Greetings
I happened across the server a few days ago & have been toying with some different areas trying to learn my way around. I rolled up a human cleric and started to explore. I found the poor farmer & was happy to help him with his wolf problems. I teamed up with another young adventurer & cleared out some bandit caves.
Am I missing something?
Leveling here appears VERY slow going. Level one in the bandit caves is quite a challenge. Someone mentioned an rp-xp script but I didn't see any details there. It just seemed like the Farmer should award xp for killing so many wolves or the wolf xp should be raised. Same goes for the bandits. One could see an NPC on the road asking for his broach to be recovered from the caves or revenge to include killing xyz number of bandits. I just hate to be forced to grind out 1000 xp getting 6 per wolf/20 per bandit. I truly cant imagine doing that for an ECL character.
I would appreciate a sort of noobs guide to the server to advise on getting started. This should be one of the first things for me and all the other new players to read. Just makes me a bit nervous about the time investment when one has to grind several hours to get a human character to level 3. I guess I have been spoiled in the past with those first few 5-6 levels coming rather easily to give you something to work with.
PS. I dabbled on another server recently (badly lagged so I only gave it a week) but they had a very nice xp bonus for grouping. The more people the bigger the bonus. It was rather considerable as in a full group it would triple the xp for mobs (from say 7 per to 24 per). I liked the feature & wanted to share.
Thanks for any information & cudos on what little I've seen in the server as well as the lack of lag. That is a HUGE plus.
