Hello from a new player

[gillest]

About combat do not worry too much it is really easy:

1 -Start by taking missions from Melee trainor on the island and kill the yubos of the mission (not others at start), you will go trough first 5 lvls very very fast. Kill even a few more than requested by the mission, cant do any bad
2 -When going back to town, always train Con/Meta/Balance/Str as priority, they are the one increasing your HP and stamina pool and regen..
After that you can get new Inc Dmg or Acc attack.

3 -Whn you are around lvl 10-20 melee you will have enough HP to start training off magic (acid by default) without too much risks.

My comment on the one toon compared to two was mainly due to the difficulty to trade between two toons.
Tho, you can easily train one in melee and magic and just sell loots for cash and train the other one for craft and Harvest (in order to get needed mats).
After you make a few friends, you can ask them to help you transfer from one toon to the other..
The game could indeed benefit from one chest like GW which is accessible to all toons

Thanks for the advice. So far the harvesting is going smooth. I died a few times from the resource blowing up in my face. I can never run away fast enough LOL. I think once I get the 3rd harvest mission complete I will work some combat to get my stats up a bit.

I haven't quite figured out how to locate the resource spots. I got lucky last night in that another player was in the area on the same mission and pointed out the spots I needed.

Would a better tool help in harvesting? I have yet to sell anything I have I have collected for fear I may need the resource for later crafting. But I would assume selling is the only way to generate currency.

Also, does the game load very slow for everyone else? I do have a good system but this game seems to take forever to load when I login.

Got 2gigs + of fast RAM? Is normaly the key.

I am running 1 Gig on a 3.0ghz machine with 1 Gig video. Hmmm might need to tweak the system a bit more. This is the first game that has impacted my systems performance this hard.

I feel so chatty today.

Is there a thread that shows all of the servers and anything special about them? I have done a few searches and can not find what I am looking for. I am on Arispotle (sp). How I ended up on this server, I have no idea. But before I get too deep into toon development I figure it is worth exploring the possibility of switching to another server.

I know games will usually have servers where the population is mostly PvP and other servers that are PvE etc... Some may be geared toward regions of the world. I want to make sure I have the information to make a good choice.

If I do switch servers and delete my existing toons, would I be able to re-use my current names? Or will they be locked out?

As far as the servers are concerned... At the moment the only diffrence realy is the Language supported on them. I belive there are some "event" diffrences but not much. (if someone could confirm or correct this please do). As far as your system, Looks good, thou another gig of Ram would help alot. Ryzom uses alot of swap space. ( my laptop when im running ryzom uses uses about 1.7gb of the 2 gb of ram on average, only bout 300ish is used by the OS)

Agree with others, more RAM is good. However, I get by on 1GB of RAM on both my desktop and laptop. The game loads painfully slowly on my desktop and somewhat less painfully on my laptop. Probably more due to the difference in CPU and possible bottlenecks in the motherboard. Anyway, once loaded I don't have any issues at all with the game, unlike certain other mmorpgs I've played which tend to develop massive lag when large numbers of PCs and NPCs are on my screen.

[awila]

I agree, once I am loaded in the game, I do not see any lag issues. I guess I will get a drink and snack ready while it loads
