Login and account create issues are being worked out currently. Should be a patch within the hour to address these issues:

-can't login accounts with CAPITAL LETTERS in the username.
-can't create a new account.

[Rolfe]

patch is up. fixes those issues and several more small issues revolving around the login and create windows.

hello,
well i am trying to learn this game.. but it aint easy..

installing and logging in wasn't a problem.

Then i began to play, i started in novus..no idea what to do...
i talked to everyone.. so eventually the trainers.. then i realised i had to typ 'quest' (this wasn't very clear)
then i got my club and dagger... then i couldn't train anything..
so i went walking down the path... (very long path) and got killed by a way to strong monster.
so i began to read the user guide again and i figured that i need to become stronger, how? i thought i could collect sp (silver penny's) and go to the trainers in the first village.. then they couldn't teach me.. not enough experience.. so in the user guide i read something about that.. i need 100 exp for 1 SKP... (this part of the user guide isn't very clear to me aswell) so i wanted to checkt my amount of exp and if i have SKP's but i couldn't find it anywhere.. and the reference manuel is down aswell.
ok.. so i went out for a walk again, after a long time (passed skeletons) i ran into a abanded village... i walked on and met a dog who was a trainer.. again i wasn't experienced enoug to learn anything.. so i walked on.. i fell in the ocean.. now i haved walked for 30 min. trying to get out.. i can't... i don't die.. i don't surface... i'm just standing on the bottom of the ocean.
Is there a way i can kill myself, or get back on land.?
there are several faults in te game (walking through houses, falling true a bridge.)

the controls aren't that great to work with.. WASD would be much better. Maybe also a possibility to make a 'run' function.

Can someone helpl me with my questions?
grtz

Hello :-) The trainers aren't in usei made a good bit of them :-P. They went to using a different system i believe you have to join the warriors guild now not to sure i would have to look at it been a long time. As for the walking around in the ocean thing i'll ask rolfe to reset your start point. Whats your characters name? And Num Lock is a auto run i believe.

Legal2, Thanks for the feedback. This is good because it tells us which parts of the new user experience we need to focus on.

Key mappings will be added eventually, although we can see about addings WASD support sooner.

And we'll update the user guide, etc, after Rolfe is finished reworking the level system. You won't need skill points, anymore, so it will be much clearer.

[Rolfe]

Hey Legal2. The level and class system isn't quite done. We'll update the user guide and the new player experience once it's complete. In the meantime, I'll fill you in with the inside scoop.

When you kill monsters, you should be gaining XP (assuming you joined a guild already). Eventually you'll get enough XP that you'll gain a level. You should still be able to use the /stats command to see your XP and level. The skill trainers no longer do anything (confusing I know because we haven't removed them and they still talk to you like nothing's wrong). The ABILITY trainers though I think should work just fine. Obviously what you'll want to see pretty quick is an XP bar that shows how much XP till the next level. That'll come. Also you'll want something showing you what abilities you can learn at a given level. We'll figure that out soon too.

[RICKMEISTER]

sorry to ask something that has nothing to do with the thred, but how do i get better at a skill. because i learned a lot of abils, but when i use them, nothing happens!

[Rolfe]

I'll have to check it out. There seem to be quite a few major issues with the progression. It was "finished" rather hastily. The way it's supposed to work is that you gain levels and each time you gain a level all your skills go up. If you're a warrior, your fighting skills go up. If you're a wizard, your magic skills go up. Etc. I'll take a look at it and hopefully get everything working properly very soon.

[RICKMEISTER]

well, is there a way I can lern bladed as a skill?

[Rolfe]

Yes, join the warrior guild. A level 1 warrior has level 1 bladed skill, a level 2 warrior has level 2 bladed skill, etc.

[RICKMEISTER]

but how do i get warrior level ups? i still don't quite understand

[Rolfe]

Once you hit a certain amount of XP, you level up. Aren't you already like level 20 though? I'll try and clear some of this stuff up this week if I can and hopefully add an XP bar that shows how much XP you need till your next level.

[Kayn]

speaking of which i'm back at lvl 2, can i go back to 17.7? :-P

[RICKMEISTER]

how did i even get from lv 1 to lv 20? i must play more often than i think

[Rolfe]

OK everyone calm down. Apparently the levels and xp are really broken. I'll fix them this weekend and I'll try to get an xp bar in there.

[RICKMEISTER]

any proggress? i'm still lv 20

[Rolfe]

XP should now be working. The designers will likely add to the system, but it's currently much better than it was (ie it's no longer broken).

[RICKMEISTER]

stats=xp 1006658, level 20
I don't think it worked. Well mabye I really am level 20. I can live with that.

[Rolfe]

Kill something and see how much XP you get. You won't get 10 per mob regardless of level anymore.
