The eternal question: E'mei or Tong?

You can have more than one character, it's insane.

The thing about crafting is that while <Willow Branch> or whatever drops pretty commonly, it doesn't tell you where it drops. Your child slave will happily run along behind you picking things up to shove in your materials bag, but it may not be the things you need, and there don't seem to be resource nodes of any kind so if <Not Speaking Up Taoist> drops <Willow Branch>, prepare to grind there for a bit. I guess you can just turn on the game auto-botting system, I never tried that much.

Bag space is another thing - you make 6 slot bags by combining two 5 slot bags, and so forth. I think I came across 4 5 slot bags going to 40, so that may be an issue.

While there may not be REs, there is some kind of an affection system - you can do a bunch of easy quests for a few people to get items that either improve affection with them, or help on an escort quests I was never around to do.

About bag space, this is why you want to do the little treasure map things you get. There is a chance for the treasure to have a bag in it: I've seen as good as a 7 slot bag come from them. There is also the 50 cent bag expansion.

About the treasure map things, the first of the Shifting Sands Treasure Maps I got didn't lead to a chest, but spawned a chess knight that led to some Dragonvein dungeon - which didn't seem to have any rewards at all?

You can look at the server list in the client, they're all just closed (one's under maintenance apparently.)

The little swordsman forum in the arc client is pretty funny to read anyway, it's full of nerds going apoplectic.

While I'm not like, pleased about not being able to get in, the sheer amount of pubbie rage on the forums is endlessly entertaining.

If a lot of people initiate Paypal chargebacks over this though, I can see some problems arising there.

Since part of what they sold was early access, if they don't deliver it will a chargeback be valid?

Valid or not, the people at Subway are starting to give me odd looks.

I got one too.

Probably because of the issues, but because of the issues you can't apply that pack to a character, because you don't have one yet.

Eh they hosed something up with the Early Access and some can get in but some can't - if you bought the starter pack, send in a ticket and they'll send you an e-mail with a code for "$60" of XP pills or whatever. We don't know what's actually in it yet.

OK, created koop with the boob slider as low as it can go. I see some of you are posting codes as tutors, should newly minted players go for that immediately or later on?

I also have no idea what I am doing.

I'm glad to have you, koop. If the guild position of "A good egg" wasn't already taken I'd suggest it should be you

Holding shift will toggle a sort of action mode recticle aiming jobby, I find it very useful while playing Tong, for the things like flamethrower that are clunky otherwise.

I lost the main quest for a little while, there are parts where it doesn't prompt you all that well to talk to the next guy, who is standing by the person you just turned it in at.

As Liberatore said, just check the available quest list by pressing N and going to the tab on the right. I think the main quests are orange.

The stone lantern is pretty small, but it's next to the NPC. Check for an icon on the lower left of your screen for <action> or pressing R. F11 will cycle through showing players if some dude's horse is standing on it.

The bot feature is really more useful to me for collecting crafting materials, as you can't buy the potions/food you need after level 50. Of course the bot uses a fair amount of potions if you let it.
