I think I'm enjoying this more than I've enjoyed any MMORPG, ever.

Not since my MUD days have I had this much fun.

Tally of foods I haven't fucked up:
  • Grilled Cheese
  • Home Fries
  • Tuna Salad Sandwich
  • Hard boiled egg

    At first ... Very dissapointed. Using the mouse to move around was driving me insane. The loot for groups seemed like whoever got the kill shot.

    Then I started to learn. Hey, use the num pad to move around! That made the game 100x more fun. Guess what? The game has a built in /random system for doing loot, or you can pass! Freaking own.

    I absolutly love the battle system. Althought at first I was going nuts trying to click select peoples names with f1-5, then using the menu to heal. So many deaths! Then I figured out the macro system. Alt 1, heal myself, Alt 2-6, heal group member of said number. Ctrl 1? Benediction!

    I am loving this. Although solo play is slow and tiresome, for a WHM at least.

    Also have soo many items, and no idea what is quest stuff, and if so, where to take it.

    Playing EQ for 4 years, you kinda get used to it. Switching over to something that has a lot of diffrences was driving me nuts. . old habits die hard, I guess.

    My only bad thought that stands out right now; I loathe the fucking interface. Other than that, it seems all good.

    I am enjoying it a hell of a lot too busy playing to say more, sorry.

    I'd like it more if I knew I was supposed to start in Windurst if I wanted to get a group.
    I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

    Coulda sworn it was said a couple times in a couple threads. *shrugs*

    Eumin, for quest stuff scroll down to my post about Windurst quests. The board there has quest listings for all three kingdoms. Its good stuff.

    I think the beastmen seal are used in a quest and you have to trade like over 40 or 50 to complete the quest.

    Well...have picked up a few things.

    1) Don't trust it when they say 'even match'. That means even match for a warrior or monk. Anything else and you may or may not get toasted. I've had even matches go well; I've had an even match wipe the floor with me quickly.

    2) Death can drop you to the previous level.

    3) Money comes way slooooow. I'm hoping the level 5 Thief ability will improve that a bit.

    I think I'll enjoy it more when I'm getting beat on less. :I
