I have been ignoring most of the ROK posts here, sorry if this has been
covered recently. (I didn't have and don't like most spoilers, at least
till I get frustrated)

I went out and bought ROK from EB this weekend (only $20 after rebate!)
after I saw every player in my guild there. ("Come on over Elfson, we
want to PL you to 32" Its good being the only bard in the guild, you
get lots of attention).

So a druid ported me to BB for the boat ride (I wanted to learn how to
get there myself, so I wont have to count on tp's). Naturally I got
bumped off the skiff (apparantly this is common since GM's don't even
ask questions they just gate you to FV if you petition). While I was
waiting I hit my new forage skill cap at 55(I think its maxed) and got
27 points of swimming (I swam about 22,000 feet looking for a dock).
Eventually I was gated to FV.

I have a couple of questions about the city (Firona Vie or whatever).
Is there a bank? Is there a merchant who sells lower level bard songs?
I found the guy who sells the 51+ songs (any reason they are cheaper
than my lvl 25+ songs?). I saw the bard trainer thread, and saw no
replies, so I'll assume thats a no (Eh, who cares about hide and safe
fall?).

Well so far its an intersting place. I can't believe how big the agro
radius on most of these things, but I can run fast :)
