Considering playing here

[curran12]

So I am thinking of putting down some nostalgia here and trying out the first mmo I played (TSA), but I was wondering if I might ask a few questions before I dive into this and indulge all of my old memories.


First, while I know this is a cutthroat PVP server, is the pvp all over the place? Or generally confined to certain areas? Namely asking what the community's general danger level is if I run into them out of town, also as a blatantly new character.

Second, while there are certainly less players here than back in the day, what is the housing situation like? One memory I want to be rid of is the packed fields of housing. Is that a thing here? If I were to earn my own deed, would it even be worth it to look for a place to place the house?

Third, where are the busy towns and areas?


Thanks in advance for the information!

Useful and welcoming things.

Great, this is sounding more and more like a good place to be for me.

And yeah, my interest really isn't too much in the pvp scene, though I do like the thrill and tension of it when you run into someone out of town. My main interest is in rolling up a pve character and just building up over time like the old days. Get a house, get a ship and indulge in what my addiction was back in the day...SOS bottles.

Also, as another question, how is the community nowadays ingame? While I imagine such a small population means things are probably fairly civil, it's worth knowing ahead of time what all I'm getting into.

That's good to hear. And I'm definitely more and more excited to dive into my nostalgia headfirst.

Now for a dumb tech question, given the big step up in monitor resolutions, what's the best way to play without a tiny window? If any?

Welcome to the shard.

I do not give 'hand-outs' (I do not believe that free stuff creates quality players: rather, the opposite), but I am happy to give 'hand-ups'.

I'll offer free armour & weapon repairs, sell GM equipment & potions, build a spellbook, buy any crafting raw materials ... I could even rent-out a house.

Please send me a PM if you have need, or any questions about the game-mechanics.

Good luck!

Will do! Thanks a lot for it.

And yeah, I agree with that idea on hand outs. I mean, when I was a dumb kid playing this back in the day, I did my share of death robe begging in the Yew bank, but now, I'm not in a rush for wealth or achievement. When I get my house, I want that feeling of having earned the money and did the legwork to find a place for it. But other than that, my big aspiration is to just be a treasure hunter. I love those SOS bottles.
