Re: Newbie Guide
Good idea.
The more help newbies and newcommers to the game can get, im all for it.

I’m not a complete idiot. Some pieces are missing.
Re: Newbie Guide
Added in what I thought would be a good idea for killing areas, will attempt to add in quests later.

Re: Newbie Guide
Perhaps a warning for things like racist knights on the plains or racist gondorians etc? So Goblin newbies dont run there and flat out die
Re: Newbie Guide
Hey
This is a really good idea. I was thinking some about skills. The ones I suggest are probably just parts of the equation for important newbie skills so please pinch in.
Combatwise:
Defence, parry, unarmed combat, sword, polearm - the swords often seems to be lying around and people tend to have spares also some quests requires magic swords for fighting, polearm because Bubba can make those for you.
Funds:
Trading, herbalism
General/Questing:
Awareness, location sense, climb, swim, sneak, hide
I would consider moving the Mercenaries (& Gladiators?) up to GA level, but keep Cadets & Academy there as well because they still have merit for the low funded slow growing player. I think the Elemental Academy works for first timers as well, as things are fairly well explained in their help files? But trying them was of course with 12 yrs of experience. It would be interesting to see what a real first timer would make of them and essentially if one could expand on the available information.
Either way.. great initiative Gub.

Lawful evil - conform or die.

I had no idea that happened. Thats hilarious. They should be updated to include orcs too.Draugor wrote:Perhaps a warning for things like racist knights on the plains or racist gondorians etc? So Goblin newbies dont run there and flat out die
Re: Newbie Guide
Well, there are tons of things that attack non-goblin and goodie-newbies too. Ithilien is very dangerous for instance. Its a dangerous world. However when the questmaster in Pelargir tells you to go to Minas Tirith on a tour and you end up dead because you happen to be a goblin. Or Tarshir tells you to go to Vingaard Keep. Such newbie-traps maybe arent so good...
So some "Beware if you're a goblin" - notes might be a good idea in a guide.
But it shouldnt be too cuddly and cozy! Some parts of the realms should be dangerous. Its part of the fun too. Thats what I remember from my own newbie days as something positive, that the world was dangerous.

Or they just make Goblins under GA able to enter or so?

Re: Newbie Guide
I've brought this topic up before. I'd like to see a Quest leeway given in regards to that. For those people who are damned and would get kicked for going good aligned or vice versa with holy. For racial restrictions on quests set up a system.
Access can be requested but it can only be for questing purposes only. If anything else is attacked a penalty such as stat drain for 5 gametime hours, or I would not even be opposed to a death should be implemented to keep people from abusing it. This would allow people to quest without that hindrance. Let's face it, yes you get huge boosts in combat aid for being a goblin but you can't do a very large handful of quests if one. This would solve it.

Re: Newbie Guide
Tarshir could just send goblins and evil people to Sanction to visit Ariakas or the clerk. And in Pelargir they could go to MM. Shouldn't be too hard to fix I guess.
btw, I think Tarshir or at least the tour note say something about being careful if you are a goblin.
