First off wow…. talk about a massive game (only found five areas so far) 2 of them spanking me and 1 just outright killing me. (So thanks to everyone who made this wonderful massive game.) thats cool tho, what rpgs are about exploring and seeing what you can handle. So why not have better maps? The northern forest is the only one worth buying (from modrian anyways haven't found a new city yet) we need more maps like that to show you the general area of a zone so you have some understanding of were it is. Hard to get too brave to run around and explore when you burn up move like crazy and no real recall device yet. Although the return thing works to level 10. Unfortunately level 10 is when you need to find a new area. (when i ran into the ettins) Would you like to borrow a cross and shovel? snicker. Also is there a way to make it so you don't get hungry so often? feels like i eat bread all the time…. even meat pies… Just being satiated is so important for your move refreshing faster which allows you to explore more its more than a little annoying. Realism is cool until it becomes tedious. The help files are massive! which is excellent and a good time to read them is when you are leveling up. because it takes forever to kill a mob :p. All this is extremely overwhelming tho. So thanks to all who helped me out with my little questions and quirks :D. The shops why can't we see the stats on items in the shops? Don't really want to buy a hard leather bracer if its worse then my studded leather bracer (don't know if its real equip just spitballing) but you can't tell until you purchase it. But don't want to buy it because i need the money to retrieve my corpse for when i die out exploring again. Also why not make the low level mobs drop more equip then body armor and swords? nothing fancy maybe just a little better than your uh.. (replicator?) loadout so you actually get that sense of progression. Honestly without the players helping me by steering me in the right direction this game would be brutal! I dunno about you guys brutal is great for seasoned vets. Not my level 10 knight :P Speaking of knights…. whats up with bash and no shield bash!?! and since i try to take on mobs much stronger than me bash is worthless since you will fall over if you fail and you will fail which is almost a sure death why not remove the falling part? Skill list for knights seem pretty weak sauce behead at a lower level would be nice (what knight can't behead? Aim for neck and swing!) spell list is interesting altho turn is crappy! and really cast pray instead of just praying? shrug would like to see good knights get a bonus for 1000A more prot from evil maybe slight hitroll and damroll boost? my deity should look down on me with favor doing his/her righteous works. would like to see a little more help files about remorting… also maybe give you a better idea for the base damage done for skills and spells in the help files? um thats about all i have until i figure out this remorting thing. To everyone who made me feel accepted in the world of Tempus thanks! You've made an unenjoyable grind into a bearable one keep up the great job and maybe we will see the 10-20 active people on the who list i keep hearing about :p !almost forgot make read scrolls lower level so we can actually start figuring out which stats to improve and gear :p

Other than that great game been recommending it to other people unfortunately most people want to see the flash and dazzle of high end graphics. (your imagination is a powerful tool)

Drystan Protector of the Innocent

Welcome to Tempus Drystan! Some good points you've got there that I agree make it hard for new players. I was once a new player and it was quite an adventure growing up. Believe me when I say it gets easier.

You may want to try a Mercenary, you get wrench at an early level and it is a lot of fun. I have not tried Knight, but I have heard they are much harder to play.

Those armor and swords they drop at the Halflings village are great! Especially selling them for money.

Thank you for posting your experience. I wanted to know your general impressions, and you delivered. Thank you. And just so you know, more maps are on the way.
