The Trials and Tribulations of LostKnight

[LostKnight]

Thanks Leone. Doing my part as best I can. I now see 2 people that I helped in earlier game play, there are probably more¹ that have surpassed me in levels. But my interest in playing - levelling up, collecting gold - keeps getting derailed to help the newer players.
Old True Memory: My wife getting upset at me, "I hate that about you, you'll give someone the shirt off your back if you think they need it more than you!"
"Only if I know they are in REAL need or if I know I can easily replace it." Guess that attitude is showing up here too.

I'd probably have double or triple the gold I have is I wasn't as generous as I am. But I'm at the stage mow that I realize soon I'll me dealing in millions so time to slow down a bit

I've noticed even at Castle M (Mertal?)¹ that I'm a bit too much (73) as well. So next time I'll just go and tank there too. In my early game play I had no idea where Castle M was and I kept getting Ashdown² and K-Village¹ mixed up. Kept wanting to type Kensington after the 70's Cdn TV series The King of Kensington. But, once I was in the Ashdown Store when the attach hit, I was low enough to enjoy the fray and reap the benefits, next time I saw the system notice I made a beeline for Ashdown and saw some higher level player 'tanking' (didn't know that word then) for us. So you see, I learned for watching the actions of others.

¹ - it's an age thing - memory is working at 100% - it's the recall part that's dropping in percentile.
² - This I remember for personal reasons (and they are not at all good) and Ashdown game play is helping to change that.

Yesterday some kind player gave me three really nice pieces of equipment, with a "Sell those" Withe a "TY and a PM "Do I know you?" the response was "No, you don't" Today I can't even recall the persona name BUT, one of those pieces has my name on it, the second is going to someone who is getting me a piece of gear at 1/2 the price - for a straight trade. The third will go to someone I think deserves it as I do my daily travels.

I'm also doing some mining for one of those friends that has surpassed me in lvl's (76) to make an iron plate for me so it will be in my inventory when I hit (75)

I know that you don't want to be told everything in the game; it would spoil it.
Some things, you don't mind a little help... and if you're stuck, I'm sure you'll ask.

Don't forget the General Information forum.
Lots of info there.... constantly a work in progress...
Some you may want to know, some you may not.

But one that you may find useful, without spoiling too much is
World Map and main Points of Interest

It may even help you with village names

Right don't want to be told everything, but occasionally someone stops you/or your stop someone on the street and ask something like "Excuse me. Where's the train station?" Interestingly enough, I have the older versions of the maps (see ardesia's link) and have edited the clan area co-ords to grey. Thank you ardesia for the new one - much better looking.

The list of what's where is now a WhatsWhere.txt file here

I've browsed through the General information area a few times as well, however I have not even clicked on "Walkthrough" although the temptation is there, I fight it.

Last but not least, there’s a map you might wish never to visit: the Jail - a small room with no way out without GM assistance; if you end up here, you should contact a GM via forum PM. You may have a message on your game account telling you exactly who to contact; you should check that first.

My problem is - if I'm looking for something I might get nailed as afk - so when I do that I always make sure I'm in a no action area, glancing at tablet on occasion to make sure I'm not being run over by a herd of enemies as a weaker enemy is running for his life. Although one I saw a weaker player stop when he saw the enemies where swarming around me. Cautiously approaching and began attacking. Never said a word.
1.0 area skeletons et al

What a good night I had, filled my backpack with health twice, and was totally alone with the red mummies. Just standing in the auto-spawn spot. The mummies just kept coming, pants would pop up, use a health, collect the pants, filled every spot available in backpack that way. Then another friend that started about the same time as I did - one of my earliest friends - took me to BlitzBee - not the way I remember. Are there two ways to get there? Must be an age thing. Got my lvl 75 helmet and now I'm pretty well decked out. Gotta start collect in 85, 90 or 100 equipment. I thought I bought the lvl 85 helmet as well but must have clicked on the X instead as we were leaving. Hey next time. Wood plank huh.

Thank you for this Mad & ardesia for the better map.

OK, so where is this jail? I want to bust out my buddy, Blind As a Bat Magoo. He's a paranoid bat
He really didn't mean to shoot all those people on Halloween, he though they were the ghosts and goblins that accompany Death and they were coming for him. Some day I gotta put sponge practice arrows in his quiver, he's a danger to himself.

Ahhhhhhhhh new quest: Find: Blind As a Bat Magoo (a bat with a bow of course); and send him to jail! When you find him two guys appear on either side of him and {blink} gone!

Prize: ???

Thank you as well: it's so good to be told about it when someone appreciates something you've done

I hope you noticed the "WhatsWhere.txt" that's a thank you too

[ardesia]

I hope you noticed the "WhatsWhere.txt" that's a thank you too

I did

[MadMikael]

Haha...
I'm glad you're having a good experience.
And ardesia says it best - we do appreciate knowing when we've helped someone - whether in a big way or small, that's why we do this.

As for jail...
We don't offer visitations.
Only two types of accounts go there - GMs, and "residents" (aka players with strong violations of a rule).
I don't encourage anyone to try and go see it by joining the second group....
It will go on your permanent record.... and will increase your next visit dramatically if you go there again.

There was a screenshot posted on forum somewhere long ago....
I'm tempted to add one as well, as the new players sometimes think that the jail map is just a rumour.
It's no secret that the map exists... and enough players have taken screenshots during their stay.

Nice pic.

BTW I was only joking about Blind as a bat Magoo and breaking him out.
