Well, I just deleted my lvl46 Healer in Middy and joined Hib in search of a new adventure and hopefully more fun. Rolled a magician, gonna be a mentalist at lvl5
One sour note though. I realise how hard it is now to start non-twinked chars (havn't actually done this since start of Beta). So I am in a strange land with 0 coin. My stick turned green at lvl4, I have no armour (damn skels on Connacht beach only dropped tattererd Brea) and now they are grey So it's all a bit tough atm as I really am poo in melee and get demolished by blues in most cases. I saw a bunch of guilded 30 somethings hanging at the bindstone, so I thought I would ask for a modest loan (26s) in order to buy a new stick. Sadly, they patronisingly told me to 'go kill stuff and save up', even after I had explained blues were a difficulty for me (to which the helpfullly replied 'you're a magician, not a tank').
Now, this isn't a whinge about not giving beggars money, it's a whinge about the mindset of players who will go out of their way to be un-helpful. On Midgard I would generally always give to cases who asked politely for a clearly modest amount ('can I have 15s for a new sword') and always reject instantly the 'can i have gold plz' trolls. Rembember the request was for 26 silver..
As yet, an unpleasant introduction to your realm, and I hope that others will be more generous and helpful (I'm NOT talking just about money here btw) but I will persevere and progress by killing green mobs until I can get enough money to face those blues.....
