Last night I had completed all of the missions in my starter town of South Burb. This has been really exciting because several missions in my log book has me traveling to nearby camps and towns.
The first place that I went to was Embry Crossroads. In this town I didn't want to get sucked in to more missions until I totally cleared out my log book. Because one of the missions was related to my storyline I did some follow-up missions before that portion was completed and my next storyline mission isn't for another couple of levels.
Once I completed what was in Embry Crossroads I then set off to the southwest to a smaller place called Mumford. Between the horseback riding from South Burb to Embry Crossroads and then Mumford the vastness of FE is starting to dawn on me. This place is BIG! I believe the area that I'm covering is perhaps an eighth of the area in sector 1. If that's the case then there's a lot more to explore plus the lands in three other sectors. There's a lot to look forward to.
When I got to Mumford I turned in the mission that got me there. This time around I had started to accept all of the available missions that I was able to find. As I went off to complete them it quickly became evident that Mumford is another starter location. Instead of mobs at my current level of 6 they were actually of a lower level. This made killing them very easy and the missions were ending quickly. This I didn't mind because of the rewards involving more tradeskill manuals.
One of the missions involved some salvaging. While searching for scrap iron I went ahead and salvaged and scavenged anything that was in the vicinity. This lead to a nice supply of tradeskill items that I had then banked before turning in the mission.
At this point in the game I'm only level 6. Some players will view that as a fail because I had logged a lot of hours and have only gone so far. I believe the top level now is 45, so I've got a ways to go. Regardless I do appreciate taking my time and enjoying the game for what it is. Reading through the FE forums leads me to believe that there is a lot of Dev involvement to address discrepancies in the game. However in a few days my 10-day free trial will end. That is a disappointment to me when I was hoping to get a rifle and scope and be that devastating sniper that I had hoped to become. With two games that I'm already subscribed to (WoW & EVE) I'm leery of picking up a third. Should I decide to play further I'll have to cancel one of those two games. However I'm cautiously optimistic that I will be doing exactly that. FE is getting under my skin...
