Learning by doing

Note: I wrote this entry while I was still playing Eternal Lands. I have recently stopped playing, but I thought I should share my thoughts anyway. For the past few months, I have been spending time in a free online role playing game - Eternal Lands . The game allows "player kill", but only on certain maps or certain areas, and you receive a warning message before you enter these areas. I haven't joined a guild yet, and the game doesn't force you to do so. All-in-all, I like it, although it could use a lot more quests (I'm working on submitting a few ideas ). I have a few tips for new players. First, concentrate on fighting and building up will at least to 12 first, then start building physique. Do not add to ANY OTHER attributes EVER. Only add pairs of "pick points" to attributes, as odd values are wasted. Don't take any negative perks until you have reached level 25. I would advise against taking any positive perks as well. I took the art...
