I think maybe the newbies are overwhelmed with how huge the world is. I'm trying to make this game work, for it to be fun.

My suggestion is this:

In exploring, should there be a second pace button? So normally, we move at one tile per movement. I suggest a movement that is FREE, doesn't need to be gotten in a skill tree or anything. And my hope is that it'll make getting across our huge world, faster.

Tell me what you think, because I'm really at the end of my rope here in terms of how to make this game fun.

Yeah it'd be a good idea, espescially since there's 2 tiles in each direction so it won't be confusing

Sorta like how you change hunting/sneaking/etc.?

Hunting could move you two squares at a time.
But when that call never comes, it's time to face what you've become - there's no point doing all of this, unless you know you're having fun.

Yes. Like, I probably will never complete the kill 150 swamp alligator thingy because it's so far away from the nearest town/city, KahLer. Maybe you could like tear the thing in half and halve all of the coords for everything. THat may take time, but it would make things a lot faster for nav. Like, it took me about 2.5 hours or so to go fromm Arbestass to Zunram 'cause I didn't have any money 4the train. Etc etc.

I cannot change all the coordinates, which is why I suggest moving twice as fast.

Nah Frank 'cuz I don't want to discourage the absolute idiots from playing. To be honest with you, I'd rather have a game full of 50 intelligent people than 100 dumb people. Unfortunately a common trait of dumb people is to blow money like there's no tomorrow, so I must cater to them also. (not saying VIP is a waste; it's literally $3, I mean anyone can afford that)

I think the politically correct way to say that would be "I don't want to be a Pok�mon clone" silly emoticon

How about running shoes or monster rider that would let you move 3 to 5 at a time?
