Will you stay and adventure close to the first node you find? Or will you head out, 'far' away from the starting area to find the type of node you really want and begin its advancement?

    For me it totally depends on the information we might still get from the dev team. I'm not expecting much information though since they want us to figure it out our self, but stuff like how Shipbuilding and sailing will look like and feel like. I like the idea of a node near the ocean.

    I think when the game launches i will try to get away from the starting location at first, and explore that area later when it's a bit less crowded over there.

    I'd really love an economic node for the trading aspect, so my current plan is to advance the beginning node if it is an economic one. However, if it is not, I may grab a few levels and the tools I need and head out to the great unknown.

    I hope to start the coins flowing with helping to advance the economic node to the village level:
    Markets in Village level economic nodes have auction houses that allow raw resources and processed goods to be posted.[1]

    yes, of course this will depend a lot on what we see alpha1, 2 and the betas :)

    ok, let me translate :)

    Damokles, as a dwarf character, pick up the mining skill, with some equipment from the starting area, explore the Underrealm in search of ore...nice

    You can take that ore to 'my' village economic node and sell it for high profit!

    Damokles, as a Tulnar explorer will "pick up the mining skill, with some equipment from the starting area, explore the Underrealm in search of ore" to use said ores and gems to make beautifull trinkets and gems.

    I think I'll be heading to a big island that has a nice beach and plenty of places to go fishing.

    I am really wondering about that. I've seen multiple people on the forums who already want to head for an island when they game launches. One might wonder if there is any space left lol.

    Also one of the reasons I will probably not go to an island at first.

    Meet up with my guild and level a node together.

    I'm probably going Py'Rai, so on my first day I'll probably stick around our forest node to make sure we have a homeland/village since architecture is going to be influenced by the races that quest there. Then, you know, explore, at a reasonable pace hopefully(?), and try to take time to immerse myself and not to rush through things too fast.

    I will be exploring and probably going too far and getting my ass killed by some much higher level mobs......repeatedly.

    Wherever the Elven lands ancestrial castle is and help develop the glorious Empryean Empire to be.


    And hopefully either start up, or join a band of Melee magic warriors that will be (preferably elven) and create a elven force of magic wielders that will generate the Architectual style of the elves into a metropolis.

    I will be participating in the red march event. Slaughtering any and all players outside of the safe zone for 1 hour.

    I think that the best way or maybe one of the way to resolve this is giving to the player a "push" to the zone or node he want to be ... maybe with a caravan or expedition ... so you will start your journey directly in the node or near the destitation ... you will probably start into an already developed node .. a city for example.
    Every node that has already been colonized will ask to the starting area for new people and then recruit you... but if you are ugly you need to start a node all by yourself probably xD .

    is this correct? What do you think of this way to start the player into the game?

    umm...so, you are going for corruption? you going the outlaw route eh? :) I'll be sure not to start gathering too many things early on near the starter area.

    I have no idea.

    I like to wander. I like costal forests and mountain vistas.

    I want a t6 military node in that setting.

    Sure there's a possibility noob zergs will build the bigger cities by the starting zones.

    It will be very satisfying to tear them all down.

    All roads lead to Ren.

    Wherever there’s some kinda forested area, near rivers or a large lake or something. Maybe the coast depending on what else is nearby.

    It's going to be like the Oklahoma Land Rush, of 1889, with all the Sooners racing for their claims on nodes, with a few drunks hanging out in the starter nodes. Yee Haw!!1!
