Well, as a great man once said, "Resistance is futile!" Never played a true MMORPG, so I figure if I don't have to pay a thing, I may as well give it a go to see if I even like it. deccan, expect a request for funding soon.

No problem, but since AO doesn't have an in-game mailing system like WOW, we'd have to meet up sometime. Also, my main is neutral so I can go anywhere, but if you choose a sided faction, there will be places you can't go too.

You'll start in Newbie Isle anyway, and once you leave you can't go back.

Currently milling around Newbie Isle blowing up cargo droids... Playing a neutral adventurer to start out with (loosely based on a character from my latest story, which I haven't had time to work on, but hasn't been forgotten), but don't really have a lot of free time lately, so I probably won't get off Noob Isle for another week. If we do manage to swing a rendez-vous, just try not to look shocked.

I killed the tax-man killer without to much trouble. And mudcrabs are easy. Don't know why you guys are having such trouble.

Cool, for myself, I've moved from the "must play AO every day" to "let's log in for an hour occasionally to muck around a bit" phase. This is mainly because I have no real in game friends now.

Earlier, I had a bunch of people I regularly grouped with, but most free newbies (froobs in AO parlance) seem to lose interest around level 50 or so. Currently, I'm at level 75. There are a lot of sub 50s, and a lot of established post 150 players, but not too many mid-level players it seems.

Maybe next week when I have more time I'll go scouting for a good org to join, which should open up more of the game to me.

Also, for Morrowind combat, don't just click, click and hold for about a second (Someone already posted this for bows, but it applies to *Everything*). Your damage will be 3-5 times higher, if I remember correctly.

Narf's guide to getting rich: (It isn't as fast, but it'll give you plenty of enchantment stuff).

There is a trader attached to a telvani tower, the one owned by a man-hating telvani. That's ok, the trader is with the merchants faction and doesn't hate you. I can't remember the exact name, but it's on one of the islands. Help, someone? This trader re-stocks 5th, 4th and 3rd level soul gems every time you trade.

A 5th-level soul gem costs 10gp. A cliff-racer soul gets you 200gp. Soul gems for scamps cost 20-40gp, I think. A scamp soul nets you 2000gp.

Get stinking rich and have enchanted anything you want.

Plus, get revenge on the cliff racers and make them usefull at the same time.

Tel Branora, Fadase Selvayn, I presume. Yes, this is one of my first teleport marks also. But now I have got Balmora expansion, there is a so called "magic shoppe" with an enchanter who re-stocks 5 of the 3rd level (common) soul gems.

Almost everything. Daggers you can stab quickly with, big weapons you have to hold longer, and IIRC crossbows are press and release as well.

The bigger the damage range on the weapon the longer you have to hold for full damage.

Actually they do, and have had for a long time. In fact, Neverwinter Nights was an RPG on AOL like 14 years ago. It was old 2d like early SSI games. Kindof like Bards Tale.
