cool, thanks for the quick replies (and the greeting!).
I'll check it out when i get a chance to play - i'm just finishing up the Aleroth quests, and have just left for the garrison - after reading around here, i see i need to head back to town and finish clearing out the catacombs and explore the countryside around the town a bit more. So, i'm not sure where the C.A. is, but i'll keep it in mind when i do encounter it
this game is awesome - its like a pleasant mix between arcanum and diablo - linear enough so it has direction, non-linear enough so i have a sense of freedom and a world to explore (which countless other games don't provide)
Thanks again
