.

11. I love clear intuitive interfaces.

12. I love a clear manual explaining what should and should not be done, and thus keep the studid questions (such as mine) from being asked.

13. I love a tutorial for new players so that we can easily access the game without a lot of problems. AC2 did this very well.


There is probably more,but you get the point

8. I love t

I have spoken with some npcs. with others, it is not always easy to tell who is a player and who is an npc. This will become especially a problem when large numbers of players come online. Also the unless you ask the right question, gibberish results. Accordingly, I would suggest some additions, which I have seen in some online games.

1. Have a mark such as an exclaimation point or ? used for npcs that have quests. If the quest is doable, the mark will be in green. If the quest requires a high level,  the mark will be red.

2. Trainers should also have some identifying mark that they are a trainer and preferably what subject they train. For example, a weapon/armor trainer might have a shield or sword above his head.

3. This may have been discussed,but conversation with NPCs isn\'t the easiest around. I would change this to one of two approaches: 1. When we ask the npc about himself, they should note in brackets ( such as occurs in everquest) what we should be asking for and suggest the exact wording of our request. 2. The approach that I like better is to have a set choice of conversational lines that we can simply click on to get what we need. One thing is for sure, there needs to be a better way to communicate with the npcs and get what they have available in a more efficient manner.

4. I think that newspapers should be provided which give hints as to new things, quests, missions etc that players should attempt.

5. Dungeons: I have rarely (although I won\'t say never) met a player that liked real convoluted complex dungeons. Getting lost isn\'t fun for most people but the real hardcore. I would suggest that when you design dungeons, they should, for the most part, be fairly straight forward, which means that they are easy to navigate and easy to find the exit. This is not to say that I would eliminate all the sophisticated dungeons. I would have a few for those hard core types that want a challenge and like to explore till they drop in finding exits etc. However, I wouldn\'t have a lot of these, and I would make them the exception and not the rule.

I found a temple with a well that I jumped down to. I eventually found a ladder that leads to a run down building that is in the form of a maze. HELP. I can\'t seem to find the entrance out of the building! They desparately need an automap feature or some spells that can get us out. How do I get out of the building?

Can players kill me without my permission and of course, vic e versa?

When I set up my character using the quick set up, I come to a screen that lists four things: server, login name, name and name again. I type different things but at the end I get a message that the name is in use. Which name is that, the login name or the next two names? I have tried different names and can\'t come up with a name not in use.

Can someone help me?

PS, if a developer reads this, please oome up with a better way. Maybe a random name generator would work.
