Where is all the beer?

[Noldir]

Firstly, let me say hello, to all of you...

I have just sailed in the PlaneShift waters a few days ago. just to check it out and see what it is all about.

My first impressions are great. I needed some time to adjust to the new setting, as I never played an acctual RP, only MMORPGS like WoW, RYL2, Carpe Diem,... but I always got bored, having nothing to do but kill monsters for the most of the time. Frist thing is this truly remarkable community, always willing to help, I had most pleasant experiances in the game with some nice people. They had me started in the game as I'm now getting some idei of what this game is all about.

I also like the aspect of learning skills, as it is much closer to me and to the real life, then just leveling up. Now I can truly make my character as I want him to be. I also like how the game treats weapons, as I just hate those games where you have to be level X to carry the sword Y. I mean, I can wear any sword in real life, but that doesn't mean I can use one (If my observations about the weapon system are inncorrect, I humbly apologise.)

I also got the hang of my new character, who was mainly created just for exploring the world. He now has a goal in life. As he was raised by humans, he didn't have the chance to communicate with his dwarf race, so he is now on a quest to reunite with his race, learn their ancient crafts and their language. So he is to become a master blacksmith

Well it is simple, but it is a start in my (hopefully long) RP carrer

All the best to all of you, and ofcourse the development team, who have made such a remarkable game possible.

P.S.: English is not my nativ language, so I apologise for the mistakes.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

Looks like you are of to a great start, and had some good people show you the ropes

You will notice there are some weapons you do need to have a certain level of personal skills, like intelligence or streangth or others. There is a wide variety to start with though that have no requirments.

I wish you great adventure in your search for your heritage,
Laragorn

Beer and taverns are great and fertile subjects for roleplay experiences in game. Come to Kada-El's or Brado's and see if there is a PC bartending. I have had some great times with characters in game before doing RP at the tavern. If no one is bartending then hop behind the bar and be ready to start typing when people come in... there are really fine people in this community, although not everyone is always online all the time, so it is a bit spontaneous, with slow days and manic days, et cetera. I think that bartending RP is the most challenging (you really need to keep typing for a long time), but also very rewarding. Also, you should get your mug... and welcome!

Thank you for the warm welcome.

I am progressings slowly trough the game, and I have some questions... (Note that I have used Search:) ) 

I got a book from a quest I did, and I wonder if there is any way of using it? I found out, that you can place in the Mind field of the inventory, bu thats about it...

I conclude, that if you place it there, in time you will "read" it... Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Right click on the book in order to see what it is about .. usually the title clarifies it's purpose as well. Keeping it in 'mind' allows you to use it for that purpose.

This book will allow you to use certain equipment or know the recipies for things which are described in the book. Of course all of this is assuming you also have the skill to go along with the book. Books are an addition to certain skills and can be seen as recipies or user manuals for things, the book alone won't allow you to do much though.

Thank you for your explanation.

I tried it in game and it worked just as you said...

Be well...
