Death Realm

[wolfeedarkfang]

I remember my first time in the DR 1-2 years ago. I fell off the platforms to the nothingness below and met others who also got stuck down there. There was no way back to the platforms above. We had a GM come but they didn't get us out even though we weren't supposed to be down there. Eventually we all just killed ourselves and started over from the entrance. One of them even said he was gonna draw a map to give to people. I wonder what became of that idea.

On my first trip to the death realm, it took hours to get out.  But I'm not complaining, because I intentionally took my time.  For one thing, I'm too stubborn to ask for help unless I absolutely have to.  But more importantly, I was in a freaky, cool area, which was much more interesting than the boring stretch of wilderness I had been wandering through before the ground swallowed me whole.  So I wandered around, exploring every inch I could find.  After winding up stranded on the floor I figured out how /die works, then went back to exploring.

In the end, I was a little disappointed at how linear the place was.  But I know they plan to enlarge it eventually, so no big deal.  The only thing I look forwards to about as much as the enlarged DR is the implementation of the Klyros gliding ability.  Which, by the way, would be great fun in the DR we have now, let alone the enlarged one

That sounds SO much like me. XD I usually look for walkthroughs and guides before i go asking anyone for help, if i even do that. most the time i just stumble around in the dark till i find a light.

Lol its soooo easy to get out, i dunno why u guys get so stressed or annoyied, its acctually a hundred times better for this to happen when u die than for u to lose ur items or stuff like in other games...

Listen, if u wanna get out, dont get stressed, relax, if u want u can ask somebody to help u but its not necessary (on my first time I got out in like, 10 mins withouth asking anybody) Then, u gotta look at your surroundings, look at the roads beneath you that look out of reach, and just find a way to play with the map and somehow to get into those roads, once u get there u just have to follow the road and presto! ur out!!

Well, Aileey, there are several points which cause frustration if you're not careful enough around ledges, and then some people (like me) don't like jumping off ledges to get places.  We all expect (subconciously) for there to be a definite path from point A to point B.  When that's not around, there are people who don't like exploring around because it can be very frustrating on a slower machine that could hamper your ability. 

Maybe people can't have their camera distances out far enough to see things. Just an idea.

Note: Telling someone who is frustrated:

is not a good idea, they're frustrated and need help/venting, and hinting that they're 'morons' isn't going to produce good results.

I FINALLY FOUND THE EXIT!  It took me more than a year, but I found it!  (insert expression of shock, released tension, and joy here)
Yay!

Same here. You have to actually try and be stupid to not get out pretty quickly.

Loooool XDD

I must hail from the dumb department then because it may be obvious for some, but it wasn't that obvious for me while i was down there. Or was that just because i got confused in the sewers behind the tavern...regardless, the claims here about it being so easy to get out, are somewhat misleading, and I would like to state here it is a personal opinion and if you are like me and found it difficult the first time (now the hard part is remembering the whole route), you are not alone. And that is a long route to take. I hate to see it once it has expanded.

Must be that y0ur M0m is from M4rz then, cause when I started playing 2 years ago, it took me hours to get out.
Imagine this: you just died from falling down two steps of the stairs and find yourself in a dark place. You fall down in the first 10 steps because due to graphical lag and not being used to the controls you die again. Some time later you fall down somewhere and everything is black. From now you make sure not to step off any ledge, or get even close to walking off the path. Being this careful and no-one there to help, you can spend hours walking around, never finding the road. Telling someone in the forum that you will have to TRY to be this stupid, does not really help someone start liking the game, or its community.

And that is a long route to take. I hate to see it once it has expanded.

Actually, once you do know the way, get used to controls, and your character gets a bit stronger, you can get out in a few minutes.  And expanding the DR does not immediately mean the way to the exit will be longer. It may just mean that there is much more to see, more to do, more ways to the exit (some not possible for older characters), other ways to get out (pay an NPC), etc. I would not mind a bigger DR at all.
