I just bought the game and have enjoyed it. Besides the occasional bug that gets me stuck i love it and love that it is free. I am at level 10 now and im having trouble with this area (diessa lowlands). There is a part where there are many guys (5-9 level 8 or 9 lizard things) and i find myself dying a lot. It wouldn't bother me but i can't get to a town so i can start out closer and end up with piken square as my closest town. It wouldn't be bad but when i die i get rez sickeness and then can't even put up resistance to the baddies. Any tips or any help on how to get to the Gren Courthouse easily?

My second question is that i have reached mid level and i am still stuck in the same area as when i started. Is there more to the world or does it all come to me when i reach level 20? I understand that level 20 is when all the main stuff happens but then at 20 there is no level up or anything so it seems that at 20 the only thing to look forward to is....well i don't know but do i atleast get to move to another area soon or do i have to wait for level 20?

Level 10 is good enough to move on to the next area. If you're stuck trying to get to the Courthouse, you might try going through the missions instead. Playing the missions will get you through to Nolani Academy at the far end on the Diessa Lowlands and take you to the next area of the game, the Northern Shiverpeaks.

level 20 is the beginning! Dont see it as the end of the game, GW was never designed to about leveling, hence it been fairly quick and easy to achieve.

The courthouse can be a bit of a pain to get to, especially the first time, as the route is not too straight forward. However, you do as above (ie next mission which puts you a little closer, or persist. That been said, the only real reason to get the courthouse initially is to complete altheas ashes quest, its a good pitt stop to have

There are also some new skills that become available there. Hydras can be pretty annoying with their knock-downs....maybe look for a group of real people heading that way. I know with Nightfall and Heroes, finding groups is even harder than it was....but don't be discouraged. Keep at it and you will succeed. Also try looking up the zone map either here or on Guild Wiki, it may give you an idea of where you should be taking that "right turn at Albuquerque".

The quest list on guildwiki will show you how little of the game you have completed. In Prophecies, the designed level 20 area is from Crystal Desert onward.

Make sure you have the highest armor you can get in the area. Again, info on guildwiki.

What's your profession and time zone?

you guys rule. I actually made it through the place and to the courtyard but i didn't exactly fight the monsters to get there. It is actually funny. I sent my hench ahead of me to distract and then i used speed to fly through and then just kept running. I got poison from some scorpion and i could see the finish line and died right near it. Luckily i was close enough to spawn at the rez place near the courtyard. I was so excited like a little boy on christmas morning. Thanks for all your help it worked and allowed me to run through the place.
