If you know your way around NT, you're halfway there. > It's well worth exploring. Lots of "special" stuff, hidden items/containers, nifty things for sale, interesting mobs, and unique room descriptions. Turn off brief mode, kids. > And the "starter" map costs 15 coins, if I remember right. I'm sure even guy who started this thread could dig that up.
> B) A lot smaller than several other towns, as far as the street map. (It seems to have a lot more quiet nooks and crannies, including a lot of locked doors, and places like the Sultan's Palace that aren't open just yet. But the street map isn't so sprawling.)
> C) Arbies beware! Very conducive to PKing, in my opinion. The gates, the number of lockable rooms, the lack of straight roads, and the number of less-than-obvious rooms... all of these can be exploited, especially by a summoner.
