The Mana World Forums

I'll start off by saying, this is the best 2D mmorpg I have played yet I love the Secret of Mana style graphics and the map has some very original and cool places. I just started playing a couple days ago, and have a couple questions for all of you experienced players. Have patience with me though, as I'm sure a few have already been answered before ^^

1) Is there a quest window? I have gotten a few quests, and I seem to forget them when I stop playing overnight.

2) When will PvP be implemented into the game?

3) When will magic be implemented, and basically when will the 'Big' update come to the game that makes it near complete?

4) And finally, is there a way to talk to NPC's with a keyboard only format? I'm on a laptop so using a mouse all the time to press 'Ok' is a pain.

Again, I don't mean to rush or imply that I'm being critical of this game. I LOVE what ya'll are doing with it, great job. I'm going to continue to play this and am just looking forward to it being complete . Thanks, Kyle.

1. Quest window doesn't exist - you must remember received quests or keep track of them e.g. in a text file somewhere.

2. PvP is already there - ask some player to lead you to some PvP area (yes, PvP is limited to special areas)...

3. A public test of the system will occur as soon as I have time to get it setup.

4. It's in the works.

I thought there was just one area - the arena. Am I missing something?

Also there is a list of quests you can read through to remember which of then you have taken. It can be found in the walkthrough.

ahh thanks for the replies! seems like it would be pretty easy to do a quest log. And any word on wether I can make the game fully functional with keyboard only? Thanks

hey one more questions, my mini map is VERY small, anyway to make this bigger so I can see it better? Again, very good game you guys are making, i LOVE it and will continue to play it!

No. At the moment, the minimap is a prebuilt image that can't be scaled well. Future versions might work differently and allow that. You can get an overview of what we have for the world here: http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... _world_map.

awesome, thanks. Also, my name on the game is "Kyle Rawlings", and I didn't realize that I was making it much harder for other people to /whisper to me haha. ANY chance I can get an admin to combine my name into one full name? Haha, thanks for any help! great game

Click the setup button in the top-right corner and then the controls tab. From there you can set keyboard shortcuts for almost everything. The only thing you can't do I think is right click on people and talk with NPCs.

I think he's talking about many of the dialog boxes not being keyboard control friendly (i.e. not being able to arrow through things, and when you can, the enter button or spacebar rarely depress the "Ok" prompts.). This makes it frustrating when having to move the cursor around with a notebook touch pad to navigate through prompts, particularly with mouthy NPCs. Not to mention that some of the dialog windows for the npcs can be different sizes from one prompt to the next, so it's quite a hassle sliding fingers back and forth to tag all of those Ok buttons. I've removed a few layers of silver paint off of my touch pad just listening to a quest NPC in the Hurnscald tavern .

As far as a quest status/journal window, I think I know what I want for Christmas now
