Ready to quit, a new player's perspective after 2 weeks

play duel till you get good, join a clan and get trained, suck it up and rub dirt on it. till then quit complaining.

I've only been playing a week and a half and I love it. Still can't block worth a crud though...

Money problems really don't exist, try not wearing plated and you'll be fine.

You never used horses, did you ?

Personally, having returned to CRPG after a bit I find (again) the first levels(1-25) to be absolutely terrible. If anything I find one has to be slightly drunk to survive the endless rounds of rape one has to endure.

After that it is actually fun as one can compete even if one may be at a disadvantage to higher level/generation characters. I only wish it felt like that from the start as I think many a new player rage quits after seeing that they have little chance at low level.

This is what the "skip the fun" feature attempts to combat. I have a friend who just started playing this past weekend. I encouraged him to skip the fun, in order to see what the gameplay is like and to find a style that suits him. Once he has done so, he plans to delete his first character and start a traditional one.
