Realm of the Mad God

2 deaths later, Note to self sprite god is BAAAAAAAAD.

so when can i use another class?

You have to get to level 5+ in the first class and die. Repeat with that class you unlocked until you unlock the 5 base classes.

The advanced classes are a little harder, requiring level 20 in certain classes...

If it didn't cost so much, I would suggest we make a guild.

The payment system of ROTMG is a little ludicrous and not really worth it.

which is a shame because a troper guild would be bitchin'

Well, if someone could rack up a thousand fame, that would be great.

Do you ever get the feeling that this game's drop system is mocking you? I swear I keep seeing bags of Force Wands dropped by killed enemies... as a Knight. All while my pitiful looking wooden shield sits mournfully in my special slot.

In other news, the Crystal Prisoner hurts. A lot. I lost my level 20 warrior to him.

Playing the game now, it's amazing to see how far it's come since it's Assemblee days.

Yeah, that's one thing I hate about the drop system. Because there are so many classes, getting the right subweapon is a bitch and a half...

It's especially painful since I kept seeing iron shields when I was playing my Warrior, but now they seem to have disappeared completely. Ah well. I shall just have to tap into my inner masochist and persevere.

If you find a weapon you really want for a different class, you could store it in the Vault at Nexus. But that's assuming you don't have more important things there already... So it's a question of priorities there.

That's what I'm doing now, but I wasn't really aware of the Vault until I started rolling with my Knight. But hey, now I'm prepared for when I go Paladin.

Also, I'm gathering up fame to make a guild for us. Currently at about 150+ so far.

How much fame does a Guild require, again?

One thousand, I do believe.

I'm just seeing how high I can get before I get bored. Way away from level 20.

Is a Guild creator required to play the game on a regular basis? I have enough fame to chip in on this, but I don't play all that often.

-And holy cow, there's a lot of lag when the Nexus has hundreds of players sitting around...

The guild founder doesn't have to play regularly.

I have an account there called Iorvet. I am unable to reach level 20, at 10+ I succumb to the temptation of fighting higher level monsters and die (and the only time I stayed with the correct monsters I was teleported to Oryx' Castle)

When it got to Steam, I gave it a try. I love this game. Any MMO-ish game where death is permanent for your character is good on my book, plus, I love shooters (though I don't think I've gotten far enough to say it feels like a Bullet Hell shooter, which is what it's advertised as on the Steam page, then again, I often die at level 5 or so :/ ), that being said, I suck Hard.

My only complaint is that I get a lot of lag from the severs, not the game itself, but the server. Maybe it's because of where I live, though.

Kinda wish there was a volume control, though. I'm normally on skype and the feedback from the game is aggravating on the other side.

Death at level 5 is really pretty low. Of course, you've only just begun, and you'll get better in time. The higher level monsters attack in ways that really do feel like bullet hell patterns. If your only goal with a character is to reach level 20 in order to get toward unlocking the other classes, just play it safe and jump on a train. (Ask around in a Realm if you need to know more). You'll probably never advance beyond the starting equipment, but you will eventually hit 20. Another major protip: if you find some really good equipment that your character cannot use, pick it up anyways, and gate back to the nexus at some point. While there, enter the vault (at the south of the fortress) and drop that item into the chest you get for free. Whenever you start a character that can use that item, grab it before you head out and you'll be able to advance faster due to higher damage output/better abilities.

So hey. This game. I used to play it a while ago. And now that it's on Steam, I'm picking it up again. Is there a Troper Guild yet, or should I make one? I really don't know how those work, but I could run one if people want. I have 1200 fame, a level 20 priest, and a level 20 Assassin.

I can open a new guild if wished, I have around 3k fame, (original amount: 26k). Yeah, I bought two amulets. I've also played since build 108, if you need any info.
