Just as a sidenote, maybe they should make a tutorial which really explains the games functions, since they are so unlike anything else, but that just as a sidenote. A real noob is VERY lost in Britannia, be it not for the many kind players.

Anyways, here is a host of things I wasnt able to figure.

1) How can I travel? I am on this Island Haven or what. (I played the old Ultimas, but I cant for the love of the virtues recall that city.) I have seen several boats, but I cant seem to travel, I went to the Moongate, but I didnt know any of those places, so I didnt use it. I am a Paladin btw. So, maybe someone can describe me travel, please, but please in detail. I got some general answers like "use the tithe on the book", and I had NO idea what a tithe is or what I should do with said book. As I said, I am a total noob, and nothing here is as I know it.

2) I heard I can train skills for coin. How do I do it? I know I can use the phrase "NPC-name train ability", and he says I do it for 100 gold but I was unable to give him them gold. How is this done?

3) Where can I sell loot? I didnt find any vendor, maybe Haven as starter area has none, but is there a NPC I can sell my loot for cash, and how is this made?

4) It seems my armor decays from use, so what NPC repairs it and how?

5) Horses, everyone tell me I need one, so where do I get one cheap starter horse?

6) Where can I learn new skills/attacks/spells? I seem to have some skills and some spells in my book of chivalry, but where can I buy more? Since apparently there are no "levels", what is the mechanics for growing and learning new abilities?

Btw, after a while of playing my mouse pointer is gone. Any advise?

Sorry for the many questions, but UO plays like a sudeko riddle.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM PLAYING UO IS YES THE TUTORIAL IS GOOD PUT YOU ON TRACK BUT THE BEST WAY TO LEARN IS TO MAKE FRIENDS POSSIBLE JOIN A GUILD AND JUST GO GET YOUR FEET WET NO TUTORIAL CAN SHOW YOU THAT

Great questions, and answers. I have reported your experience and questions via feedback to uoherald.com. They are very real weaknesses of the new player experience.

This is incredibly true! UO is one of the more complicated online games, and yet there is almost zero in-game help. You've come to the best place to get answers for your questions though, this forum is a lifesaver!
