New Player Frustration

[ldhfd]

I really didn't want to make a QQ thread. But i think this has to be brought to light.

I just started playing Zodiac. I logged on the server, have absolutely no idea of what i would see. I was plopped into the Unstick me area, given the choice of a class path to take and a sword.

I walk outside, and i am killed by a random player.

So im thinking. Okay, right outside the starting house, are a bunch of pkers, so i need to find another way around. I figured out there were caves connecting to the unstick me house and i found a way around the pker area outside the unstick me house.

I exit the cave, and another player kills me.

Even though i managed to kill liches to gain levels, i am no longer able to gain exp from them. And when i try to venture out to find stronger monsters, other players just kill me and i end up back at the unstick me area.

Plus, none of the monsters i killed dropped any items, or gold, or anything. So i am unable to buy any skills or new weapons. Its a disaster.

I really like the idea of the game, but from my perspective, playing it seems to be too much trouble to deal with.
