WillowmereGetting started
Press Play, make your character, and you wake in the Warden's Glade. Rowan walks you through chopping, fishing, lighting a fire, cooking and mining. A supply chest by her camp holds a free novice kit. When the lessons are done the gate opens, and the road leads to Willowmere.
Online, your progress is saved on the server under your account. In single-player preview it's saved in this browser only, so clearing your browser data clears your character.

Banks and items
- Every large town has a bank. Whatever you store at one, you can take out at any other.
- Banks have 10 tabs of 75 slots each, and you can rename the tabs.
- Your satchel holds 24 items; a backpack adds more.
- Everything you defeat drops bones, coins scaled to its level, and items fitting what it was.

- Click a player's name above their head to offer a trade, or type
/trade Name. Both sides confirm twice before anything changes hands. - What you say in chat is heard by everyone close by. Private messages reach anyone online.
