I'm Currently downloading the game, i've been following the game for a long time now, and it's the first time i post around here.
I'm a long term MMO'er, from the UO old times, been thru almost every single major (and not so major) mmo title in the market, beta tested tons too. And i never seen anything like Xsyon, or what it aims to be.
So, i decided to give it a shot. I'll start the game tomorrow, with a friend (we are bot from Brazil), and i expect to learn the basics before the final wipe.
Welcome Vukurutu, hope you enjoy the game as much as we all do. Few things for ya, /y is global chat in game and /w [name] is whisper. Eating is done by fishing, which requires a pole, also you can forage for oats, flowers and such. You do not have to pick fishing or foraging in your character creation, it is a gathering skill and can be used by anyone. If you have any questions or issues, please ask in game or post here in the forums, the community is a great one and we are all here to help and have fun. Again, welcome to Xsyon!
