Hi,
it would be nice if there were an IC information in Waterdeep (for example on a message board in temple area) saying "Baldur's Gate is off-limits, the gates are closed".
(As to why I'm asking: I got my first character killed in the vicinity of Baldur's Gate, because I'd hoped to stay in the city, and when I got there I found out it was closed, and I tried to find shelter in Friendly Arm and there some goblins killed her. I lost all equipment - wonder why, I was lvl 1 and according to "help death" I should have retained it)
I wanted to thank Raona for helping me with a bug in Daggerford, btw.
The game is brilliant and I already recommended it to my friends and I'm considering writing a review.

Re: New player - some nitpicks
Thanks for the feedback, Trillarel.
What kinds IC information are you specifically interested in seeing on a board like that?
I will find you in game and we can talk about "help death".
I am glad that you are enjoying the game. Thanks very much for recommending it to others!

Okay, both Trillarel and my alt are in Waterdeep. I'm now playing as my alt, Sylianna. Got mauled by a bandit on lvl 2, also lost all equipment, so I think we definitely need to talk sometime.

Re: New player - some nitpicks
If I catch you in game, I'll hit you up and help. I was new here not too long ago and I share your frustrations.
First thing you should know is that newbie equipment you get at the temples disappears when it hits the ground.
When you die under level 10, you get resurrected but your corpse with all your gear is left where you died.
The game is pretty savage for low level (under level 6) characters and even at level 6, can be pretty nasty.
Lastly and more importantly: Players here, myself included, are very happy to help new folks along and have been very generous in my experience (even the evil ones, which can be somewhat hilarious)

Re: New player - some nitpicks
Thanks for the offer, but I already cleared it with Harroghty.
The problem was caused by me believing "help death", where there is an out-of-date passage.
EDIT: And I got my characters to lvls 4 or 5 by whacking dummies in the Font of Knowledge.

I know the game is pretty hard, that's why an OOC or IC (or both!) guide for newbies would be really welcomed.
