Things I have learned in the last few days (for people coming from modern MMOs)

Giving your note to your GM can have very little positive consequence and very bad negative faction hits, depending on your race/class combo. I would say never hand in your note unless you know exactly what you're doing.

I'm with the others on this one. I have never had issues with my characters after handing in the note (and I always hand it in, just for the sake of feeling complete).. I have played a LOT

Can you please elaborate?

Im not sure actually, someone told me this and I figured it would be a good idea to tell people who don't know what's going on. I'll be sure to do my research on it and come back with a more details. Im a fairly new player I expect people here to be telling the truth I don't see how lying helps anyone so I assumed it was true, then again this IS still the internet.

I don't know if he was lying, but he might have been repeating misinformation. Maybe try creating a couple chars and see what faction hits you take for turning in the note? Freeport paladin, Dark Elf SK/Necro (The Dead), and probably good/evil erudites I could see having faction hits for turning in the note.

Of course, the factions that would be negatively impacted would probably already hate you, and I if you did ever want to grind up an opposing faction I think turning in your newb note would be the least of your problems.

FWIW I don't remember the last time I turned in a note. I usually just attack the first guard/priest of discord I see upon character creation for a quick ride to the newb yard.

LOL that's a good idea, Im kinda sick of getting lost in freeport. I think that if your class is evil and your starting city is good it could effect your faction, I'll see as soon as I get home.
