After running aroung targetless, I found out how to raise the level and I’m really surprised that you have to do it yourself. But I’m sure it makes perfect sense. So I reached level 7 and spent quite some job points. Finally I was bored and I phoned a friend and asked him what to do next. He then introduced me to Quests. At that time I stood right before that temple and so I went to the lady, as described, with orange letters above her head. I klicked her and she said something along the lines: “I am not responsible for you so I won’t give you any Quests”. Bitch!

I went and I managed to find the place where I started. I talked to the guy and he gave me some Quests. they were no-brainers and I finished real fast. He sent me off to some woman. I found her on a hill and she gave me some Quests too. they were a breeze because I was at level 7 already and so I had already done all the stuff. Her final Quest was to collect some items and bring them to some guy in the training camp. Since I had been to the training camp for and unpleasantly long time (because I didn’t find my way out…) I found him immediately.

I figure that these first Quests are just like an obligatory tutorial. I’m curious what my next Quest will be.

After one week of desperately trying to get the game running in several virtual machines, I decided to intsall Windows natively. On a Mac.

The story begins like this: I am what you would call a geek. I love programming, developing software, web development and the internet. As I try to be productive on my computer, I rarely play ANY games. The only game installed on my Laptop and Computer was chess. It’s sort of a 3D chess but you could only move things by voice commands, which makes the game unplayable.

Then, one day I saw some of my friends in school play this good-looking game and I asked what it was. I found out that it was an online game and I too thought it would be fun to play. I just had to install it, which brouht up quite some problems. The big problem was that I am on Mac OS X and Rappelz runs on Windows only. so I installed Windows in a virtual Machine but it didn’t really work. Then I tried out another Virtual machine. I created a character on another friend’s computer. After trying out every virtual machine I could think of, I ended up running Windows natively.

And here I am, playing Rappelz with excellent graphics and I can see everything and it runs really fast.

So….where am I actually? Michael showed me how to kill those animals and I killed some creepy-looking animal and my Avatar began to shine and I reached level 1! Unfortunately, the only thing I know is how to move and kill animals (Remember, I never played this kind of game ever before).

What would an intelligent person try to do? Download tutorial videos of course. I downloaded all of them and currently, watching them an I try to do all these things they show me.

I hope I get to see all those nice places soon!
