Well I (re)started a mage on Teva last night and went from lvl1 to lvl17 or 18. Here are a couple observations from a new, low-level on Teva…

1. Out of about 6 hours of game play, I think I only went about 1.5 without an HP/SP buff, and I never asked for one (but always said thanks when I noticed it).

2. Vendor stuff is more expensive (stones esp.) than on Epith.

3. Other newbies seemed to know more about what to do, where to go, and how to act. I assume this is coz many of them are alts.

4. I only saw 4 incidents of KSing in 6 hours, and one I'm convinced was due to lag, and the other three I'm almost certain were accidental (ranged player KSed melee player).

5. Other newbies seemed less friendly I'm guessing this may also be because they are higher-level player's alts, but still. I tried to party about 12-15 times, of those only 3 replied *at all*. Of those 3, one asked if this was my main and when I said yes they warped. One person agreed but then ran off to gawd-knows-where, and the last person that agreed was awesome (glad I met her).

Now I’m not the person that just throws random pty invites. I look to make sure we may have similar goals (mobs, quests, level, etc…) then I ask via chat if they are interested first. This has always worked for me as a cleric on Epith, so maybe someone can suggest something else, but I hope this changes in the 2x/3x range coz ima need a cleric soon!
