    Well its been 8 days now.

    I can hardly say I've more than scratched the surface.
    Compared to several other games I've played like Rift and Aion the world is vast. It is on a scale with game worlds that have taken years and expansions to get there.

    The learning curve is quite steep but the community is very supportive.
    There is a lot of good stuff on the forums here but on the principle that you can't have too much of a good thing I'll throw in a couple of my own discoveries. I'll try and avoid the ones that the main guides go over, like visiting Town Criers for 100g a pop.

    • If double-click isn't working for you - use "E"
    • Sometimes you have to wait a bit for rewards, especially if your rig is laggy.
    • Spells like Light work in the World Map too. Don't wander about in the dark.
    • There are two types of encounter on the World Map :- Scenes you can choose to enter marked by skull-poles, and wandering mobs who force you into a scene.
    • You can dodge the second type of World Map encounters by going offroad
    • www.Sotamap.com is wonderful. If it had been around 15 years ago I wouldn't have had to keep a ring-binder of printed maps by my elbow.
    • Use the compass. It can help a lot.
    • sotawiki.net is very helpful but remember the game is WIP. Just because sotawiki says the only lemon seller is in Owl's Head don't make it so today.
    • Crafting stations are there to be used.
    • There are a lot of helpful people in the game.
    • You are not bound anywhere by default so bind in your first town until you find somewhere more useful, Otherwise you could end up on the other side of the world clicking your recall scroll and cursing......

    I expect there are more I'll think of but these will do for a start :)

    if you see stags or herding dogs, they won't approach you and force you, but you can force them.
