Coming back after a long break

Vaim

Hey all, I'm coming back after a long break, but during that time I've always thought fondly on the adventures I had in Sapience and I felt myself continually itching to get back in. Anyway, I've come back and don't really know where to start, and the people I knew are no longer around. I'm a serpent and really loved studying combat under the careful hand of Cahin and Antidas (those cats still around?), but I ended up having to stop my progression before I really unlocked the secrets of combat. I don't know if this is an unusual request, but I'm looking for someone to train under and a community to be a part of. What's the quickest way to find this? I'm decently artied and willing to invest time.

I think the first question you need to ask yourself is "Do I want to play for a faction or be rogue" start narrowing down your choices from there and begin to select a city based on where you honestly and truly want to play. 

As for many that you knew no longer are around, I can honestly say this may not be a bad thing at all. You'll still be able to start getting to know others and to pick up where you want to go in terms of faction or not. (Which if you're wanting to get yourself back together, I probably would recommend joining a city/house to help you get back to the swing of things.)

I don't think there is necessarily a "Fast" track, but really depends on how you put the work in for yourself. So I'd first suggest looking at more combat active cities and Houses and seeing what aligns with your interests more. Strike up roleplaying conversations with members and see where you can get the ball rolling. 

Welcome back!

Jurixe

Welcome back, Vaim. I don't play that much these days, but good to see you return. Ailea's first point is perhaps the most important: what do you want your character to fight for? From there your choices will be easier.

Hope you have fun.

Antidas

Welcome back! I'm still around, although I haven't seen Cahin in ages (RIP). I'm not in Mhaldor anymore, though - moved over to Targossas (the new Good(TM) city) shortly after Shallam got blown up. Will keep an eye out for you IC though, we can chat!

Vaim

Thanks for the welcome and advice guys! It does me heart good to see some old faces. I'll reach out IC, Antidas. I still remember the assassination we carried out during the Occultist play in Delos with a massive grin. All under the iron leadership of Jurixe.
