I was able to play today for the first time in a couple months. My characters are all low-level, and I was having a very difficult time of it.
Here are some observations:
The low-lvl areas are too big, the players *way* too slow, and the monsters too few and far between, too strong, and too fast. This boils down to not being able to hunt. Speeding up the characters would help a lot (to cover ground and to balance char speed with monster speed--right now I can't catch up to the baddies when they start to run away), but the basic problem is that there are huge tracts of land with nothing in them. A smaller, more populated area for low levels with weaker monsters is desperately needed.
