Traditonal Roleplay
focus on interaction,
How about Everquest?

          As I mention before, you need to make choice in selecting a class and race to begin the game.There are 14 classes available for you to choose; Warrior , Monk , Rogue , Paladin , Shadowkingit , Ranger , Wizard , Magician , Enchanter , Necromancer , Druid , Cleric , Bard .There are so many race for you to choose ranged from good alignment to evil one,Human , Erudite , Half-elf , High-elf , Barbarians , Gnome , Dark elf, Ogre , Troll ,Iksar and Dwarf.There are different faction and adventages to be different race.I would say Evil Race like Ogre ,Troll and Darkelf is the hardest to play while the non evil race are much easier.The Reasons are simple,the evil race character will be KOS by any non evil race NPC in the game.

             In other words, Evil race will suffer from persecution from the Decent race NPC.It requires much courage and time to prepare the sudden challenge of various Guards , Merchants , Wanderer and NPC in the land of Norrath.However, Evil race is always given some adventage in eye sight ; dark elf got ultravison while Troll,Orge,Iksar got infravison.The most worst part of being an evil race is the XP penalty.If you are killed by mobs or NPC , you will lose certain amout of XP gained before.For the penalty system of the game, Human will be the one who only reduce very little xp as penalty while the evil race like dark elf will suffer from more XP deduction.On the other hand, the XP required to lvl is not the same between evil and non evil race.For example , A darkelf cleric might have to play at least 10 to 20 percent of their total XP more than other non evil race in the game.However ,the choice is still up to you because evil race is excellent roleplay characters and so we cant conclude that evil race is good or not.

         The game is similar to our real world in the sense that Time is keep going with day and night changes in the game.There is sunset and sunrise in Norrath and the time length and duration of night and day is quite similar.That is to say , you have to prepare to live in the world of darkness.As you might not believe the race without any infravision and Ultravison will be frustrated in the night time.It is because the dark environment is so dark and dim that you cant recognize objects or landscapes easily.Even with the aid of some light source like Torch , Greater Light Stone....e.t.c you are still totally blind that you hardly see anything far away from you.Once you need to travel in the night you might have to be very careful because there might be potential danger in the exploration of unseen vison.I have heard of cases that player of human race has to wait for the morning to come so that they can continue their journey safely.You might consider this as a very crucial element in game since night time takes almost as much or more than day time in EQ.

            Another problem arise if you have no good sense heading in the game.Race like Dwarf are inborn with special good talent in direction.Since a zone will be very large that you may need to use 15 minutes in the real world to run across ,so you are always warned to be cautious about the direction you are heading to.It might be awaste of time if you dont understand this concept very well , there might be chances that you will be alone or isolate in some areas in Norrath. You are somtimes asked to locate yourself or friends,mobs or NPC in the game.So if your sense heading skill is poor, you might suffer from getting lost, wasting time,getting train from other mobs and probably losing your own life.However, you dont have to worry because there is always way to practise your skill in sense heading.Try to press the sense heading button all the time,you might enjoy the way you see your screen shown with the sentence " Your skill in sense of heading has improved to xxxxxx."

           Acutally this an highly interactive game ,you must always prepare to group with other people in mobs hunting or dungeon exploration.The game system allows you to group with Maximum up to 6 people so far,in the future there will be more in Kunark expanson.If you are invited by other people ,your box on your right will appear the word of "Follow" so that if you press it you will soon join the group of that player.There is always an argument about what level difference would forbid other player to gain much or any XP in the group.Usually the limit is set within 10 lvls, to make it clear I would quote an example.Suppose in the group of 6 players, the highest one is a lvl 20 player, then the lowest limit for the other teamate to gain XP is lvl 10 .Once there is more than 10 lvl difference ,it is very unlikely that the lower lvl player will benefit from the group and I would either suggest the highest one to leave or the lowest one not to join the group.And dont forget there is XP penalty in the game so dont complain if your teamate get faster and more XP than you if you are using Evil race.Besides, Pet might take 1 percent of the XP in the group so dont try to stop people from using pet in the fight because a pet might save all of the teamates life in dangerous situation,they are usually good and helful in taunting and taking damage from player.

           For the part of money, it is also one of the important elements of the game since you need money to do things for various purpose.In daily necessity , you need to buy food and water as in our world life so as to keep your stamina and your regen rate of various stats faster.It is of course a need to use money to buy basic equipment like armour or wepons , there are some elementary equipment in Norrath available at the vendor's shop.You might buy and sell things you want or not there .You can of course use the auction function to sell or buy your wanted items with money .Also, skills at the guild master trainnig also requires money all the time.In some cases , you might find that you have too much of copper or silver so that you are encumbered and suffer from alot of movement limitation.Luckily there is bank system avaliable in the game so that you can go to a near by city and deposit all of your belongings or money into it and you can withdraw them at any time you want from any branch available in Norrath.It is important to know that you can always exchange your copper for silver and silver for pentinum at bank,the service is not charged so that you can always enjoy exchanging your little money into worthier one .

            Lastly , there is something interested for the low lvl players to know.As soon as you find no purpose in the game, you can always go to do Quest given by your guild or any NPC in Norrath.Go to a nearby NPC and press "H" to hail him or her.If he has a response to you ,try to focous on the [ bracket ] content , and repeat what the [ bracket ] key words .There will be more information given by the NPC like what is needed or demanded to finish the job and sometimes the rewards will be mentioned .It is very special that quest takes much importance in the game because good magical equpiment or spell of higher lvls are always only obtainable by finishing a quest or few quests in a row ,therefore players will always find themselves happy and willing to invest their time in the game.
