Time to come out of lurkdom and introduce myself. The first thing I really have to do is thank you wonderful folks for all the helpful info you have posted, for a new player like me it makes all the difference in the world not to have to constantly reinvent the wheel. Learning how to use the search feature on this forum was the 2nd most wonderful thing.
This forum seems to be filled with friendly, helpful people who get along very well. Very unusual in today's hit and run, say any hurtful thing you want to non-ethics atmosphere. I think I will really like it here.
Have been playing now for about 3 weeks and am very happy with my progress, so far. Still have lots of rares to find, and have just recently started looking towards shrine totals, so there is still much to keep me interested. So much more to learn, but am very confident this is the place to get the needed help.
My GC is in my signature, would have preferred to have my profile name PixieWA to match my GC, but can't figure out how to change it or delete the ShirleyWA acct.
