I'm playing here - extremely friendly crowd. OOC is global and at times very active.
The start up was very easy. I play on a PC. I had an issue with a missing windows file, but the forum community knew where to direct me. They guaranteed they could get the game running if I was patient, even offering to comp share if I wanted that type of help.
The first person view took adjustment. The lack of no scroll back was annoying the first few days. I played live in first person. It wasn't until I played WoW that switched me to 3rd person. I remember being uncomfortable when I started playing WoW too. I've only been playing a week, and the first person view seems normal again. It just takes time to adjust. F9 offers third person views, but you need to be really coordinated to use it.
I'm not boxing at this point. I may in the future. I've been asked to join boxers "groups".
There are other adjustments. Spell memorization and scribe is very classic.
So far I'm still looking forward to logging in to play any chance I get!
Here is the Technical Discussion forum where there are getting started guides etc.
