It was actually much longer than that ...something like IzthisnamelongenoughgeeIdontthinkso.
To the rest of you...good luck with your polymorphed monsters.
...and you should advisably have at least one or two other friends with you.
In any case, the difficulty of the server is intentional, but I suppose it would be a good idea to have these things explained to you either upon logging on for the first time, or have a kind of "welcome"-letter sent to you when your first character is approved, with some basic suggestions on where to go and how you should play in a group rather than to go out on your own. "Welcome to Layonara! Good starting areas for new characters are the sewers in Port Hempstead, or the Kobolds outside town. Keep in mind, however, that you stand little chance of surviving either encounter if you are on your own. Our advice to you is to start familiarizing yourself with the city and its inhabitants a bit, in order to find friends who can help you with these quests."
Great idea thanks, I have copied your text and will use it when approving new PCs for new players.
Or CNR to gather to introduce them to the craft system, like find cotton, silk, barley, etc.
