Nightcrawler, SotNW is totally free by download, no disk to buy. We burned it to a CD and loaded all 3 home computers with it. My son was antsy because he uses dialup and Dad asked if he had 30 hours or so to get it online ~ or would he perchance like us to mail him a CD? He'll wait for our CD, thanks!
I find SotNW refreshing since all my fave main characters can play together instead of the tedious flip flopping of prior games. I'd drag out my Warrior, Healer or Mage depending on what my game pals needed. Now I've got a self team of 3 by itself, plus a string B team to mix & match any way I want! Managed to get all 6 up to level 33-38 and they're even *gasp* wealthy. Quitting EverQuest after 2 tiresome years I didn't have 2 platinum coins to my name, that's poverty level. Even as a master jewelry maker I undersold all my competition, my wealth was all the pals I made and not in the bank as a result. Wasted more hours finding a party or crafting jewelry to pass the time, why keep paying $ for a game I was never that fond of?!? Several of us fled to new games in a mass exodus in 2001. I 'retired' in winter 03-04 when my younger son passed away. Keep hoping some old pals found SotNW so I dusted off old Greymouse that they'll recognize me... I was accosted by a player in Asheron's Call who asked if I was THE Greymouse from Yserbius? Yes indeed, I remembered him, too after all those years. When AC got tiresome I wooed him to DAoC with me. He couldn't believe I'd quit AC where I was 3rd in command of a 500+ player guild but I soon made a fine name for myself in Camelot. I'm content slowing down with multi character family in SotNW. Mercy, old Yserbius was 15 years ago and I'm a Granny now. Only 'crown' Greymouse wears is a mane of finally grey hair!

I just started playing this 2 days ago. Oh my it is addicting! My SN is Taylor_Jade8. The biggest thing I have been working on is mining, fishing, attacking and killing small easy prey, cooking, walking around and picking things up, storing things in the bank. Just generally hanging out around Lumbridge. I have three quests pending. One for the cook, I have the flour for him, but no eggs. I end up killing the chickens. Killing imps for a wizard to get his beads back. I have the black and red so far. Last one for the priest, I can't find the tower to get the ghost his skull back. Then along came my 17 year old son. He saw me playing and asked about it. Seems he is quite good at this game, go figure lol. So he signed on last night and came up to me. He told me, just follow me mom. So I followed and followed and followed. Now I have no idea where I am. He went to the bank and gave me a lot of stuff and money. Then he went to bed. I was promptly killed. At least I stored a lot of stuff before my untimely demise, but I still lost some cool stuff and have no idea where I am. Oh and I heading back to play now lol.

Riviere this game sounds a lot like dungans and dragons(D+D) I was really in that when I was a teen I will have to check it out when I find time so it does take a long time to load? I have very slow dial up runescape took around 45 min to load

Thanks NC. That is exactly what happened, I ended up back at the castle. I am very happy about that too, I figured I was going to be lost out there all day until son came home from school. So far today I have been killing goblins and a few imps over by the cabbage patch. Hoping my levels go up enough I am not so easily killed next my darling abandons me somewhere. I am adding your name to my list now.

Ooo! Add me! Add me! Lunaflower69! I'll take you around again, too, if you want and I promise not to abandon you in a place where you feel lost! The Level 2 goblins are not only a great way to build your strength, but to collect money and items. If you click on the crossed swords icon, it shows you the different attacks and what will build with which attack. There is strength, defense and attack all to worry about. You want to build all three. If you click on the bookcase icon right next to the swords, it shows you EVERYTHING. If you can afford it, I much recommend the $5/month membership fee. I think it is beyond worth it. I have to work a Christmas Tree Lot tonight, but I will look for you when I get home. You may be with the kids then, though. Nightcrawler, where can I find uncut jade? I can make jade gold jewelry now! Oh, and I am now completely outfitted in Adamantite armor. It was costly, but worth it. I look very green, especially with my seafoam green boots and seafoam green hair!

Glad to see more people playing.. I like to use the teleport function under the magic screen--you can use it to go back to Lumbridge and saves some walking. Didn't know it was there before but it helps--you can use it again after 30 minutes. Did the Demon Slayer quest last nite. Didn't like it that much because I don't like being inside castles or houses. I know weird. Also finally dicovered the Dwarven mines and finally got a new pickaxe!

