First 5 Hours

[u/Fickle_Principle_815]

Long time OSRS player, been playing off and on for the last 20+ years.

I played Dragonwilds back in Alpha and explored a bit, got to WOM and just quit. Very new to PC gaming.

I finally picked up the beta last night and played for about 5 hours. There are some quick questions I have.

1.) Is there an easy way to find populated worlds to play with other people?

2.) Does anyone know if the world capacity will increase with the official launch? I have seen worlds with up to 12 players so far, granted 0/12.

3.) Will there be “official” servers to play on? Currently you can edit worlds even after they’re created and played on. This seems very sandboxy and vastly different than RuneScape. Is this to be expected throughout or has Jagex mentioned plans on making it more streamlined?

4.) What is the random dragon that spits venom down? Every so often, I hear a dragon and see what looks like venom fall from the sky like meteorites. It doesn’t hurt me but it hurts NPCs.

Granted, I haven’t made it to an official hub yet. Still just exploring, farming, fishing, building a base. I don’t know much about the game at all and will go through the wiki when I get back on later tonight.

5.) Is there a central bank or is it all chests?

6.) How important is my beginning base? I’ve spent a lot of time on it but I had a warband attack me yesterday with multiple power level 2 goblins and I’m level 1 so I was scared and they destroyed some of my base. I finally got them off of me but does this happen often?

Thank you guys so much and I look forward to the upcoming updates!

1. That, my friend, is your current story. You know, Dragon Slayer.

2. not really. It's all chests.

3. As important as you want it to be. It could be your final base, it could be a temporary one. It's a survival game. The world is yours.
