The forest is foggy and gray and very easy to get lost in. The city is a deathtrap for beginning players too. Falling out of the city to your death on the forest floor is an everyday occurrence in Kelethin. Interestingly, the female characters appear with considerably less clothing than their male counterparts. For example, male wood elves arrive in the world wearing something like pajamas with a pine tree motif.
Females show up in a green bikini that leaves little to the imagination.
A newbie character will spend a few hours whacking bats, snakes, skeletons, and giant wasps and turning in their various and sundry body parts for a handful of coins, usually a few copper or silver pieces. The goal is to collect enough money to buy better weapons and armor, thus increasing survivability. The game world is also a massive chat room. You can shout to everyone in your zone, speak to everyone in your vicinity, converse with those grouped with you, or send a private message to anyone on your server. You can also emote a text message describing some action your character has performed and even aim it at a subject.
