Because this game view is the way it is instead of the top down standard version, there needs to be some kind of DIRECTION.
CHAT: On Faldon, the chat is a lot simpler. G=guild, A=ally guild S=Say T=Tell R=reply (very helpful and yet annoying at times) B=broadcast(everyone in channel) Y=yell(same map) and channels can be changed too. Channel main and changechannel newchannelname.
There should be a little bit of NEWBIE help built into the game. I have not played at all except for looking around an area of about 100 ft radius. I am a complete newbie to this game. In most games, there is either no or little built in help to the game. In faldon there is a guy near the beginning that you can talk to and who will show you on the overall map of the town where to go to do things as well as explain a few basics. Something like this would be helpful and would cause less problems then newbies repetatively asking for help (a common favorite among all RPGers). Some remember those times when they were newbies and choose to help, but even then they can be overwhelmed.
(from faldon)
Fighting: left click/ctrl buttons
Mage, select spell then right click/space
buttons built in to view different screens
/=inventory
][\'; had some uses but its been a while, they worked for spell lists as well as skill lists to choose from (a pop-up screen of icons to click.
\\=use item in first inventory slot (very helpful when fighting monsters/people and you need to eat/restore mana)
Please excuse me if this stuff has already been stated. I have not read many of the posts.
More to come later! I am off to play now!!!!
