i recall wandering around for at least a week not doing much until my friend started explaining the game to me. goblins were particularly difficult to kill at first.. that was a long time ago
max333, zar family 2 and any of those other big name pkers from a few years back they were always training and beating the hell out of each other, it was fun to watch and it probably inspired a lot of people to train so they could compete in the wildy too
