Good to see you back Elfus It seems Darkhawk's answered your questions so I won't go there.

Yes I did play a couple of months near the beginning of tale 2. Became too much grinding for me in the end, though. (I remember spending 10 hours on digging out some monument..)

((I'm OOC for now, since Kendrus haven't read it It's very well written Darkhawk, and hopefully this will do the trick))

Base materials were 1500 per cycle.

In addition, the medications (lung shots, tranq chews, etc.) were available in quantities of 50 per cycle.

My search for something special and different was what made me join Seed in the first place and ATITD is the only MMO I've played that is still running. (No, I haven't played a lot of them)

In my opinion ATITD is THE crafting game and there is certainly no less grinding in this game when compared to others. It's just of a different kind. There are some tests (quests) which seemed to be quite varying in nature, but most of them requiring a lot of effort to complete.

I didn't see a lot of real roleplaying when I played, but the game is refreshingly free of all those l337 kids. It certainly caters to a more mature customer base.
Additionally there are a few (rp) events being held, but they were either few and far between, or I didn't play enough to notice them. I do, however, recall a 'trader from a distant land. A trader selling items not obtainable in the game world, but would only trade with male characters. It caused quite a stir.

Well... Mehken in Seed, Mehken here...
