Thanks.

Dreams are for making a hearth fire, which serves as your spawn point when you log in.  If you don't have one, you start where you started when you finished creating your character.

permanently? and what do dreams do?

It is permanent, but at character creation, you can inherit some of your skill points. Dreams lets you build Hearth Fires, which will mark the area you spawn when you log in, and make dousing rods, which detects water and lets you build wells.

Is walking in place a sign of a crash? And what are the effects of a crash?

[0x517A5D]

I think:

• Can't move anywhere
• Cursor doesn't change
• Bottom right menu doesn't work

It seems really unstable right now unless it's just me.

[Helmaroc]

Nevermind.

Okay, how exactly does combat work?  I am sick of these foxes.

I have skills: Unarmed Combat 3, Melee Combat 3.

I have Will to Power and Unarmed Combat.

I have a stone axe equipped.

And I can't seem to land a blow.

Edit: Militia training gave me new options related to stone axe: (C)hop, but didn't seem to help.  Is combat a realtime event?

Edit: now a fox is camping my body.

[Dragooble]

they aren't foxes. they're dire orange hell wolves born from the screams of the tortured souls of the angels of the 63rd dimension
Edit: and where do i get plants to plant at my farm plot?

The southern Dwarf outpost is up and running!  If anyone else comes down, bringing some wheat seed would be nice...
Now we need to name the lake, and find a mine.

[Malicus]

I'm asking on the forums there if we are able to request that a mine be built, since the means of making them normally isn't in yet.  Though right now...  the game has frozen and their site isn't moving.  Maybe it's just my cruddy connection, though.

[Wooty]

Same here. Site and game just froze.

Dreams are just a type of resource. I.e. to build a thing which claims the land you need 3 dreams.

Militia training gave you FIRST options related to stone axe, before that you punched em. Chop = attack with axe.

I am not amazed that a fox ate you. Before attacking wild beasts wear some metal armor, get a nice sword and get 8-10 in melee. Also it's nice to shoot a few arrows before you start a melee fight.
In melee use blocking tactics and wear a shield. It helps. Dodging sucks IMO.

If a creature "camps" your corpse, just log out and log back in. Your corpse will appear at your hearth fire.

i cant seem to get the valor skill. im certain i have all the prerequisites though. oral tradition, unarmed combat and farming.

[Deon]

I've got it. And first aid which follows.

I can't currently check though... Just get all the skills, it's not hard at all. Do something more points-profitable than baskets (like teapots).

While we're waiting for the server to come back up (or..uh...not?), why don't we discuss something here.

I have to say this is one of the most enjoyable games I've played in a long while, but I wonder about a few things. Won't these problems eventually arise:

• overpopulation, causing severe lack of trees
• mines eventually become so dug out that it is ridiculous to walk all the way to the sides
• people get boxed in/blocked off from certain things because of land claims
• new servers are required because of overpopulation lag

Some of these probably have easy solutions, but I'm just saying. Mines (if they don't already) should probably reset every once in a while to prevent #2 on the list.
