You can learn a lot from the official FAQ!You can give Trion/XLGames all your money (you won't be alone, I promise)!There are plenty of streamers. The most popular, I think, is
Kooncoon. He is on the Korean servers, which have been out for some years already. He is profane and hilarious, I especially enjoy when he goes open world PVP.
Speaking of servers, the majority of the penny-arcade forumers are in a guild on Ollo. We have a pretty good core group of players that are consistently on throughout the day. So join us! We even have a channel on ye old
TeamSpeak.
Shamelessly stolen from
@Jubal77 's old OP (come back, by the way, you fool!):
Bullet points:
- The entire world is shared. The entire population builds, gathers, lives in one large world.
- Not limited on class creation. Over 100 combinations of classes. Swap classes at any time on your first character.
- Almost no restriction on player building. If you want to be a plate wearing, two-hand axe wielding, caster you can.
- Old-school style world travel. Teleporting is expensive.
- Player driven world PVP. You can attack anyone, even your own faction, rob and steal to your hearts content. With little restriction.
- Player driven economy. Grow materials in your own personal space, craft and sell.
- All XP is shared. If you craft or gather the XP goes to your base level.
- Quests are everywhere!

Our guild, in game, is Merchwater, Inc. and we are awesome. My main is Xixi. I can invite, but you'll probably have to give me all your gold, just introduce yourself here and/or on our guild website that we don't use nearly enough and/or on Teamspeak.
Merchwater, Inc. has officially merged with the guild Elysium. Join us! You can apply to the guild
here. Although our charter guild is no longer, we still have plenty of active members and with the merger with the larger friendly guild, we have a much better opportunity to partake in the end-game activities. Did I say Join Us yet?
The Merchwater banner flies high!
Ahoy! All ye mateys are be apart of me merry band!

Tisk tisk.
I wonder if that gold selling place he has a code for (ie use his code for discount) sponsors him so he can buy whatever he needs for maximum op-ness. I saw him repping them back before the meltdown, lol.
He's still entertaining to watch though. "Fuck shit fuck shit fuck fuck shit kill this asshole." That was the last two minutes of audio from his stream just now.
That rift at the end started wearing us out though. I've nearly gotten all classes to 50. I'll be so happy when that is done and I can really start figuring out what class I want to do and gearing that properly. I'm thinking I want to do archery - songcraft - witchcraft because I like each one individually. But I'm not sure if the mix well yet.
Still need that 24x though.
I'm Tinks in game.
Happy New Year too.
Achilles had his up first as we had to go back and pickup a member who went overboard. We began chasing after them and lost sight of them. Just as we spawned our merch to get radar again Achilles spots their merch coming around the island at ynystere. We go to cut them off and they head west and get around us then start heading due north. We burn some eco and begin chase. We finally catch up to them a little ways out from freedich and we managed to slow them down. They were able to shake us (I fell off our merch ship ). We manage to regroup just as they got to freedich and we met an outcry galleon cutting us off from pursuit. They brought the merch ship around to the north side of the island and ran it aground omarked it and started unloading into an outcry hauler.
We regrouped on the beach and at this point they outnumbered us at least 2:1. One of them ran out to us and we were sure he saw us so we dropped him quick, then they ran at us and we fought for a little bit, downing another and losing cata and Achilles. Hex, myself, and mandres managed to escape and restealth and we noticed the merch's owners mark was about to expire. Mandres and hex head to the merch ship while I stayed ashore.
As soon as hex and mandres were ready to take the boat, I destealthed and ran at the enemy group (which had swelled to over 15 maybe 20ish) on the shore hitting some of them, teleporting forward then shadowstepping to another before dropping into the statue of nui (becoming invincible) behind them. At this point hex and mandres have taken control of the merch ship and are pulling out of the beach. The enemy notices the merch ship is moving and me and Achilles charge them again jumping on their lead players rooting them in place before we die again.
Hex and Mandres were free of the shore and were bringing it around to take it south. Outcry and friends were spawning harpoon ships to give chase. We had 10 minutes to get far enough away. Achilles cata and I were in different locations unable to assist the escape anymore. Hex starts gunning it with eco fuel and they manage to get quite a distance on outcry and their allied eastern guild. Once 10 minutes was up, the ship despawned and hex spawned his merch and they started loading packs. They managed to load 7 of the packs that dropped into the merchant ship before the enemy harpoon clippers caught up, hex took off but was a little slow on the gun and one of the harpoon clippers managed to latch on.
Mandres commenced dropping chaff (spawning ships to break the rope) and managed to break the clipper but one enemy managed to board the ship. Mandres fought that person till they dropped off then hex was home free.
Meanwhile as outcry was chasing our merchant ship, there were packs still in the water from the despawn we couldn't pick up. Achilles casually pulls up, spawns his fishing boat then loads up 4 packs (3 in boat one on back). From there it was smooth sailing to port.
Don't forget, land grab today!
@Premier kakos i'd love to do a land transfer anytime now. Pretty please!!!
Also, chronicdose...i know some nearby 8x8 spots if you just want to move yours over in the same area. It would be really helpful! I'll pay for reconstruction if neccessary.
I'm on a month to month. There is a patch hitting this month that should have some nice things in it that's worth sticking around for at least.
I saw a post on the official forums suggesting the devs reduce labor costs from skill rank up to, like 70%. I can totally get behind that because husbandry is a killer.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Weve been doing activities that require no labor. While fishing requires labor jacking packs from reds and pvping the other sides rift event do not. .
yeah I pretty much have to pop a labor pot if I want to do anything labor involved... my 7 dairy pens cost me about 1200 labor. Thankfully we barely ever go fishing anymore.
Reddit was extra poisonous today what with the whole Slothgate 2015 shenanigans.
Also, I need Prima's land so bad. Someone needs to yell at Prima to give this land.
So this is what happens when you get the superman bug with the sloth glider equipped. It is also the stuff dreams are made of.
Haven't been back on yet. Been a bit busy. Should be on tonight after work
>_>
No chance!
