This is way worse then waiting for the server to come up after it goes down..I know you guys are working hard on all the changes and stuff but you are killing us all out here having to wait..The excitement and the just wanting to play with a purpose is really getting to me..
Any time now would be fine..every time the game lags I get a little anxious thinking yes it is starting..but then no it was just a lag..lol
Thanks for all you do J & L and here's to a new world and many wasted hours playing your totally awesome game..
I try to sleep i really am but i wake up every 30 min thinking maybe the new server would be up and nope.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy
I had just found myself a nice plot of land, renovated it due to it having had a nearly completely (but not quite) torn down wall, with only small sections here & there that direly needed repairing.
anyway, no sooner then I have that all fixed, rebuilt, all the stuff inside fixed up, the area scouted out, and a basic leather production going again (new character. benefit of LP sure, but new character), and now I finally have a new backpack...
but that'll all be lost due to new world. so stopped playing until then, apart from having made a test character to try remind myself what its really like starting fresh and having no help at all. seeing what technique gets me the furthest in:
-Space used, I'm going to need a settlement after all and I'll need it to be space effective, especially while everyone is going to be around the central supergrids.
-LP gained, because of course I'm going to want to level up as fast as I can to get the skills I desire sooner rather then later (read as: Yeomanry for pally, farming for trade/food)
-What equipment I'm going to want to keep, what I'm going to wanna drop ASAP or not even pick up.
because yes I'm new enough, but I started off with some basic help from a friend, who gave me basic education, a bone for bonesaw eventually, and taught me the absolute basics.
This time around I'm starting clean fresh, no stock-piles of food, no containers, no wooden plough or nuttin.
so it'll be nice.
