People wanted to roll on Edan, which is where people thought the try hard pvp guys who take it all too seriously would be. There was a bug that meant that one of the channels(mini-servers) was actually on Orwen, and it happened that a lot of goons created their characters on that channel. So there was an unintentional split.

By all means please keep arguing about server choice so I know where to sign up tomorrow when us $50 plebs join in :allears:

Fwiw the server fuckery and Daum's response is super unfortunate but if the majority of goons landed in Orwen it seems like a good idea to just stick there.

We have 40+ on Orwen, it's fun and we love each other while laughing at Drinkfist and filtering several European accents in mumble.

Well server bullshit aside, I had a pretty fun first day in game.
Didn't do much combat so I only made it to level 20, but I got to 60/60 for energy/contribution. I also managed to tame 5 horses -- all male :rolldice:

I think raising crops has the most satisfying input and output out of the side skills. Starting with withered seeds and breeding until you get special seeds and are pulling out heaps of craftable resources is pretty fun. It takes workers 20-30minutes to produce 8-12 grain from a farm node, but a single home-grown wheat plant gives 30-55 wheat. High-quality and special wheat are 3x & 5x more potent for recipes, so if you plan to do any cooking or brewing, crops are the way to go.

drat I could only manage like 45/30, then again I took a break for the server fuckery and did have to sleep pretty early.

Hey, thanks guys :P

I'm actually the clan leader for the little group us Penny Arcader's have. Not sure how the gently caress that happened, I think it did in ArcheAge too(god I make bad decisions, at least I didn't sperg out on both games).

Hard to say if we'll be any bigger than like 10 people to start, I'm gonna be actually recruiting people unlike other PA Guilds which just tip over and drown a horrible death cause the leaders don't want to catch cooties. Maybe we can join in on your guys shenanigans.

Judging by their post, they don't even have the ability to character transfer. Name swaps aren't even promised to happen for a month. That's why I am just rerolling.

Anyone on the fence about re-rolling to Orwen needs to just do it.

Transfers are not even guaranteed to happen at this point, just something they are working to have ready in X weeks... and it's only been a day of game progress.

After going hard in the CBT to come up with a good plan for progression and then spending 8 solid hours grinding it out on launch, I can't bring myself to start all over for a 3rd time. Guess I will just have to hold out hope that server transfers are a thing.

After taking my time and watching the power levelers on twitch, I really don't see the point of it unless it's a minigame to you like it is to kalstroms. Your character is still going to have to backtrack and do quests and talk to npc's our it will forever be gimped on energy and contribution.

ALT TALK

Assuming you did most of the quests along the way the first time, you can roll a new character and get them quested up to Velia in 30 minutes. This includes a lap around town to complete the "talk to X" quests. This leaves the character at ~ Level 11, 6000 Silver, +2 Contribution Points, 45 replenished energy, and no missed inventory slot expansions.

Not bad for a half hour's work. I'd definitely recommend taking the time to get your alt slots filled so you can start getting passive energy gain on them.

Grinding as a ranger was painful.

Then I got Evasive Explosive shot.

Now I'm literally spamming two skills, three tops for hours on end. On the one hand it's easy to do when inebriated. On the other hand it's easy to get confused in the carnage while inebriated. :2bong:

Overall I was satisfied with my $100 CBT3 experience and would recommend it to goons and goons' wives if they had any.

Wasn't it already declared that we are going to need multiple guilds given the guild cap? Why the hell do you care where anyone ends up? It seems that everyone that paid 100 dollars on the game has this serious stick up their rear end and keep agreeing with each other. gently caress it I am rolling on Edan just to be away from this obvious control racket you guys are running with your wallets over there.

I think you can gain that perception from the game threads, but most of the time when you're in comms playing the game with people it's quite harmonious.
