    Default Greetings! :)

    Heya peeps of Istaria. I be Cormyr, a 35 year old husband, and father of an awesome 2 year old boy. Just created a character last night and so far I am liking the game. Camera control takes some getting used to of course, especially since this is my first MMORPG in some time. And yeah graphics are horrid for current times. The world seems to be barren, needs more vegetation in general. But I can ignore that stuff for good game play, crafting, interface etc.. Once I get good at camera control, game play will be a bit better and it will be more fun to kill stuffs etc.. I like how laid back the game is, everything is relaxing, instead of super intense and stressful. I like that.

    As a father I have very limited time to play, I will be on most in the late evening (I am in Mexico city currently, but I am Canadian). If I am playing with someone, and I disappear, please understand. My kid probably woke up or something and due to our situation here, the computer I use is in our room where my son sleeps like 5 feet away. So even typing can be difficult, so again, if I am playing with someone, I may not say much. Just do not take offense. Also, internet in Mexico is horrible... it disconnects daily.

    So ATM I have a lvl 4 human warrior. I will play a bit to see if I want to continue playing this game and spend some money. I have like 20 years of gaming experience and know what I am looking for. So far I like what I see in the community and in the game. Also, from what I can tell, the devs seem to be a good team, who are willing to listen to their community. This is important to me and I think it should be for any dev team.

    Anyways, other than servers being down for my 2nd day, so far so good!

    oh right! currently on Chaos. I figured RP would need too much typing so decided Order would not work for me.

    Thanks LungTien. I got a quick question: does anyone have a youtube channel where they post vids from Istaria?

    Welcome to the game Cormyr. As a fellow father (of a 10 1/2 month old) I can completely understand your lack of time and frequent need to jump up and leave your computer in a split second. Players in-game have frequently seen me disappear on short notice for the very same reason.

    For more vegetation make sure you turn your ground clutter on and extend the draw radius. If you have a good computer you can also push the view distance out quite a bit to give yourself more trees and other objects. If you do find areas that are particularly barren of landscaping even then, please let us know and we'll gladly work to improve it.

    Again, welcome, and enjoy the game!

    Hey there AmonGwareth,

    Thanks for the response! I feel somewhat foolish now haha, I have not looked at the graphics settings in game yet. Unfortunately I am stuck with this dang HP bundle computer with on board graphics.. Once I am back home in Canada (if my wifes sponsorship is accepted anyways...), I will be back on my real computer and be able to max all the settings and experience the game better. For now I will fiddle with the settings, see what can be done.

    Glad to hear/read that players with families are at least tolerated here! But I was somewhat expecting that, seemed like a mature player base for the most part. Another reason I chose to try this game.

    Thanks again! And good luck with the little one, just wait until he/she is 2.. they dont call it the terrible twos for nothing! phew!
