im a mac user, love the game, so i borrowed my sons PC laptop so that when the mac version is up and running I havn\'t missed out.
Yes I took advantage of the windfall of swords I loaded up twice. Most of which I sold for tria, and gave to any player who was trying to get on with game in a role playing manner, or at least trying to help himself. Not one tria did I spend on any training.
Due to a graphic bug I cannot read what people are typing to me so I am forced to powerlevel or mining, which is mind numbingly boring; after hours of doing so I am stuck with killing monsters.
My role playing character in the game is a kind, humourous character who will lend a helping hand wherever possible, but in order to do this character I need to be strong in order to kill the monsters to provide the tria for helping other players.
Powerlevelling. If it\'s so wrong and not considered roleplaying, why on earth is there so many different ways to powerlevel ie. melee, sword, axe, when implemented, dagger, hammer, mace. Not to mention all the different types of monsters that require slaying, lets just talk about one: the Ulbernaut. If we didn\'t have strong warrior types are you going to role play it to death ie. words are mightier than the sword. I remember the Ulbernaut invasion for a while there I remember quite a few of you staunch roleplayers, letting your hair down and joining in the fun (the thug warrior type fun kill, kill, kill)
In short in my opinion, there is room in this game for both powerlevelling and roleplaying combined, and to add a personal point I powerlevel, I havn\'t left the game, it took me five months to get full stats, and i\'m still loving the game, and all the way through where help was asked i gave, and was still roleplaying at the same time.
