Hm... long ago it is, was about some days after Release that I first logged in and made my first steps on Atys, lets remember...
First I just wanted to get used to the controls... then I startet beeing a level 40 Melee on Newbie Island before I finally checked out that there really was a Mainland
Later I deleted that char, cause I thought I "missleveled" him... well, so my Main "Sorenal" was born with 100K (!!!) Dappers from the older toon and only 15 levels Melee on newbieland. Next goal was to find and kill Kipees and level melee more up, but I got distracted by the chance to make treks around atys with great leaders, who really did a good job bringing us with Level 40+ from Zorai to Matis.
Something funny about this time: we didn't know that there was something like bandits but thought that you could attack some NPCs and make them aggro... So whenever someone was killed by one of our bandit tribes he would shout in region for the ******* that again aggroed them
Well, after reaching Pyr on my own, fighting our way to Matis with a great trek along with the greenseals and getting to Tryker in a 7 hour martyrium where we almost wasted all our equipment and hundreds of SAP-crystals on charging "blind 1" on hundreds of cutes in the bounty beaches... I finally realised that Treks would be part of my destiny which I tried to fullfill within the next months... bringing dozens of trykers out of their cave called lakeland... which was just horribly guarded by hundreds of aggro cutes and other beasts...
Later goals changed to become a more guild suiting set of skills like carer, digger and healer and some weeks ago I really startet to become a crafter...
Well there are so many memories and so many goals I had within the last months I can't recall them all without writing a 500-pages thick book
Anyway, my goal right now is to finish some Melee and Healing abilities for PvP-Reason (you gotta be able to defend your principles
) and to craft some newbiesstuff for younger homins giving them out for them in reward of a player-quest like:
(we are in Pyr right now)
Hey, young Homin... ever been in Thesos? No? Great, try to go there and find out the names of the trainers, write them down so I can complete my list of Atys trainers. Don't worry, if you're carefull you can do the trip alone without beeing killed and get your reward.
No, not 1024 Dappers *laugh* choose a fine weapon or 2 or 3 armor parts... *listens to the newbie* ... well, if ya want the whole armor... there is another task... but that on will be trickier... good luck with the first quest young Homin, be back in less than 2 hours and tell me about your yourney, gather some friends if you think you can't do it alone...
(back in the forum)
Something like this, you get the idea
Greetings and farewell,
Sorenal
