Man I downloaded it, installed it and updated it, and then it tells me I can't run it...
*poker face*

Can't run it? Why, your hardware can't handle, or is it some weird error message?
Try contacting the devs or posting on their forums.
Shader 3.0 :I

Ouch. Making that a requirement for a MMO is weird, I didn't know that. Sorry  :-\

I think only Vynn and Cevanti are implemented for now, since it's the only 2 races that appear on character creation.  :-[

Me and Light, we are Vynns

I heard about this I think the first week that the beta was out. And since then, every time i try to run the updater/patcher, it can't connect and tells me to restart my PC, which I did like 5 times and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

That's weird. Did you download the current updater from the site and it still do that?
Maybe you need to update directx or some other technology the game uses. But I know nothing about technical stuff from the game.

See the lumberjack exp bar there? It's not a 'level up bar'.
When you use the skill, you fill that bar depending on the difficulty of what you do/craft.
Your skills slowly progress in 0.1 increments when using them, but that bar keeps filling.
Over time, the exp will be converted into skill gain, so even if you're offline (or using another char) you're levelling up.

The hell? They (sorta) stole my XP system! Oh well.

I was looking at Dawn Tide a while back but kept off since it looked rather unfinished. If there's something actually getting started here I might join in the fun though.

Then I have no idea  :( But you should visit their Technical Support Forum for help.

Sure. You have 5 char slots, so you're free to start as a fighter, and make a crafting alt.
For now I can't properly organize anything because we lack our transport (ships) and a city and warehouse.
But we basicly need resource gathering chars (herbalists, miners, lumberjackers) to get flax, ore and wood, and crafting chars (tailors, toolsmiths, carpenters) to convert those into linen, nails and planks.

With that we can build boats and start searching for a suitable place to build our fortress, and move on to the 'Settling Phase', if I may call it like that...haha

I've been following this for a while (I made the original, vastly outdated thread). I may give it a go again, but it did have some serious issues last time I played it.

Ooooh dear. Done downloading! Unfortunately, the requirements are a tad more than my comp can handle, so it'll be a few weeks before I can join in on this.

Huhm, seems interesting. What kind of people/skills do you need right now? I usually name a mason in my forts after myself so I could be a mason, or a cerpenter, or whatever you think needs to be done. My only knowledge of this game is... pretty much none. Is anyone on right now?

I'm in game, trying to rush and train my gathering chars so our faction becomes more than people with newbie gear, ahaha

Masons will be good after we get ships and start settling, but for now we'll need gatherers since we are just starting.
We need wood, ore and flax. Those are to be turned into planks, nails and linen, that are the materials required to build boats.

So you can be a lumberjack + carpenter / herbalist + tailor / miner + toolsmith.
Or you can create separate chars for gathering, and a crafter char, which is what I recommend.
Whatever suits you. (:

I also posted some tips on char creation on past replies.

Hey Light, in which char are you on? I'm on Ninna.
