General questions...

Okay, I have managed to get my Dread Knight to Level 2 as well as Level 2 Blacksmith just pottering around some. I am mostly trying to play intuitive and not bother with a manual. In fact, I am not even sure one was included in the beta files. ;-)

Anyway, I have a few questions: What are the strategy windows for? I have those big ass windows taking up a good bit of my screen space and cant seem to do anything with them...

Also, regarding the skill system: In crafting skills, you do not have enough skill points to actually learn everything, forcing you to pick and choose. As far as combat skills go, you actually get enough points to be able max all combat related skills. Does that change later on? As far as the combat skills go, this system seems an awful lot like EQ... I am a bit disappointed they didn't manage to come up with something better in 7 years... Or do I need to wait a bit until that changes?

Combat is constantly being revamped Dara, primarily due to feedback that it's not involving enough. You should gradually develop the skills to work out what an enemy is doing and counter it (i.e. you'll recognise the hand movements a caster is using, work out what the spell they are casting is and have the chance to counter the spell before it hits).

The idea is you'll get the same eventually for combat - you'll spot the enemy is lunging and be able to in effect side step and give them a short sharp pointy bit to their now over extended and unprotected chest.

What it actually turns into in the end is anybodies guess though :)

Short version - everything in Vanguard is very EQ1esque (well, up until Veloious anyway), but that goes with who's making it and "teh vision".

Twinkage.... ;)

First mount is 12.5s, I got mine at 10 with a couple of silver loan. Loot drops and cash are a lot better is some areas than others as well - in particular Lomshire looks good for decent loot tables at the moment.
