Some random advice, since it was kinda asked.
Uan posted a while back about another problem, It was fixed, I think, before the NPC server went down again.
Roleplay IS fun, and a big part of the game, but some play for months before they feel good at it. If you want to RP, but are unsure, find some people who are roleplaying and listen a bit, if they are not in tells, they should mot mind... though they might RP it, eh? There are flavors of RP in the community. figure out who your character is and who he would approach, and then do so. Might want to be someone clear about tells vs shouts vs talk vs group (players guide and wiki)
But you can always get tria by picking up herbs, or do enough quests to get mining. if you do metalworking too, you can work metal to earn PPs, though not tria (unless mining too), but then there is herbs again...
and for those "warriors who will rule the world with their fighting prowess"; ask someone to show you how to duel (outside the city please) and then practice with them a bit, and then practice with someone else who will be another "warriors who will rule the world with their fighting prowess". no PPs, but you are learning, and nothing is more IC than doing what your character would be doing, which is training and learning how to fight! (fun to watch too)
