YAN - Yet Another Newbie

Post by doxxan »

Hey all. I've been playing this game for a few days now, and wow, it has totally blown my mind. I'll subscribe as soon I'm ready to leave the island. I've read about the differences between mainland and ros, but that's okay. I've come to love this game for a couple of things:

1, Classless system
2, Skillbased leveling
3, Most realistic mob behavior I've yet to see
4, The lore, oh the lore
5, The people, coming from WoW as my last, horrible, experience, there is quite a difference in maturity ;)
6, List goes on :)

This game is so fundamentally different, so unique, on so many levels, that it's hard to see why I should play something else. I've tried dozens of online games, WoW, CoH/V, AA, Eve, DnDo, SWG, to name a few, and several of them have come close, but yet cut short, in my search for my kind of mmo. I don't need to pushed around the world, killing x# of z creature etc, by generic quest #y, which in turn pretends to be for some just/dread cause, all the while making you believe you actually do something for the world. I like living my own life, having my character experience his own world, through his own eyes.

I've got two characters as of yet, a Matis known as Shakh, and a Zorei known as Driel. I've not decided which one to play definatly yet, but it's starting to lean more and more towards the Zorei.

Wow, looks like this post got way longer than the "Hi. I'm new." post I origionally envisioned. Once again, hi all, hope to see you in the game. :)

Welcome Shakh/Driel, I'm hope you will love it - it gets better and better too. I grow fond of my Zorai alt too, I think they are so cool.

I think I heard you in /universe last night, asking about lots of places (Prime Roots and Dyron. I think you have yet to see the best town in game, the giant Pyr with its sand houses (or sawdust houses really) and bath house.

Welcome and I hope to see you ingame :)
Go for Driel, yay another Zoraï !

Seriously though, you choose what you feel most comfortable with hehe.
And I am confident you will make good friends with quite a few homins from all nations
Only one thing that feels bad about being a Zoraï, we got low fame with the Trykers o_O

As I understand the Lore, the most of Pyr was carved out of a gigantic woodnode. :D Appart from the Palace of course wich was obviously built with more traditional materials.

But back to topic:

Welcome on Atys and enjoy your stay :)

Thank you, thank you. I'm so pleased with this game that I've already subscribed. I've yet to leave the island, but I reckon Nevrax earns it :)

Hope to see you lot ingame :D