Ooo! Add me! Add me! Lunaflower69! ____________________- I will! I will! lol. Going to add you now. I just finished upgrading to member. I ran out of room in the bank. Worth the 5 dollars. Now I will have to upgrade boy when he gets home I'm sure. He was complaining about not being a member last night. Well, I'm off to kill more Goblins!

By the way, if anyone wants to tackle the Imp Chaser quest, I have a red bead and a black bead you can have. You need four different colored beads and it is a PITA getting them because all you can really do is kill the imps over and over until they have dropped all four. It took me over an hour of killing imps! And I want to do one of the Sword quests, but a partner (who has NOT done it before) is needed, so if anyone is up for it ....

Okay, I'm goin' in the game for the weekend. Anyone else not really into the magic runes? Guess I need to figure out how to use them and get more into it. I also need to learn how to farm and focus on making more potions. I can make one but can never find enough guam.

Biloxi, you are doing exactly what I have been doing. ehehe I have been concentrating on my fighting to get that built up and trying to build my mining and smithing. Finally got my cooking skills up to doing fish, so now I need to build my fishing skills. My bank account is full, too. I have to keep switching things out when I find a new item that isn't already in the account. I have all these different runes, and have no idea what to do with them, so I just keep collecting and banking them. Hermione helped me out little while back and it has made a big difference. Of course I just got killed again last night. LOL P.S. I am Wanderingjoy.

Treasure I am going to add you name on my friends list if that is ok. I played so much those 2 days that I actually had nightmares. They were bad too. Sheesh, would think at my age I would be too old for that. Didn't stop me from playing though. I still pretty much hang out in Lumbridge. I have enough wood chopping skill to make a canoe. Problem is only enough for one stop. I need to get up the nerve to go to one of the islands. I finished 3 quests. The cook quest, the ghost quest and the wizard/imp quest. Like Hermi I had a terrible time finding the yellow and white beads. I finally found a whole field of imps not far from the wizards castle. If anyone needs to know where it is I can show them. I have a bank account full of stuff that I have no idea what to do with it. Lots of runes. I pick everything up off the ground and I mean everything. Then I run to the bank with it. I have stopped picking up ashes. What are they for anyone know? I have to laugh when people start following me. I guess they are more lost then I am. The are sadly mistaken if they think I have any idea where I am going. Word of advice, in real life you don't want to ever find yourself lost with me and only a compass. I have learned from this game I am terrible at compass 101.

Treasure if you cross the bridge in Lumbridge and go to that small field is where are the Goblins are there is a guild down by the river. He will tell you whether you have enough wood chopping point to make a canoe. When you get enough you can chop one of the trees down by the river and use your ax to make it into a canoe. When you click on the trees they are called canoe making trees. I think I will attempt that today.

Sticking the feathers on the silver bolts needs level 43 fletching. I'm trying to get there myself, I have about 400 unfinished silver bolts just sitting in the bank. I'll let you know when I get there. Maybe tomorrow if I'm lucky. I am farming now, thanks for the advice. Glad i didn't do it earlier as it's sort of expensive to start IMO. I want the herb patch to advance herblore, grow guam etc.

I have been trying very hard to build up my mining and smithing. It is so time consuming to mine in Lumbridge (because the furnace is there) then bank it and then go up to Varrock. Then it is easy to withdraw bars from the bank and hop across the street to the smith shop to make something. That is when I found I could make things to sell at the General Store. LOL Still, it is slow going to get the numbers up. I found the iron ore but can't smelt it yet. Meantime I am still building my defense and found a patch of ground that has level 5 goblins. Also ran across a level 6 mugger. So I did him in, too. Not really sure what level shows over my head. LOL Got to stop for now. Need to go out to my horses.

Thanx Nightcrawler--i was just going to ask about that! Yes the herb seeds are very hard to come by and figured I'd have to start thieving soon. I'm very close to level 43 fletching and will look for you in the game to put feathers on your silver bolts. those watermelon seeds are so expensive. I'll keep an eye out.
