i have the same experince in the ingame mail management- specifically what makes the whole thing crash is, in my case, the sorting cloud. works perfectly fine in firefox, but firefox is then slower in my experience on everything else. more than a MD bug, is an ajax/chrome bug i guess. would be nice to be able to switch off the sorting cloud in some kind of "options panel"

*shrugs* indeed i'm not the patient type, when it comes to exploring XD but the topic is devoted to what might scare off the noobs... in my case, my asnwer is that AP really got me frustrated,particualrly because my real life is quite hectic, and finding myself having to accomodate extra time for ap regens has been a proper turn-off. as it frustrated me, it might make somebody else leave. Simply sharing this for the comunity to know, and bosses to know, it's obviously their decision whether to act about it, or whether the fact that some things ,in game as in life, take a certain amount of waiting for "the right time". My opinion is that as i'm approaching this game, some knowledge might take time to sift in my brain and make the correct connections. That timing i'm bond to respect (i quite enjoy the fact that those who created this world made it smart enough to be hard to grasp); The time it will take me to figure out things will most likely define how long it will take me to understand some deeper/more hidden bits, and secrets... a bit like a riddle, that one struggles to figure out until it suddenly makes sense. or one might never find the right answer, if looking in the wrong direction. But what if i figure out an answer and i'm out of AP to hand it in.. Edit: PS: but if i'm "too young" as a charater to wander in the wilderness, than i should also not hit that easilly the mp3 exp cap, nor max honor. And i'm not trying to brag about it, but trying to point out that there is a sync issue there, from my perspective.

@chew: mmh i think it's 1 ap every 2nd day. after 16 days activity , now i have a mighty 108AP, MDA gates is 200 ap-viscosity(78 if i am not mistaken)

[b]@Kyphis-[/b] i have been trying all sorts of things about the ap bonus from free credits... even switching from 1 browser to another and gettgin my ve and ap down beforehand. true that i didnt' try to time it out with the timer. thx, i'll give it a go! [b]@Pipstickz- [/b] i figured i'd do exactly that [i]i stil would like that my proposition to the makers about a permanent booster of 30 ap for 1$ to be taken in account tho...[/i] it wouldn't affect older chars, but would make a hell of a difference in the gameplay of noobs. the beginning is a constant wait for ap(when buying creatures, when exploring..etc). I don't think it would spoil the fun; it would give few extra $ income to admin; from a player's perspective in r.l. sense- if for compellent r.l. reasons, on a specific day i(a noob player) can be online only 30mins, i'd really hate wasting 10 of them on waiting for an AP recharge..i've run out of ap even out of fighting once... wouldn't make puzzles "simpler", or the game "commercial" i think.

.. my experince of the issues of the beginnings(that did not manage to scare me away, but it wasn't too far off) [b]-i had no issues with the beginning story. [/b] it sets a frame, a "myth", in which than the MD world is enveloped. In fact, after reading few more posts and threads on this forum,[i] i think some texts in the beginning story- their specific wording- should be tweaked into a more neutral description[/i] of the scenes. (In some sense it feels to me that darkness, as in life, isn't necessary evil, but also something else. in the same way, light isnt' necessary reassuring pure goodness). [i]that is obviously up to the makers of the "game".[/i] [b]-i have constant issues with no bonuses being awarded withthe free credit votes(and i desperately need AP!)[/b] This is serious: fyrd's quest, Prince rhaegar's one, and also another one(don't remember precisely the name now, but it involves typing the names of kings of the territories in various places) all request me to go through MDA gates, and i cant' pass. i shoudl wait another 30 days or so to pass through that, gate unless i get awarded the extra AP. Same also true for the lands at the east(but it might be wanted as higher level players' zone. [i]My advice to admin is: add an item in the MDshop, available from the start- 1$ for 30 extra AP(i would buy it straight off!!).. woudl make the game SOO much more enjoyable. OR lower the ap requirements for the MDA gates..[/i](it got me super frustrated) I solved what i could in MP3 before hitting the xp cap. have also been lucky enough to get a sneak peek to necro and loreroot for halloween right after joining(that was exciting and probably a big advantage with creatures), managed to find my ways to keep the balance of losses/wins and while hitting max honor. I have now passed to mp4 NOT BECAUSE I COULDN'T STAY IN MP3 but BECAUSE I CAN'T PASS MDA GATES FOR ANOTHER 30 DAYS AND I CAN'T GROW OTHER CREATURES AS THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STORE HEAT SINCE I HIT THE CAP. Some "older" players told me there are many things to do while being mp3.. but i havent' spotted them, in the territory available to me so far. I don't know if they're well hidden and i just didnt' look deep enough, or simply not accessible with my ap. i don't know if i'm not being told about them because it woudl be a spoiler. but the result is=> =>my reasoning (rough and un-moderated): "If i have to wait 30 days to pass the mda gates, i can wait for them in story mode putting 24 hours meditations at every page...that way also my creatures will get the few days of age they need to evolve". i felt left without any other sensible option. Right now there is the "research and connections" thing going on, which got me interested and i will partecipate(but that wouldn't make me stay mp3). ...but for the future newcomers, prolly making mp3 more accessible (in practical terms-AP most of all) would be a good thing. Looking forward to have the chance to get more intrigued with the relating the rabbit hole, it's inhabitants and the projections of the world outside the cave ;o)
