hello, im very new to this game,....as of about 20 minutes ago, and i tried to download the game...but when it's downloading the files.... it's moving...but nothing's happening, anyone help?

[craiyzee]

Just give it time
Its a big download, if I remember correctly

[RoBiN-hOoD]

well..it's not telling where or from the files are being downloaded to and from, and nothing's happening...do you think a computer with 191 mbs of ram and 689 mhz will run this game? if not im getting a computer with 1gig of ram and about 1.4k ghz for x mas

[Angelwinged_Devil]

um sorry robin, I don't think that's enough sorry, but that other one sounds almost like the one I'm using just with double as much ram and this is a laptop.

Also there's a sticky with links to a lot of helpful threads for you that you'll probably like

Yup, there is a realm chat. A general chat (I think it worked out to be a 60m range). A clan chat (if you have one). And a party chat (If you happen to be in one). Plus private chats

Regnum is a class based, combat based game. There are not a variety of skills in the way you'd know from runescape, and you're limited to what weapons your class can equip.

You gain experience for each kill based on how much you contributed to the kill, you level up when you get enough experience. There are trainer npcs who will level up the skill trees your class has available to you. Every two levels you can put another level into a skill tree... Every two levels of the skill tree, you get a new skill.

For example, if you choose archer as your class, you can go into either long bows or short bows for weapons. Long bows are slower, have higher range and higher damage. Short are faster, lower range, lower damage.
You have a skill tree for each weapon type you equip. The powers in this tree can ONLY be used if you have the correct weapon equipped.

Long bows, you start with the "Shield piercing skill", which does fairly good damage. Then the next skill you get (at level 5, level 3 in long bows) will be parabolic shot, which increases your range temporarily.

You also get extra skill trees, depending how many weapons your class has. Mages get 3 extra becuase they only have one weapon type, archers get 2 extra, warriors only get 1.

At level 10, you choose a subclass, for archers this is either hunter or marksman. With your subclass, you get two more, subclass-specific skill trees. (Generally people will just talk about subclasses as "class").

You can train OUT of your skill trees at any time by typing /reset_powers, but you can't change your class or subclass, you're stuck with what you pick.

On weapon variety, there's a new weapon type every few levels, different weapons have different advantages/disadvantages, and you can pick up weapons that have bonuses to some character stats, or some of the weapons stats. This is the same for armor... Both are class and/or subclass specific.

Oh yeah, also. Healing is done by conjurers who have healing spells, or sitting down which puts health/mana regeneration up. You will regain health slowly, but not being in combat mode, not moving and resting all speed it up.

Archer's are available to most races, Archer can multiclass at lvl 10 to Marksman or Hunter. 2 weapon of choice long or short bows. (composite or not its still either a short or long bow ) Many quests to do, and the graphics look similar to runescape on low so you can imagine the game at its best
