Thanks for the post on this.

Downloaded it after reading it and have played up to level five so far. It is a decent "time killer". I will give it a few days and then report what I think.

Yes, ok but I played Heroes online and this game seems like the same thing. Not the next WoW killer, for sure.

It's going to be a free game, so yeah, it's not a bad time killer.

I enjoyed some of it, but the catch is that it's very much a Korean import translated into English, and plays like it. Not a game I'd pay for, or something I'd play while 'in' another game.

Did I mention it's free!

True. My first thought is a Guild Wars China Expansion. I did not last long in GW. Then again, I think I lasted even less time in WoW. WoW was under a month for me and GW may have been a full month.

I played WoW for 2 months. I haven't played a real MMO since then.

Sometimes I dream about WoW.

I just NEED another MMO to enjoy and there is and will be a hole until something decent comes out.

It's a fun little game and you can't beat the price. It will do while I wait for Vanguard to come out anyway.

I'm playing a beggar named Pianyi (Cheap) and just hit GC1.

How does one train meditation skills?

I picked up Basic Bandit Meditation and can find no way to train it.

So long as you have it in your active slot it will continue to advance. Just keep it on all the time. The same goes for any continuous buff, although you will not have to put anything besides meditation in the active slot to do it.

There is also at least one buff that goes for 30 minutes after casting and only advances when you cast it. The only way to raise that one is just to chain cast it for long periods. Using a manual helps, but I still haven't had the patience to do that for long.

Unfortunately, it is a gray icon with no color yet and tells me I need to train it just like any other skill in order to use it.
