I am new, I am Ethae in game, and am a male avian mage (fire/air/maybe aether). I need some help on several things. How should I go about leveling my spells? Is it worth putting extra spell points into lower level spells? Also, at what point should I start hunting things besides goblins and rats, and what is the next step up. I have flamestream as my heavy hitter now (I am level 2...), so where should I head from here?
Also, where is everyone? I have only seen three people in game...one of which (Mack) helped me out a lot, another of which (whose name I can't remember) helped me at the wee beginnings, and the third was having connection troubles...what are peak hours here, and where do people congregate?
