To state the obvious, this whole "VR" thing was new to Case - as were video games in general, and especially being a diminutive elf! After a deep breath of that fresh, virtual air - well, close enough, at least - he immediately checks what's in his inventory!
You check your inventory, and aside from some basic clothes, you find;
Old Wooden Bow

Wooden Arrows
Projectile for: Bows
Lv.1

Also, 50gp.
Put on a ridiculous chivalric accent befitting the auspicious occasion of my first speaking ingame and ask the following questions:
1. Where can i find some level appropriate quest givers.
2. Where can i sell loot and buy equipment.
3. What are the general types and strengths of the enemies in tge surrounding areas.
4. Are there any mines or dungeons nearby.
5 Where is the nuetral city.
once i have my answers head out of the city and engage in combat with the local wildlife, preferably near another player who may have bitten off more than they can chew.
Also grab any kill boar/goblin quests on the way out of town.
"People in this town have all sorts of problems! If you want to help someone, just ask!"
"You can buy and sell items in the Market district!"
"The most common enemies around here are boars. They're really irritating!"
"Nah, no dungeons around here, not since the last war."
"The neutral city? That's somewhere north of here... I'm not entirely sure where though. Maybe you should ask someone else?"
Kyle goes up and logs into the game.
You log into the game, make a character etc. Upon getting to the town selection screen, you are surprised to see there are not towns for tainted beings. You pick the neutral town, and spawn. You see some people talking about... something.
Check what quests or group events are participle at the moment. If i can't find anything on those events send a message back to the unknown player to ask for their location.
You send a message to this Cressenda person, asking for their location.
Due to an unforeseen incident, Rozen ended up lying in his chair groaning after his best friend just hung up, explaining an unforeseen accident involving a rather annoying baby sister that rendered him unable to join Rozen in trying out this new MMO.
"Meh, might as well try this thing out alone first, anyways." he plugged his rig on and got ready, and logged in.
"..."
"A rabbit person? Seriously?"
'Moon' observed his alchemist body which his friend had registered for him. He had to give him some credits, because it really look like what he would have appeared if he was a rabbit person. It resembled his real life counterpart save for the leporine features... and a slightly more supple body.
"It's cute... I guess?"
Moon groaned, lamenting the fact that he knew nobody would take someone who resemble a girly-looking 15 years old boy seriously. That, or they'll think he's a pedophile in disguise.
Greet the people in Global Chat, ask for tips for an alchemist, recipes, yadda yadda
You greet people in the Global Chat, and ask for tips for an alchemist. Strange... zero replies? Has nobody picked alchemist as their class? That's kind of weird...
"......How am I so bored already? I just started this game. Fuuuuuuuck." Go off in search of a quest giver. Or like.....quest item.
You go off in search for a quest giver. After some walking, you come across an NPC, giving out a quest to save their child, a 4-year old boy walking on the roof. And he's coming closer to the edge... shit.
Keep following this person. Observe what do they look like, what are they doing, what do they have equipped?
They look like your average demon, horns, tail, red skin, you get the idea. They're running down an alley, obviosuly going somewhere. They have an iron shortsword equipped, as well as some chainmail and and armour on their tail.
Search for some basic quests that involve killing things.
You find a quest from some NPC that requires you to kill 5 Giant Bees.
Seeing the boars come at him, he stopped and froze in fear. He looked out, and he saw that twelve of them came at him. He was going to need help for this quest. He looked at the chat for a quick second to see if there was anyone broadcasting a message about the boars.
No one was broadcasting about the boars. Shit. He started to quickly walk away when he saw a message pop up about joining a guild. Locating one of the people sending the message, he noticed that he was out of the Peaceful Meadows. Hopefully that was out of range from the boars.
He looked at the other person. He smiled at him, then he realized that he couldn't see his face beneath his helmet. "I hear that you have a guild?" He asked the player.
"Yes. Yes I do. You wanna join? You seem like the kind of guy we need... the rest of the people who applied are just rangers."
Locate the nearest mine by finding an information broker to converse with, tell the rookie 3 to come meet me at the edge of town and resend the message every 5 minutes or so to see if anyone else is interested. Appraise the rookies discreetly when they arrive paying close attention to body language and facial expression.
You find some NPC who informs you that the nearest mine is approx. 3 miles south of this town. You meet some guy interested in Metal, and wander towards the edge of town while talking with him. You eventually reach the edge, only to find the rookies have yet to arrive. You are sending the message every 5 minutes, when a message shows upin front of you.
