question on training, (even though training is explained in guide)

[Hlinur]

I had about 4 of those points that you can distribute after killing a load of stuff, and I tried with a trainer to put them into my body development, after much furious clicking and trying to work out whether the computer was or wasn't listening to me it said that I had put in 2 of the points, but the number by the skill (body development) hadn't gone up, even though my distributible points had gone down, did I just force the system to waste my points?

the character guide didn't explain (to me at least) what the different bars do, or mean. yellow, red, and blue. I've played  a little longer since I wasted my points and now have some speculations on this, but could it not be explained (if it isn't alread that is, and presuming you have some other players as dumb as myself) so I might as well ask not, for next time;

does the yellow bar have to be filled up by the blue bar, and the more times you fill it up (and then train in that stat/skill) the longer the yellow bar gets? (that would seem to make sense to me)
 
and does training cost money? I didn't see any costs displayed on the training screen, and no money left my person when I lost those points.
tah!

i discovered planeshift a few days ago, so i am not an expert, but i had similar problems

by training, you fill a green bar that covers the yellow bar. when the green bar is full you should get to the next level

there is no display of costs (which would be really great) before or after training, you have to watch your money and calculate what it cost

Did you look at the stickied FAQ by any chance?

Well this will be my second dumbo post then, and to just ice the cake as it were, I couldn't find the stickies until you just put that link up there.
