Player guide?

[m0ose]

Sticky player guide above has some nice general information but as a total newbie im a bit confused. I need a kick start. Are there any maps of the cities? What are the first few quests I should be doing, where are the npcs? Where do I find the MOB's i have to kill? So on and so forth, are there any detailed guides for your first few hours of play?

I can answer one of those questions and the answer is "no" there is no maps available but guilds make there own and put them on there forums.

As for your other questions i "think" you are suppose to figure them out for yourself but if you ask someone in-game i'm sure they will point you in the right direction.

When i first started i was like  but give a few days to get my bearings i quickly found my way around with the help of a few people.

We don't have a "you do this-and-this first" system set up at the moment. From the moment you walk into the game, you have the freedom to do anything you want - there is no linearity. Harnquist of Hydlaa is usually the first NPC people approach - he's a general merchant and a trainer of some skills. You can find rats to kill in the sewers, or ask in-game for locations of mineral mines if you'd rather mine instead.

In the future, players will be able to create their own in-game maps and share them with others. We are not likely to have any auto-map system.

first thing I do in a new game is press every key, memorise what it does, then I go explore the safe area (town) im in, try to ask as little questions as possible, though, planeshift is the only place i've seen with a help channel in game :] I should take up being an adviser again.
