Death Realm Help

[vazsingh]

i've been stuck in the death realm for over four hours now. It's getting too much for me! I try to speak to some of the characters & either the bots or the other ones run away. When I run after them to catch up, I fall !

It's really getting too much for me. Please help.

First, there is a difference between being stuck and being lost.
If you can move then you are not stuck and there is no need for you do /unstick
If you fall out of any path in the darkness, if the /unstick doesn't allow you to move, then the command to use is /die
If you are using the first person view, you won't be able to see your feet, even when looking down. So you can use the M key to toggle to third person view. Do not run since you don't know where to run to.

Once you can move, look around. It's the death realm, a dark and scary place. What you are looking for, is an exit. There is a magic portal (sparkling stars moving up) inside the mouth of a stone carved face.
The purpose of the death realm is to keep dead souls forever. Only the bravest are able to find a way back to life...at least in theory. In fact, as it is implemented right now (a search in this forums would have helped you), every curious explorer can find the way out.
In 4 hours, you should consider that you might have explored more than once the same places. Look around and ask yourself if there is a way to reach a place you did not yet explore. Not all places are reachable, but some are, including the exit.
Hundreds of people actualy found the exit by themselves. You can be one of them, or simply a follower of anyone you see passing by. If you can't follow one single running person up to the exit, follow each one until you reach a fork and see where the next ones are running to. Then look at the path they went to, explore it lookiing for a fork or the exit.

I finally managed to escape with help from another member. I'd just like to raise the point that for a newbie, that's FAR too hard.

Vazsingh, I met you in the arena today and you did just the right thing by in character asking for help. Sorry you found your way to the DR, but it happens frequenty. As I said to you then, the path of the newcomer is a difficult one. I think this is by design. Stop to talk to people in character, build relationships, and Role Play. Gaining tria, weapons, and progression points for training should always be a second priority. Tis the way this world works. Everyone is happy to help, if you approach them the right way. G'luck

The main problem is that newbies expect some huge neon sign saying "Death Realm Exit Here!".
You just have to explore a bit to get out, dieing is supposed to be annoying you know
It's not even hard anyway, you just need to follow the path and use common sense.

The Death realm was annoying when i was a newb
i first logged onto the game EARLY in the morning so there was barely anyone to help me out.
after a lil bit of exploring and help from a very kind person i got out. (his name was [and still is] dowanger)
dieing wasnt even my fault. i fell through the floor. o_0

Will it be legal if I write a tutorial "How to leave Death Realm"? This place is very annoying and it's a big problem for newcomers (it's my luck that I found the way outside, first few corridors are the most problemative...).

And THAT right there is the bug on the top of my hate list.  It drives me nuts to fall off the end of the world because I slipped through a tiny crack.  Can we put some sort of "safety net" just below the known world to stop the fall so we can /unstick back to where we were?

[iceddragons]

"You fell off the edge of the world and died."

Since that can only happen because of bugs, I think they should make it something a little bit less fatal and more non-fatal.

You won't be able to share it on the forums, and we would not like to see this tutorial shared on public websites either.

You have GOT to be kidding me.

I'm an adult. I don't have time to spend hours aimlessly wandering the "death realm." I want to play the damn game. Nobody in there I've asked has any more of a clue than I do. What, is this some sort of sick initiation to your game? Maybe the rest of the game is ok, but I'll never find out.

I don't even care if a moderator deletes this, because at least that means they saw it. I couldn't find some sort of customer service email to talk to, so this is how I'm making my displeasure known.

No wonder this game is free... you get what you pay for.
