While hoping, wishing, and praying for Darkfall to come out I decided to resub to Vanguard and to also give Ryzom a shot. I should be in game by  tomorrow morning. Anybody have some beginner tips for me? Good server choice maybe?

    The starter quests/missions are great for learning the basics and well as giving you a little insight into the back story the are however just a tutorial. Don't expect the game outside the starter island to be quest driven the way Silan is. The mainland does have missions but they won't lead you through the game like the ones on Silan. An other thing to remember is that quest NPC's don't have great big questionmarks over their heads, only their titles set them apart from regular NPC's..

    I've been trying it for about 2 years now. So far, so good. ;)

           Its kinda funny and I know Im in the minority but I found Silan alot more enjoyable than the mainland......I found the mainland extremely boring and after level 105 digging I just got burned out on it...... I thought the combat could have been much better and hte drops need to be alot better.......I realize its a crafting game but for every single mob I killed to just drop crafting junk got old fast....When I kill humanoids, Id like to see some money drop or items.......I killed hundreds of humanoids in this game and never saw diddly drop.......Ryzom has some great ideas and I like the complexity of the digging but really its about the only thing worthwhile in the game.

    Common mobs drop crap ? Then why Fine Ploderos Skins are sought after for weapons ? Sometimes, fine mats are needed to obtain just that little boost to get the "perfect" stats. Which ones ? don't ask me, except the plod skin, I don't know all the secrets yet.

    In fact, the most sought after mobs are the bosses (names that end in : -keth, -kin, -kya, -kan, -koo) that drop supreme mats and the "Nameds" that drop excellent. You do get good mats from hunting, but they are rarer than the regular grind junk. Same for digging, Excels and Supremes are harder to get than choice, fine and basic. (And sometimes buried under a pile of nasty aggro mobs that need to be cleared by hunters.)

    Just today I got 3 different bosses in the Prime Roots, and that's a very scary place to me. Without my previous hunting experiences, I'd hardly make it through.
