2nd login - share what you know 

In less than an hour, the reply on the forum reaching thousands and the number of sub-thread is increasing quickly. It seemed the game company wants the player to share about what they have found out about the game and share it among players. 

One of the basic threads called [what happened when you die] is somehow popular. 

Some players tried to normally die by getting attacked by monster, jumping down from a cliff, drown oneself in a river, and wierd ways to die starts to pop up making it famous. There is even a player that hung himself using a rope and all of the player that dies is revived in the city. 

Just like that, everytime a rumour show up everybody directly tries it up. There is even some hoax thread that claim they can fly or even moving at double speed if you do some actions. 

There is also negative threads saying things like the game should have basic guide or something like that, they should be able to equip other weapons other than swords, and some even use insulting words to say that the game is useless other than the fact that it is a virtual reality game. 

Finally a new thread called [beginner training ground] gives everyone a starting point. 

"There is a place in the north of the city, this place seemed to be small from the entrance but it is the place to show you the rope to be an adventurer." 

With a lots of thumb up and star given to the threads starter, Hyuuga quickly logged in after leaves a positive comments. 

When he arrives at the plaza, the game sure is lively. Many players interacting with each other to share whatever info they have. Maybe in the future information can be much more precious than gold in this game. 

One thing that Hyuuga notice is, everyone is currently wearing the same leather clothes and carrying the same small bag on their waist. Other than that, no other info can bee seen from other players, not even their name. 

When he arrives at the place mentioned at the threads, lots of player also have gathered. They all are swarming in front of the entrance and a man aged around fourty standing in the middle. 

"Welcome adventurer, You have done well to reach this place. Now, this is the beginner training grounds, if you want to survive in the wilderness I suggest you for taking the basic training class. My name is Sid and I'm the trainer in these place. Are you guys ready?" 

A notification windows then appear infront of Hyuuga. 

[ Basic training quest] 

To survive in the wilderness, everyone is suggested to take the basic training class. These may not worth that much but you will understand the basics of the game. Will you participate? Y/N 

*rewards: quest windows, status windows, inventory windows, skill windows, party windows* 

Many players immediately accepted the quest including Hyuuga. He have come this far, so there's no turning back. After they accepted it, the quest windows immediately closed. 

(To view the quest that you have taken, you can shout the command > ) 

It seemed that the player that haven't got any quest can't even see their quest windows. This game even have a requirements for player to even see their windows. Hyuuga remembered seeing this information at the subthreads in the forum. 

After that, they entered the building guided by Sid. The inside are wide enough for thousands of player to fit and there's hundreds of scarecrow scattered around. Most player can already guess that they are going to have a battle training. 

"first of all, you can take your swords out from the inventory. The inventory windows can be easily opened by touching the bag at your waist or by saying >. After that we can test how strong you are by hitting these practice target." 

Everyone followed the commands and start to take out the same sword out of their bag and one by one choosing their own scarecrow and start to attack. But Hyuuga just standing there doing nothing. 

For his family that followed the path of archery, using sword is like a big disgrace and insulting their ancestor. Seeing a boy didn't start to practice, the training NPC slowly apporaches him. 

"young lad, why you don't take out your sword and practice like everyone else?" 

Surprised at the question, Hyuuga then gives a reply with a high ellegence like what you expect from some noble. 

"I'm sorry master, but my family is an ancestor of a noble lineage that uses bow as our main weapon. Troughout history we never use a sword even once and by doing so, I will be considered as a traitor by my family. Is there perharps a bow for me to use? I can give the sword to you in return." 

After hearing that, Sid let out a loud laugh. 

"hahaha... Don't be afraid young lad, we're not basic training center if we don't have other basic weapon for you to use. You can go to the armory over there and take any other weapon of your choice." 

Hyuuga then walks to the armory. The armory have a wide variety of weapons. Starting from small dagger to long spear, two handed sword, mace, even throwing dagger and some old style ninja weapon, chain attached to a small scythe. More than hundred types of weapon is in there. Hyuuga amazed at the sight for a couple of seconds until he realized that he's here only for the bow. 

When he pick up the bow and some arrows, a small windows appear. 

[basic weapon switch] 

A different weapon have different proficiencies. Some may adept at using the swords, some may adept at using the bow. There is no class restricted weapon unless you have finally advanced to a class that have some restriction. Would you like to change your basic weapon to bow? Y/N 

*Rewards: weapon change option* 

After he presses the Y button, imediately another windows come up. 

[CONGRATULATIONS] 

You have successfully changing your basic weapon for the first time. You are also the first player to change your weapon. As a reward, everyplayer now may access the armory and change their weapon. 

The rewards seemed to make no sense at all but seconds later he knew what it means, a windows pop up in front of everyone that is online. 

[CONGRATULATIONS] 

The requirements for changing basic weapon have been cleared by a player. From now on everyone can change their equipped weapon into any weapon, as long as they meet the minimum requirements to use it. Also some class may not be able to use a weapon that is restricted for them. 

*basic weapon can be changed in the armory at the basic training grounds* 

Hyuuga is shocked seeing that notification windows. His current action is affecting the whole player in the server. The game seemed to rely on the player to complete various action and open a whole new system. With the player sharing information and unlocks new play style, this game seems to have no limit of developments. 

After that, he need to get out quickly with players can be seen rushing to the armory. When he get out, the training grounds can be seen to have changed. There's an archery range now, not just some basic scarecrow dummy. There are also some unique area for some weapon practice such as whips, the chain and scythe, even some darts board for throwing dagger. 

With a smile on his face he immediatelly go to pick a spot in the archery range and take out his bow and arrow. Now, let's see the skill of gold medalist archer. 

***** 

Later that night people that saying bad things about the only weapon that can be used is swords posted another thread 

[from player to player for player] 

"Do you guys notice, the requirements for changing weapon is cleared by one player. That mean in this game, a player can entirely changed the whole gameplay. With no clear limitation of the game yet, this game may as well be limitless. It is the info we share from player to another player and we hope some of the effects can influence other players too." 

After that various response can be found. 

"yeah, from now on if anyone found out about anything, quickly post it here. It's exactly like what the forum says, share what you know and you'll know whay they share." 

And the number of sub threads quickly increased, less hoax and in the near future may become the main information source for player.
