I was able to get on briefly last night, and was shocked to find “Raza” was just level 3. That’s really discomforting, since I had played for a couple of months when I originally got the game. However, it says I have 68 AP to spend; will assigning the AP raise my level? ---

I don’t think so, but it will make your character way stronger. I hit level 11 last night, and I barely get to play, so the leveling comes quickly. ---

I’m playing this via Steam F2P. I don’t play a lot, but we did spend some coin so I have more than one character slot. Tip: DO NOT SPEND POINTS ON TRADESKILLS! You need them for things like weapon skills, stats, or mutations. (You aren’t going to be able to raise all your stats, so consider what stats are going to boost the attack skills and such you want to use, and boost them.) Tradeskills go up via making things or mining/scavenging/harvesting them. You can usually find me on Aletheia Erebus, the first character I made. (I will probably reset her stats at some point, since for now she uses ranged attacks and I believe for the nature faction she will need to be a brawler.) Here’s the **[game trailer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q7TEpg38-Q)**. Here’s a **[video summarizing the factions](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q7TEpg38-Q)** for FE. I’m leaning towards VISTA for one char at least, and TECH for another. (But I also like Lightbearers, hmmm.) So far my husband and I have had fun playing together on his days off, late nights Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. We do have other games we play together too, but we both enjoy this one. ---

Another tip, if you park your horse on grass for a while it will feed (fuel) itself! They are cheaper transport, and you can get an upgraded horse that has more storage, and a LOT more stamina. ---

Bah! Missed the edit window. I should have more properly explained that boosting stats boosts the CAP on various skills, so consider what skills you are going to be using (do not spread too thin) and boost your stats accordingly. ---

Just wanted to say I’m still playing. For some reason I find the crafting system captivating, and enjoy exploring. I will also note that at 9 am on a weekday you may be able to find PvP areas are deserted, enabling you to gather some unusual/rare crafting items with only the usual monsters to fight off. ---

I’m in the middle of moving right now, so I’m off the game for a couple of weeks. I’ll be back on by 7/14. ---

I brought my PC in the car on the trip instead of loading it in the Pack Rat container, so I’m back to playing the game. I’m making a bit of progress now, but I’m starting to feel like I need a clan. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-playing-fallen-earth-mmo/623373.md?page=1)
