Just got the game, will make a lumberjack and get as much wood as I can today.  I'll /t Krinlon in game for an invite and post here with my lumberjacks name.

Question though, can you "mail/send" items to other players?  Or how can I get whoever needs the wood, the wood?

Take care,

Nope you gotta trade it to them. Can also /t Android for an invite too (but Nirur should be around before me)

Is it hard for everybody to get into or is it just me?  There's a lot of little things that are just off-putting, though I think they're mainly bugs.  Details from things like creatures and the camera moving through solid ground and water SUDDENLY having a loud roaring sound when you get close, to pretty major things like doors shutting when I try to walk through them and getting locked in never-ending combat with a dead goblin, so that I apparently can't fight or talk to anything else.

No quest log is something I can kinda deal with, but it's also annoying that I have to scroll sideways to read what I'm about to say.

There's others too.  Are the bugs more tolerable once you have people to play with?

I renamed my Dawntide/data/audio/ambient/misc folder to get rid of that.

If you can't untarget something, hit F1 to break the cycle and target yourself.

I don't know what the problem with that was, because I'm pretty sure I targeted something new, but I kept getting that basic error message when I tried to use my combat abilities.  The one about targeting a mobile enemy or something.  And every time I put my weapons away, I'd just hold up my fists instead.

This probably isn't the place to complain about bugs though.

We did it. By working together we've gathered the needed resources. Armok's flagship, Urist McBoat, will be finished later. I don't know how much later, but it will be later. Probably tomorrow.

I didn't even think of it, but that would have been perfect.

Bad news with the boat: Only the one who created it can sail/ride it. Everybody else just slides off when it moves. I fear that it's only useful for transporting goods to our future colony site, wherever it will be.

figures...hopefully they will add a personnel transport at some point.
For now we could grind so we can all have boats....Oooo, we could create a fleet.  SWEET!

OKAY!

Banged out Liruk in character creation, picked as many martial skills as I could without feeling shame and plopped fresh-faced and dressed in the middle of... Some island I think, time to adventure!

Five minutes I shut the game down because I couldn't figure out how to open any dialogues with the local NPCs.

Yeah, my right click does nothing. And I can't pick up and equip items either.

That was a short adventure.
