Things I would need to know

[MarshallDFX]

So I've not played in about 5 years.  What all would I need to know/review to hit the ground running?

Any sage advice for staying alive in the 22nd age?

Make sure to punch every templar you see in the flaps.

(Dont do this, unless you want laughs at how dead it will make you.)

Tuluk is closed.
Magik guilds are now subs.
Banking system was changed.
Lots more.

Welcome back,

The Chronology page is pretty up-to-date with major world-affecting events. Not local-level politics and other nitty gritty, of course, but it has all the big things.

I guess there's been a change to Flee in the last five years that can be pretty brutal to returning players? Fleeing most enemies (except those with "Mercy: Flee On") will provoke an attack of opportunity on you.

Tuluk is closed.

At last!

seriously?!

[Barsook]

Yes.

Hey, I remember you!  Welcome back!

As far as gameplay/game world...there shouldn't be much to keep you from getting in and getting going.  There are less clans than there used to be for you to choose from (much to my chagrin), but everything should seem pretty familiar to you.

I'm not sure if this is something you missed that you should know, but the flee skill now keeps you from getting attacked when you run away from a fight. So depending on what kind of characters you play, when you are new, play much more conservatively as far as combat than you're used to.  The whole 'work at maxing skills before doing anything dangerous' has become a supported, reinforced, and required mentality via expectations and code changes to the game, if you're looking to engage in combat.

There is still Morins which is spitting distance to the west of Tuluk.

So you can hug trees from there as your home base.

My only complaint about Morins is it is drought or flood last time I tried to play there.

Sometimes you have a bunch of interesting people. Others it's single player arm with npcs.
