Is this something anybody can wander into if they're around, or is it best suited for particular character types, or people who were at the first part?

Obviously I am a very new player, having only been around for a couple months, so I don't really know anything about anything. But I do have a comment I want to make about recruiting. I think you guys are thinking too narrowly. Everyone in this thread, and in other 'how do we get more players?' thre...

A brief update, having now played a bit longer. In hindsight, maybe the prices aren't such an issue, since if you do the Express Deliveries quests and turn in bandit scalps and stuff, you can accumulate enough coin to buy your way into the guilds (as I did) and not go totally broke. It does seem to ...

If the above is possible, being able to use 'appraise' for objects before you buy would be really useful also.

Ah, okay, thanks! This makes sense, and I had sort of wondered if that might be the case, but it does not mention that in the 'mounted polearms' help file. If that info could be added, that would be great.

I own a 'steel longspear' but can't seem to train it as a mounted polearm. When I equip it while mounted, it still cannot be held in one hand, but does when examined claim to be in the 'mounted polearms' category. However as soon as I dismount (without unequipping) it returns to just being a polearm...

Re: armour, fair enough. While I find it sort of odd that a shirt would end up in the armour classification, I can understand that that is just how the system works, and in the end it was more of a 'really? wth?' sort of thing rather than something that I think is actually important. If the options ...

Ah, sorry. I must have misunderstood the question at the time. Telepathy would not be very IC, no.

This might be something that would be a ridiculous hassle to code, I am totally code-allergic, so I don't know, but would it possible to make it so that in shops you can 'examine <item#> <shopkeepername>' instead of (or in addition to) 'examine <item name> <skname.'? In some shops with large invento...

A quest to lower the cost of entry to things like the Fighters Guilds would be great, that sounds like a good way to give people the option of paying if they have the coin or not if they don't. It is definitely an option I would have taken advantage of. More quests is always better, it seems to me! ...

And another 20 plat if you want to join the fighters' academy in Westgate, again without any idea of what's actually inside? No wonder there are so many bandits on the roads.

Because I haven't written enough already, a couple other things that I've remembered/encountered since posting: 1) How come things like shirts are classed as armour? I don't mean things that are 'padded' or anything like that, or even something like a tabard that you wear over armour. Just a normal ...

Hey Selveem, You're welcome! I'm happy to do it, since I think it's great how much this game seems to encourage and respond to player comments, at least from what I've seen on these boards. That you guys care enough to wonder what issues there are for new players and to still be actively developing ...

Hey everyone, I've been sort of scouring the boards for newb-info since I joined not too long ago, and I noticed that a couple other players had offered their perspectives as newbies, and thought I might do the same. My background: I have never played a MUD before, never played D&D or any other ...

Hi, Briek told me that this was a bug when I mentioned it to him, and suggested that I post it here. Yesterday my level 8 character died for the first time, and was dumped back into the temple in Waterdeep naked. I found that while I could use 'otell' I could not use 'tell', and received the 'Your v...
