[Blaraphon]

This game seems like it would be really fun because of the graphics and massively multiplayer, but wats the point? Wat are you sopposed to do in such a small world? I love Rune scape and heard this was good but I don't know wat to do, please help, and I'm not saying this games sucks, it seems like it could be fun.

[Alastria]

My manuals suck

 

Fred's maps are pretty damn awesome...even though I started the map phenom in the first place hehe

[Placid]

Alastria there not so bad!!!!

 

Plus, the more info available to new players the better!!!

 

(But fred's maps do rock )

 

[Ember]

OMG my apoligies to Alastria when i first started playing your guide was the "one" that i refured to for help but it got a bit out of date and i seemed to have forgotten it i am sorry

[Alastria]

LOL, it's not that big of a deal Ember, everyone uses Fred's these days and it's a great thing that at least someone had the time and the chance to get something put together when I got too busy to keep up w/ my own. Now I'm getting some freetime to go back and try to fix stuff, update, etc..it's very understandable...

 

[sirdan]

yeah fred has lots of time on his hands at work can you belive he gets payed for slacking off... by the way what the hell does fred do?

[Alastria]

Probably same as me...tech support or web development LOL (that's my job now)

[Blaraphon]

uhh thanks, and uhh wow, HUGE topic, but this really helped, I'll definately try this stuff out!

[goatsgomoo]

Well, I guess I'd better take out the EL Manuals bookmark. Alastria, I would like to thank you for your guide. Without your help, the help of DarkMage_Argosa, TirasHazor, and all the wonderful people on the newbie channel, I probably would have quit within the first day. *coughclickanywhereinthispostnewbiescough*
