It may be easiest to figure out where you are by comparing your location to this map: http://www.havenandhearth.com/portal/res/map.png It's an old map, and I don't know if it's linked anywhere anymore, but it shows the cliffs, so other than the dots representing the trees and such, it will show pretty much what your ingame map shows, so it should be easier to find the area that matches where you are. The rings are related to the old system of determining wild animal difficulty. They're no longer relevant. Ignore them.

Welcome to the game. Best of luck to you.

Speaking as a goon, let's just be honest here: we're going to end up making this game infinitely more newbie-friendly, which is definitely needed. I just started and I have no idea what's going on or how to play, and that's definitely detracting from my enjoyment of this game.

If we set up a goon presence, we'd probably have a newbie guide with stuff like basic controls, a short tutorial on how to get items and what to grind and where, where to put your hearth fire (I put mine far away ), and for goons, a list of places to go/people to bother for stuff like gear, answering dumb questions, food that doesn't suck, etc.

First off, welcome to the game guys. Second, I like this. I've thought the game could be a little more newbie friendly for a little while now.

I can see where some people would be going "OH NOES GOONS!!111oneoneonefourty-two", but I see no reason to do so. You could say the same thing about the B12 people (and I'm sure some have). Anyway, again, welcome to the game. Enjoy.

New goon, reporting for duty. I just wish the server was up so I can check this game out. It seems fun in theory at least

If you haven't yet, get on IRC (see thread), and try to get directions to our town. I stumbled there by chance, pretty much. Also, while you're waiting, it's left-click to move, right-click to interact, left-click in the speech bubble in the top-left for all-chat... Someone should diagram your main screen; I might do that in a few hours when I'm not busy. Especially since 'i' does nothing but CTRL+i opens your inventory. :< And draw a path from the center circle to where we are or something.

Tab also opens your inventory.
