Guide to a returning veteran (Tatelan, EU-Emerald)

[benjaminbt 325]

So, after countless days of drought and absence you have finally downloaded Warspear Online again. What were the reasons of you leaving the game in the first place? Being overwhelmed by everyday life or an intense conflict in game that made you click the uninstall button, not looking back? Or just simply getting bored of the game? I feel you. Have been there a couple of times myself. Now, how about letting me help you getting back into shape? There, hold my hand. Whew, it’s got a bit soft after all this time.

 

Navigating strange new seas

Now, fellow player, as you don’t set sail without knowing the waters, it is not wise to even touch the game without having at least a general idea of what has changed since you leaving and if there is a current seasonal event running where you can find some quick action immediately after returning to the game. The game’s forum at https://forum.warspear-online.com/ is a perfect place to gather this information. Consider it as a... detailed navigation map for your upcoming old but new adventure.

 

 

 

The main menu & logging in

Not a whole lot of things have changed here honestly. It’s a main menu, after all, not your face. (You have gotten older, so I assume you have changed at least a little bit...?)
The menu is dressed accordingly to the seasonal event (as usual). And the build number is over 10! Say whaa- and what’s that familiar sound? The main menu song! Oh boy, haven’t you forgot how great the sound of this game is! 
ta-da, da-da-da-da! 

 

 

The first thing you’ll need to do is finding the password to your old forgotten character. Obviously.
Is it an email address with a password you have been using for a lot of other places as well? You live dangerously, I must say, but well, you are in luck this time. Just input the data and you are in! Hooray!
Seriously, though. Don’t use the same passwords everywhere.

Now, if by any chance you don’t remember your account email or password, I can’t help you as I don’t know it either. I’m not a psychic, jeez. But remember, support can help you at https://warspear-online.com/en/support. Probably. Hopefully.

Now, everyone is sorted and ready? Let’s jump in!

 

 

**LOUD PORTAL SOUNDS**

 

 

Wow, such new stuff!

Now, that we are in the game, take your time to have a look around. Depending on when you have last played, many things might have changed in the game, like changes to the UI, the reorganised menu (image #1), the new gear loadout (image #2) or the new personal storage (image #3) where you can put all your stuff and access it with other characters on your account (given that they are on the same server). Cool!

 

 

 

 

Again, I don't know when you were last here. The above mentioned are just things that were new to me when I started playing again. If you put the game down even earlier, there might be many more features and things you have to (re)discover! Again, the forum is a good place to catch up!

 

 

I'm out of gold... And where's my stuff again?

Maybe you are in a position that for one reason or another, your inventory is mostly empty and your gold purse is sucked dry. Perhaps you transferred all your stuff to a bank account or gave it to your little brother... If so, try to get what you can back. I always had a bank character to store the most essential items and a considerable amount of gold just in case... You know. This case. Returning to the game.

But there's also the way we used to do it when we were young. By doing quests, dungeons and farming some enemies. That'll get you started.

 

 

What else can I do?

1. Do some quests to get the hang of it again.
2. Join a few arena fights and show them how it's done (or fail miserably)!
3. Try a dungeon or two. If one of the seasonal events are up, definitely do more than two.

4. Go through your inventory and try to trade some stuff.

 

As I said, this way you'll also get a handful of gold and essential stuff to make your next steps easier.

 

Consider joining a guild if you had been kicked out while you were gone. If you are lucky, you will get into one where they actually speak your language and the guys are (somewhat) active. After all, this is an online game, a game to play with others...

 

Maybe some players will recognize you. "The great *insert your name here* has returned to the game, all hail! What a day it is!" 

Maybe nobody will care about you. *cricket noises* 

 

Either way, make sure you enjoy the game this time. A fresh (re)start, might I say? You haven't come back to the game again to grind and grind and grind and grind and g....

Have you? 

 

Well, that's most it has to it, fellow adventurer. At least for now. Good luck on your return to Arinar and don't forget: 

SYSTEM: NEVER SHARE YOUR ACCOUNT INFO WITH ANYONE! DOING SO WILL RESULT IN THE PERMANENT BAN.
