I realize this is a heavy RP server, and I do like the RP quality that is here. I enjoy IC chit chatting, but I don't particularly like burning 1-3 hours in Hlint doing it. When I play during the weekdays, I may only have 1-3 hours to play, and I would like to feel like I'm accomplishing something more often than a short patrol every so often.
Now, I have been getting curious if there are certain areas in Layonara [cities, forts, continents] where the PCs are more prone to go out and patrol/adventure/quest/whatever. The large majority of my short time playing here has been in the region fairly close to Hlint, and I've noticed that many people are not in town very often, and when they are they are mostly interested in chit chatting [IC of course]. Normally I would just wander off alone or with whoever wanted to wander, but I've noticed that at Agron's somewhat low level, He needs to be in a fairly decent sized group to be able to go almost anywhere aside from the red light caverns and a short way into the Sielwood without getting killed. Even in those two areas he would do very poorly alone or in a group of less than 3-4 similarly experienced characters.
Again, I realize that the server's emphasis is RP, but this is still a d&d-esque world, and there is a whole lot more to do than sit around and talk to eachother. This is only partially on topic with the rest of the post, but I remember reading somewhere in the getting started area that a fairly active player could reach level 12 in about a week. I'm assuming the circumstances that was stated under have changed, as I've played nearly every day since I started [just under a month ago] and have only made it into 7th level. I'm not complaining either way, because I understand that levelling up isn't the main focus here. I'm just wondering if i'm missing something that could allow me to get more out of the server than I am.
apologies for the long rant
