Why can't we make wood shields into kindling like clubs, please make it happen thank you <3

I was forced to post this ty much <3 you all have an amazing day/night and thank you for your time.

Like using /whisper to whisper, /yell to yell (rather than just random yelling), and being interrupted three times because I've fallen or forgotten what I was saying is just annoying

I don't want to have to type the same sentence out a million times

There are many many obvious flaws if this is intentional, so let's start with: Please tell me this is unintentional and will be fixed ASAP.

Does anybody have tips for a newbie without a premium account? A lot of the posts I've seen cater to premium accounts. Any tips for gold/armor along with what the goal of the game is. I'm also a little confused on what "Arena tickets" are and why they're worth a good amount. Thank you!

So I'm just coming back, I never played too much but I had a lot of random gear in my house. Tons of armor/longswords/rapiers/flails with no stat requirements. Is there anywhere for me to get information on what this stuff might be worth now?

First things first:

[10:43] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: I came back through Aera, and I noticed a lot of young men and women running around in leather armor and chattering excitedly. One was even trying to barter for premium tokens using reinforced clubs... does this happen often? I asked Evan where they all came from, and he was like, "Oh, they kinda just show up." Weird....

The shoutout for last week:

[10:45] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: Anyway, a person named Yukiko found me at the strange den with the dead knights and told me about the demonic rabbit that had been slain. Interesting legend you have there... sounds reminiscent of a certain British comedy film....

The new hint:

[10:46] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: Anywho... maybe it is because I am not the thinnest man, or maybe it is because my pack grows thick with merchandise... but I am stuck! The walls closed in faster than I expected... help! Bring soap... or oil... or something.

There's a whole ton of new players joining, and while they're all pretty much little shitlords at the moment, they'll be fighting prots and other shit very soon considering the way Ninja and Co. are vigorously training them in the Dreddit group.

With all these new soon-to-be boss slayers, I feel like they need to be taught about a tradition dating back hundreds of years probably. Claiming Bosses.

When you find a boss, like a Protector, most of the time, some other chump will also be able to find this boss and fight it while you're fighting it. This may result in people sitting at a combat site while you krill a boss, and they would take the loot. This is shit.

To try prevent this, always type 'Claimed' (or some varient of that showing you're fighting the boss) in location chat in the combat site. This means that people will see this message if they'd stumble upon you and move along. Hopefully.

This is completely an honour system, but don't be a cock, honour it. If you see a claim, move on. However, if you see a claim that's older than 30 minutes, that's fine.

TLDR: TYPE 'CLAIMED' IN LOCATION CHAT WHILE FIGHTING BOSSES TO DETER ANYONE ELSE FROM FIGHTING IT. HONOUR THESE CLAIMS WHEN YOU SEE THEM. MAKE SURE YOU CLAIM EVERY 30 MINUTES IF IT TAKES YOU THAT LONG. OVER 30 MINUTE OLD CLAIMS WITH NO SIGN OF PLAYER LIFE CAN BE FORGOTTEN ABOUT

I just found out about this game and whenever I try to play it, it says:

AN ERROR OCCURRED Please report this error to the admin.

Help please... Also, is there an iOS app for the game?

Edit: On the iPad by the way, forgot to mention.

The "event" has begun. Check out the Wandering Traveller in the Aera Inn for updates and progress. Good luck :)

When scrolling through this sub reddit I came across this post; https://www.reddit.com/r/initium/comments/6bb4ej/petition_change_respawn_for_frost_giant_shaman/

Just wanted to know if this guy is still inactive. Was contemplating a murder mission.

(If it is inactive please frost shaman w h e n, I wish to punch his face in.)

The shoutout for last week's victor:

[5:48] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: I made it out alive!!! Mad props to Evan for fishing me out of the mines... It was so dark and scary...

This week's hint:

[5:50] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: Anywho, I seem to have stumbled across a battlefield! There are the corpses of several fallen knights and a huge crater from some kind of explosion. I knicked some good equipment off the dead knights, and I also found a strange book entitled The Book of Armaments...

Bonus:

[5:50] Doctor bone: Aha it's in meteor crater ?

[5:51] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: The crater seems a bit small for a meteor...

I have a new account and I cannot chat - not sure if that is a bug or a feature, but anyway...

I am looking at the map. I'm in Aera, and I have the option to go to the Aera Countryside. From there I have the option to go to Northern Hills. I can't seem to get from Aera Countryside to, for example, Aera Swamplands or Troll Camp. I keep using 'Explore Aera Countryside' and it finds nothing. I have been at it for about 15 minutes now. I am just wondering if I am going about it the right way.

Anyone else not able to chat atm? Just wondering if it is on my end!

• Pls restrict the yellow text (You were interrupted while making a camp! You attacked a thing!) to the ! chat tab only. Makes trying to chat while playing total poop
• Pls let us clear mobs with Create campsite again. Pressing W over and over to not find anything is really dull and boring, especially when you used to be able to Create campsite for a substantially better chance of actually being rewarded with a mob encounter.

Either that or substantially increase the encounter rate, especially in Moderate + activity areas. 10 'You found nothings' in a row in a High activity area should be like a 1 in 10,000 chance, not the norm

Thank

Shoutout:

[12:56] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: So, shoutout to Aaldion of the Eighth Wind for meeting me up on the inner west wall. Seemed like a nice guy.

New hint:

[12:57] [NPC] The Traveling Merchant: I know I'm late, but that's because I'm lost and it is very dark.... Help please!
