Siege also has NEW guild with a continual influx of *immigrants* from other shards starting over on Siege. Shalimar is the GM of NEW guild. They have a keep near Brit north of it all. NEW guild is only good for 30 days but it is a way to meet other new arrivals and to hang out with them in the NEW guild house.
Shalimar's icq number is in Siege Facts etc. the sticky threads atop the Stratics Siege forum.
Resources sell oft folks post it on Stratics Siege forum, selling cloth bolts 350gp per, leathers, etc. to begin to make their first gp on Siege and of course slaying mongbats, lizardmen and upwards as their skills grow. Waste nothing, use it all or sell it. If ya kill a cow cut the hides up those will sell, if ya kill a lizardman cut the hides up those too sell to other players on Siege. Wool never pass it up, 350 gp a cloth bolt you can earn your first 5k quite easily just selling cloth bolts to others on Siege.
There is no New Haven, we have no trammel to get that city, ours is old Ocllo.
It is all a fel ruleset malas, se lands old world lands etc. fel ruleset all of it.
Travel the land hit all the moongates tour *Luna* oft called our ghetto ...get killed say hello to those whom you encounter etc. and you will end up making friends and possibly future guild mates.
There is no insurance, there is the *one item* bless on Siege, many folks sport 120 tailoring legendary barbed outfits for their armor ..easily replaced no biggie if lost or cut up or drylooted etc. If there truely is some item that you may acquire that is high end costly, until you can *defend it* you may opt to just leave it in your bank, or use your one item siege bless on that item, but unless one is going to pvp and till one is GOOD at pvp the wep however fancy won't really save ye butt anyhow so save it till you CAN use it effectively should you come into some artie pricey whatevers that you may need or want as you become skilled.
*most of my chrs. on Siege play assorted crafter types with one stealthing ninja archer template but I do not pvp there* *connection too slow anyhow.
IF ya wish to be entertained DO hit some banks, watch those that are not paying attention loose their stuff out of their backpack due to nimble fingered thieves...tis oft hightly entertaining to see some gasp as they discover they been stolen from by some bank or wherever.
