[sethwilliam]

hey im new and every where i go i can see camps and stuf f but never any people. do people stil play this game?

[Sitting_Bill]

Yes, eventually you'll meet someone - its a big world

Good luck and have fun

[generaldespair]

Yep there's still people who play the game. The game world is huge compared to its player base (I imagine that was a very specific design element, in order to make the player feel isolated and at his/her own wits).

I'm new too and I'd recommend just starting out solo until you get a feel for it and learn what and how everything works, game mechanics-wise. Lots of reading to do like the wiki and this forum especially.

kk thanks but if you wouldn't mind help ing i have a few quick questions.

1. is their a friends list?
2. can we attack other players?
3. can we build our own armys or guards or any npc's at all?
4. their r 3 camps next to me and one has a bed so if they log out while they r sleeping will it show their character in the bed?
5. and how do we know wat world we are in?

Okay, questions:

1) There is a friends list. It is called adding kin. Click on the heart in-game to see it. :3
2) You can attack players, but I assume that will be further in the game for you.
3) There are no NPCs, whatsoever, besides animals. (Beware, they are stronger than they look.)
4) Yes, that is correct. Sleeping takes away travel weariness which allows you to teleport. (Also in the future.)

If you need more info., I play a lot. PM me if you want my HS, and I will PM it back.

Best of luck!

ok thanks but i have alot more questions just didn't want to overwhelm u guys and i forget them quickly
anyways heres some more

1. who is in charge of a village 1 person or the whole town?
2. are their any defenses for a village besideds the players? EX: barricades,walls, spikes, etc...
3. how do i check the map and my coordinates and wat world im in.
4. wat is summoning and hit squads in game
5. ??? let me think for a bit

[Sitting_Bill]

1. depends how you organize the village, there are certain village positions called Lawspeaker and Chieftain, however.
2. Yes, Palisade walls and Brickwalls.
3. You are in the same world as everyone else. To find your coords (a) find a large landmark and scour http://algeralith.info/HavenMap/ for it (hard); (b) find another player and ask them
4. If you commit certain "crimes", you can be summoned at your hearth fire. I wouldn't worry about such things for now, just work on finding enough food to survive, and building your skills.
5. ok

[sethwilliam]

1. are their any major villages now like castles or towns or is almost every1 like me (just starting out)
2. can villagers attack each other. i mean people in the same town or village kin or what ever theyr called.
3. i built a leanto , how do i sleep in it? and wat is travel weariness will i log out or something when its full?

[Sitting_Bill]

1. yes
2. yes

seriously though, just try and play the game - you'll figure out all this stuff when you need to

3. Put a bed in it, by lifting the bed and then rightclicking on the leanto. Then rightclick on the bed in the leanto and you should be able to select sleep . Travel weariness is not important for you now, when you are more advanced you can worry about it. I would ignore it for now.

1) There's an infinite amounts of large villages, but most tend to stay away from newer players. I think you should go solo until you have some adequate stats, to get past the learning curve.
2) Villagers can attack each other, in a friendly spar (duel), or a violent fight. This is called (the violent fight) kin slaying, and is, IMO, the worst thing to do. ;_;
3) You need a bed as well as the lean-to. No, it doesn't matter if it's full, just you won't be able to get through crossroads (teleporting, only if you're in a village) until it is drained by sleeping.
