Many humbling defeats later we finally managed to kill someone and seemed to be improving． The much touted "real combat" was a double edged sword (apologies for the pun); we had the immediacy of being able to strike an unwitting foe, however if you didn't do bulk damage straight away the veteran players would quickly muster their superior weapons and spells, sicking their demon pets on us．

The combat gets quite deep and having the right attacks hot keyed to the numerical keys was essential． You'd find yourself trying to use a deadly equation of 1's, 2's and 8's． The games were fierce and fast, bloody and utterly engaging．

I spent most of my forties in Fields of the Dead (FotD) finishing up with the quests in the Haunted Forest． There is a long quest chain where you end up collecting medallions and placing them all over FotD． This quest line gives great experience points, and it also gives a nice blue level 50 weapon upon completion．

Now I think I understand the people who skip the whole place and wait for the mobs to get gray so they can do it solo． No matter how much fun grouping is, the place is horrible and should definitely be turned in to a group instance instead of the shared dungeon it is at the moment．

I already disliked going to the sewers even before this party since the place is always full of people and I definitely prefer wide open outdoor spaces over the dark, narrow sewers． Also my computer gets completely jammed sometimes and so far it has happened only in the main sewer system every time I've been there and so it happened again and of course; before we had actually managed to achieve anything, thanks to the higher level players camping the bosses． That would have been fine if it was just that, but when I logged back in I couldn't see the party list and wasn't able to participate in looting．

I leveled very quickly here doing some of the lower level quests and some of the 'wanted poster' quests killing cannibals． I still have many quests left in this area, and I suspect I'll be here until my high fifties．
