[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Topic: Interested in coming back, but have a few questions..

	If I am in the wrong forum, please forgive me and direct me where I need to post. I left back when AC2 came out and had a few questions since then. 1. Don't have original CD anymore and was wondering what all I would need to play again. 2. How easy is leveling. Back in the day, it would take a week of gameplay to get from 50 - 51. If I played around 2 hours a night, how well would I do in leveling? 3. Do you still loose gear you need when you die? 4. How is the game when it comes to having 2 or 3 friends coming back. Is there dungeons that we'll be able to run to keep us interested. 5. Is leveling just a grind like it use to be? Mindless botting just to level? 6. Is there a level cap? These are the basic questions we are looking to get answered. If anyone could help us out by answering them, it would be a great help. Thanks! -----signature-----

Backward Title: The Chosen One Posts: 5,045 Registered: Aug 14, '01 Extended Info (if available) Real Post Cnt: 4,856 User ID: 321,537	Subject: Interested in coming back, but have a few questions..
	The front end of the game has changed a ton. And by that I mean the pre-level 50 stuff. Experience is handed out like candy in large quantities for all sorts of quests and other stuff, there's a ton of simple ways right at the start to get pretty decent armor and weapons. Level cap was raised from 126 to 275. There are some different low level death rules, but yeah eventually you are at danger of dropping important items. -----signature----- Atlantes of Frostfell Formerly known as Backward, The Chosen One, Perdition, and Emmerich of WintersEbb

	1. You dont need any CD's its all downloadable. 2. Now days leveling is rather easy you can grind in a dungeon or do quests that will give you big chunks of experience but will have timers. 1-50 is pretty much given to you by doing quests in the beginning. 50-100 seem to go by pretty fast also, 100+ i feel like it slows down, but its still fairly easy to get a lvl each time i log in, or multiple levels if doing quests. 3. When you die, you usually lose some of your most valuable items, but these days they have have crafting skills that allow you to retain most of your items on death. Even if you die, its not that big of a job to recover a corpse. You do get coordinates now if you die above land, not like the old days where you needed to run around until you found it. 4. Again theres so many more quests than there were back in the day, each month brought more and more. Some are solo quests others require a group. once you reach I believe 50 or 55 you may group with other people between 50-275 and still gain experience. so if your friends play more than you, you will still be able to group with them if their higher level than you. Some dungeons and quests are level restricted so you will have to gain levels to afvance with them. 5. some people bot, you dont have to though. 6. level cap is 275, but you still gain exp after that even, and theres augmentations and things to keep you going. Join frostfell, its one of the more busy servers and theres some really good allegiances out there. Msg me if your on, My main is "Thugs" I'll try to hook you up with some items. -----signature-----

	Pardon the add-on to the original post: I just came back as well, and having a bit of an issues; I hope someone has a suggestion or two. Running under Win7 64bit at 25xx by 1600 and having some graphical issues. I can't seem to get the 'quickbar' to show up, nor see loot boxes for dead critters. Running a Nvidia card with the latest drivers and I tried a few different resolutions, but no go. Thanks! -----signature-----

	http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Returning_Player_Guide Check out these guides for leveling info and you will see that you could grind but there are many quests you can do to stay away from grinding. -----signature-----
