Hmm.. Not a Pally yet!

So you don't actually start out as a Paladin. In point of fact you don't really start out as anything. Kind of a squishy little kid. Running around with a toy wooden sword whacking "jelly rabbits" Kind of a cross between a bunny and a marshmallow.

So I spent some time getting to know my pet for life and how he operates, gathering supplies and crafting gear. There's some options that i don't get yet.. alchemy... salvage... but people in game say that it will come later. We'll see.

Over all a very fun game. I've been doing odd jobs around the neighborhood, killing these for him and collecting this for her, etc. Finding decent gear off mobs. (Since when do deer run around with chain mail armor in their pockets?)

I was in the middle of a deer hunt quest, and the game told me that I couldn't advance any more until i went to talk to some dude. THEN i learned the value of the Soul Preservation Crystal. I clicked my little crystal on my SKILLS bar, and it took me all the way back to the other side of the map. I didn't have to run for 5 minutes to get there. (I did have to run all the way back to the Deer though) can't have 2 Crystals as your home point.

Anyway, So now I get it.. At level 5, is when i get to choose my path. I'm not a Pally yet, but at least I'm on the right path. I chose the path of the warrior.

I'm not really sure yet, but i guess the only thing that forced me to not change my mind about which character path i chose was my pet sprite. Since he crafts gear for Warriors, i had to choose that path, or he would have been worthless to me for EVER!

Just for fun, I went back to the character creation screen, and found that I could indeed choose to create a sprite that does nothing but gather all 3 materials instead of one who gathers 2 types and then makes stuff. If i re-roll, i'll probably choose that option.

I haven't yet been a part of a party. Just like most MMOs, I've spent all my beginning hours in the game running solo. Hope the player base here can actually play!!!

More later.
