Oh boy...
- The multiple characters I used to play on Live are repeated here exactly: same class, same facial appearance, same race, and since I role play, the same mannerisms. I have since added a few more characters and they are role played differently too!
- My druid and my wizard will only scribe a circle / gate / portal / ring spell if he or she is either against the center rock (for druid rings) or exact center of the four spires (for wizard portals). This means traveling by foot to reach these destinations first.
- Speaking of spells, I have them organized in groups and in alphabetical order. In fact, I created Excel spread sheets that state where _every_ spell will go by page and slot. Thus as I slowly create my spell books, while some are clumped in front, most are spread across the whole book.
- I keep track of what each character has eaten and drank. I try to rotate their supplies so they are not eating the same item too many times in a row.
- Another set of Excel spread sheets keeps track of my characters' skills and have formulas stating what the maximum amount per level shall be. And another set of spread sheets tracks the various items in their possession.
- My cloth casters have gotten quite proficient in their defensive and offensive combat skills. While not monks, their hand to hand skills are formidable!
- My characters "sell" items between themselves (with the help of my brother being the considerate middleman). That is, my warrior has a rune my wizard would need, the wizard pays coinage to my warrior for that rune! Occasionally, auctions in East Commonlands catch my attention, and being a poor person (trade skill junkie!), I owe my brother's characters for items he has gotten for me too.
- A great majority of my time I play the game in a solo fashion - thus I am moving at a snail's pace through the levels. Occasionally I will group with one of my brother's characters and I will ask him to teach me whatever racial language he possesses.
- While traveling throughout the world, I will steer away from "running through" another player. In my mind, I would not want a collision!
- One player's junk is my newfound treasure! Those meats and skins left lying around on corpses have been and will be put to good use.
Yes, I still enjoy the game because in the grand scheme of things, I have not dented the surface yet. One day, I might adventure on Velious too...!
