The easiest and simplest class to play?

LOL this is hilarious! Congrats on those experiences, and welcome to the game newbie!

Thanks, another funny thing happened. My first toon on green (now deleted) I named: 'Onlyhalffull', to play a kinda word joke on a Halfling. As it died who knows where, and I was without starting weapon, I created second toon. With similar (half) name, but referring to the other half.

I'm just running a quest, leveling up, when (my first ever in this game) 'Tell' pops up, someone grinning, saying: "I just saw a corpse, with the name, perfect match to your name." He-he, my corpse, no wonder [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] So we both laughed.

Anyway, this nice fella (not sure about naming policy here) ended up helping me transfer one nice pair of gloves I got as a gift when I was struggling and someone must of felt sorry for me. (well I felt sorry for myself at that time as well, couldn't stay alive lol) ... from "other" toon, so I could delete it afterward. Thank you kind stranger!

Btw, at that time, yesterday, I still didn't know how to properly log off from the game. I tried Ctrl-x before and other shortcuts, but I didn't know I need to sit down first. Blue server has nice button for it, but I started on green. So I had to ask this nice fella, how you log out of the game. Before i was just killing the window.

There is no way a halfling druid is KOS in Rivervale or Misty. So, right clicking on the guards should not cause them to kill you. You must have right-click mapped to auto attack. If true, turn that off immediately.

When hunting in Misty Thicket at level 1, stay close to the huts just near the tunnel back to Rivervale. Really, at level 1, you should be doing some newbie quests from the Druid guild to deliver food and such to the guards. That will level you up to 2 without risk, THEN you can go out into Misty.

Create a macro key for Sense Heading and mash it at all times (or map to a movement key, but that is an advanced technique). By constantly mashing the Sense Heading macro, even while sitting, you should be able to max the skill out (200) by level 4. That skill can save your bacon for corpse runs and just getting familiar with zones.

Create a macro called LOC that does a /LOC on each line available in the macro editor. When you think you are going to die, hit the button. You will then have a record of WHERE you died. Also, using the LOC macro when in an unfamiliar or dark zone can help you get oriented as you move around. The first number is North/South, the second number is East/West. For East/West, negative numbers are to the East, which seems backwards to most people I would think.

Yeah, your experiences are very memorable to most. Truly wish we could all go back to such innocence.

Yeah I probably pushed autoattack also, don't know I'm clumsy player [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Quests, I couldn't find/start them at first. I didn't know, I need to type back what is in square brackets.

There is one quest, Deputy Tagil, a life saver, gives 1platina potion every so often. I now have two toons (blue & green server), lvl 3 & 4 and I have all the spells for lvl5 already thanks to this quest. Also, killing is now easy, haven't die since...

I set up sense heading and /loc, thank you for all the tips. These coordinates are killing me. Spent over 30 minutes tried to find one deputy by knowing it's coordinates and still couldn't find him. lol But knowing where is N-S-W-E will be helpful!

The classic experience is to have auto attack just on while you dope around town and eventually try to interact with an NPC, where you will now need to return to, to CR

My battle music was off by default in the OG game install before Kunark. I found the option by accident and turned it on months later to be suprised by the music [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Better than making a macro for sense heading and having to spam it manually all the time (which is what I've always done every time personally though) is probably to set up an alternate bind to a movement key that will automatically level up sense heading for you just as you move around (explained at the bottom here: https://wiki.project1999.com/Skill_Sense_Heading)

Yeah, I stated that was an advanced technique. But really, I just added Sense Heading to my hot key bar and spammed it with a new alt I just created. Got it up to 200 by level 4, so much faster than binding it to "move forward" like I've done in the past. Especially for casters, that sit down a lot, just spamming it while medding is so fast.

Thank you, this link helped! I'm mostly moving with mouse, but I set one arrow key for it and while running using mouse, I'm strafing a little bit with the arrow leveling up. Works great in my case
