The Big Bad World

So, Qweeg is now a citizen but what next?  Well now I have freedom to move out of the starting zone (Q1) I might as well take it.  The first time you venture out is a bit strange - essentially your mind essence is packaged up in a little flying saucer that you fly through a maze where eventually you arrive at a new zone, Saransk, where your mind is reunited with your body.  Most bizarre!

Saransk is a large town, non-pvp so you are quite safe (as is Q1 incidentally) with lots buildings containing terminals that you can interact with.  Many of these were also in Q1 but only a few of them actually work.

So how does the game hang together?  Well every action potentially grants you either Skill advancement Units (SAU) or level gains in a certain skill.  There are many skills in the game and they relate to the different actions you perform.  So for example chopping down trees may give you gains in the "Nature" skill, whereas using a healing a kit may give you a gain in the "Restore" skill.  There are plenty of crossovers as many skills relate to many different professions.  Once you level in s skill reaches 100 (%) then you can unblock the next level.  This is what the SAU is used for.  So for example my Strength skill reaches 100% (I am at stage 1).  I then won't get any more strength skills until I use some SAU to unblock stage 2.  I will then be at 0% on stage 2 and I will be able to receive strength skill gains again.

The better the stage you are at in a skill the better you are able to perform related actions.  One other thing - you can intentionally block gains in certain skills so as to focus your gains in other areas.  For example if you wanted to skill up Nature but not Strength but both skills could be gained from chopping down trees you could block Strength.  Then you would only gain Nature skills until Strength was unblocked again.

Overall this is a similar concept to Entropia although slightly more sophisticated.  That is assuming I have understood how it works correctly, and there is no guarantee of that.
