FAQ´s

1. This is not like UO, what's wrong?
This is really not UO. There will be several differences, some of them can be particularly surprising, such as what happens when you die, the bank and house system, the militia, the weapons using different skills, the prices and so on. Keep in mind that there are differences and we will try to make it even better every day.

2. What are the rules for?
We have shard rules, things you are supposed to do or not do in order to have a long and enjoyable presence in the shard. All players must know them. Do not confuse the basic rules with "city ordnances", which regulate details such as cutting down trees in towns, littering and so on. These are in-game issues, part of the story and will be dealt with accordingly- such as a fine.

3. I can't find the banker!!!
You have a bank in each city, and inside that bank you have metal chests. Click once on them and you will see who it belongs to. If it is unclaimed, double click on it to claim it for your own. You can only have one bankbox.

4. I can't find the merchants, where are the lazy scum?
Each city has a market. They are all gathered together, for your convenience.

5. I left this on the floor and it vanished!
Abandoned items decay naturally, in roughly half an hour (though there are variations). Take care with what you drop.

6. I died and appeared back in town in a hospital. What do I do?
That's the way it is supposed to be.

7. Where is my corpse?
Probably where you died. If you returned to the place and it was not there, then it may have decayed. Try to keep your bearings at all times- know where you are.

8. My corpse is all cut up!
Some players have that sort of sense of humour… not to mention that the enemies of your city may earn glory by delivering your head. Check the chest of your corpse (dclick on it), see if they left anything behind under the gore.

9. Where am I?
The " .where " command may help you. It will give you your coordinates. Note that the point before "where" is not there for decoration.

10. Can I attack other players?
Read the rules. The issue is contemplated there.

11. Can I loot other player's corpses?
Basically, yes. But read the rules, there are important details.

12. I just got my ass kicked by some farm animal!!
Farm animals are tough! Remember that without skill, a good weapon and/or no,,,,armour you are vulnerable.

13. Hei! These creatures can run!!!
Several creatures can run, and run well. They will chase and try to kill you. It is up to you to avoid it.

14. I can't use this weapon/armour!
There are four possible reasons:
- you are not the right class
- you are not strong enough
- your skill in tactics is too low
- your weapon skill is too low
Any of these will stop you from using it.

15. How do I make arrows or bolts?
Arrows and bolts can be made in three easy steps. First, make sure you have feathers (they can be taken from birds if you skin them) and a little lumber. Then, make a portion of the logs into shafts by using your dagger on them. Now, use your dagger on the remaining unused logs and select from the menu arrows or bolts.

16. How do I get a house?
You can get a house by buying an appropriate deed from the loca mage shop. Different deeds are available at different prices for the different-sized houses. Buy a deed, and use it on the house's door of your choice. Naturally, this only works for unoccupied houses.

17. How do I get hides?
Find a nice big hind or hart, kill it.. then skin it using any weapon at all. Now, the hides are available for you to pick up…Hides weigh quite a lot the way they are, so using a pair of scissors on the hides allows you to turn the hides into leather, which makes them lighter to carry.
Other animals have hides… beware as some are pretty nasty.

18. Help! I'm stuck in-game!
Page a GM in-game! J This can be done by clicking on the "help" button on your paperdoll (double-click your character or press alt-p). Other in-game problems can be posted here. If a GM is not currently available, your message will be read when one appears online. The next time you are online and a GM is too, you will be helped. Alternatively, you can ICQ the GM called Curiousity, and the message will be passed on… (10831900)

19. I think I've discovered a bug…
You can either page a GM, or post a message in the appropriate forum. You might receive a reward for discovering a bug, so don't hesitate to report them!

20. How can I earn my first gold coins?
You can start by hunting. In the marker you can sell meat and animal hides. If you find some official of the Varonian Guild of Merchants, apply to him for some job. Try joining the militia.
In the cemeteries you can find the restless dead. These are an abomination, and the town pays for their killing. Search the bodies and you will find some insignia, which you can cash in at the Militia barracks.
A final piece of advice, choose carefully the animals you attack, you can get your ass kicked by some farm animal

21. Need guidance?
Search for an older player to accept you as his squire: many experienced players don't mind having squires, and you will find one easily. But remember, being a squire requires dedication and obedience to you master. It has great advantages, though, and you will quickly learn the shard mechanics.

22. What is glory?
Glory is fame! It is a measure of your status in society. Glory has many uses, one can raise his skills by spending it (the city sponsors a expert trainer to train you) or achieve a specialization, which gives you bonus on weapons and armor, or even buy arrows and bolts with it.

23. How can I get glory?
Many creatures/foes have insignias on their corpses! When you claim the bounty for them, you will gain 1 glory for each of the insignias. Making patrols also gives you glory. Other ways include good role-play or delivering the head of one of your city enemies!

24. I have a bunch of these insignias, where and how do I claim the bounties?
Go to the Militia Headquarters in your city and there is a table with at least 4 books, click once on each of them to see what they are! Second double-click one the exact one to get your bounty (there is no problem if you double-click on another book).

25. How much glory do I have?
Go to the Militia Headquarters in your city, there will be a bulletin board, double-click on it! If you don't have any glory, a message saying that will show up. If you do have some, a menu shows up with the option to let the world know your glory or see it privately.

26. How can I raise skills with glory?
Well, go to the Militia Headquarters (all the action happens there J), there you will find a book called training register, double-click on it, and if you have the minimum glory required to it, you will get a menu to choose from.

27. Knight? Sharpshooter? What is that?
These are titles/specializations you can buy with glory. Check the site for more information about these specializations.

28. How can I become a Knight/Sharpshooter/other?
First of all get yourself 500 glory, then near the trainer there are 2 books, one to become a knight and the other for the rest of the specializations, choose wisely.

29. What is a unit?
A unit is a "guild", but it has special features, such as patrols. This gives unit members the chance of earning money and glory. For example: the Militia is a unit!

30. To make a patrol do I need to be in a unit?
Yes, only unit members can make patrols!

31. I made a patrol and I got a lesser pay than the usual! Is this bugged?
No!!! It's the patrol marks that generate the gold and glory you get, and they have a counter! So if that patrol route has been recently finished, the marks are not yet fully regenerated. Try different routes!

32. Militia?! What is that? NEW
The Militia is the Law Enforcement unit of your city (race). Almost everyone can join it, just talk to the officers of the Militia. For more information read the document about the Militia in the library section!

33. The stupid Lieutenant placed a bounty on my head, but I'm in innocent! What can I do?
Well, your guilt or the lack of it doesn't really matter, what matters is how you role-play the situation!
Your easiest choice is to speak with him or with any of the Militia members to clear the situation. The hard choice is to resist and fight back!! There are many more ways of dealing with the situation.
