This is my idea: no separate servers. Having F2P and P2P players on the same server will be good for business because a lot of people will sign up for F2P, see that the P2P people can do more than they can, and decide they want to pay, too. You could implement P2P the same way other games implement expansion packs, by having maps, races and classes (or in this case, skills) you can only get if you have the expansion. As far as items go, I think that any new items that are dropped in the P2P map areas should be equippable by F2P players; of course they would have to buy them from other players because they can't get into the P2P areas. The same would go for quests, and any other content. Any content you don't want people to get for free is contained within the P2P maps. This would probably make the coding easier too, because instead of having to flag all the items, quests etc as free or pay, you just have to limit access to the maps they are on.

Oops that was me Aeris answering my own post. Forgot to log in.

I can't connect to server or to the page mentioned in the troubleshooting document. I called Comcast and they said they are not blocking the site, but they mentioned that my IP was just changed this morning. This morning is when I first couldn't connect. Do you think this has something to do with it?

I figured it out. It was a problem with any key for which there is an "alt + key" binding. If I hit the alt key again after going to fullscreen, all the keys work. Is this a bug, or is it just me?

I did a search and didn't find this, so if it has been covered already, I apologize. An AFK flag that would display a message if someone PM's you would be very useful in this game because of research. I just started playing and already a couple times I have started research and then left the computer to do something else. I was concerned that people would PM me while I was away and think I didn't want to talk to them.

I like helping newbies. I'm a newbie myself right now, but I still help when I can. I think I would be a good NH, once I know more. And yea, if some people get annoyed by newbies asking questions, then newbie island would be a good idea. And bots on newbie island, so they don't have to worry about people not wanting to help over there.

I don't know if this is a bug or not, but for a period of time after going into full screen mode, the map won't open and when I type chat, some of the letters get left out. I have the 9.9 client, XP, 512 MB RAM, and a Geforce 4 video card. I have cable internet and I am behind a router. Thanks.
