Character Creation
Welcome to the Medieval Europe. In this Role Play Game you will make your way through a world of chances, abuses, corruption, justice; and you will have to quickly find the path that suits you best. Still didn't find one? Build your own. Because in ME everything is possible, everything.
But let's take a step back and see what happens before you enter our world:
This is the first choice you will have to face in your whole new life. First your given name and family name: remember, you're a medieval villager, not a present hipster, so please choose a name that suits the situation, avoiding famous historical people's name!
Secondly your culture and sex. Those may not be your real features (If I'm an italian male I may choose a Scottish girl in the game) and it won't influence our gameplay, it is purely preferential.
Finally you will have to choose your kingdom of birth. Make this choice carefully as not every kingdom takes care of its new people the same way, but keep in mind you may change it later too. To see what the kingdom has to say click on the link "Kingdom Information".
Afterwards you'll jump deeper in the game play and have to make your first important decision: Attribute points.
Attribute Points
You will have 40 Attribute Points to divide into:
Choose carefully as you will be able to change them only once, after your birth and within 30 days: you can do that in your Character dashboard page. After that, to change them you will need to pay some doubloons. (See: FAQ)
Start Up
As soon as you start, you will be provided with a Newborn package that was designed to help you in your first days of life. The package contains:
- 50 Silver coins
- 5 Bread
- A hut
- A Free Tool
In order:
- The Silver coins are the currency of the game, with them you will be able to purchase items on the market, pay other players for services, goods, you may be fined for infractions in Silver coins, etc. Basically they are everyday money.
- The Bread is a Food that helps you recover Glut, which is one of the three Conditions you can find in the center of the upper screen. The glut represent how hungry you are and it will fall back of 16% every given time each day, once it gets to 0 and midnight comes your health will start decaying of 10% each day, unless you eat something. (see: Bread and Food)
- The hut is the basic private Structure, it is a building where the player may rest or store goods. It is important to have one because otherwise you would have to sleep in a Tavern, which is a building providing the possibility to sleep for money.
- The free tool helps you start getting a Job, you can request it in the local Castle or Native Village (see: Making money in ME)
Communicating with other players
Communication is very important in the game, it is in fact the most useful resource of information and money ever. For that reason there are many ways to get in touch and keep in touch with other players (Note: There are no NPCs)
Messages
Messages are a private way to talk with a specific person, as you were born your regent sent you a message. You can find them in the left list of actions.
Chat
Chats are a public way to talk, maybe with random people. There is for this purpose the ME chat, accessible from the top of the page. Other kind of Chat rooms, more private, are the Group Chat, where all the group members can take part (accessible by the Group menu on the right bottom part fo the screen), and the Home Chat, where only invited members may access the discussion (you can see this option pointing your house with your cursor).
Making money in ME
Making money in ME is vital as it was at the time, you need money to feed yourself and make basic actions such as sleeping at inns, buy tools to work, but also to increasing and improve your belongings, such as Shops, Fields, Houses, etc. The most common way to earn coins is to work. Each time you work a certain time is required, this is a work cycle and it is possible to queue up to 3 work cycles with the Worker Bonus (see: [Bonus packages]). Some works, like extracting natural resources, require tools, that you can easily buy on the market or require for free to the nearest Castle or Native Village (Only once, and for players younger than 30 days or 30 days old). Other parallel ways of making money are in the next chapters.
Working in the Barracks
You don't need any tool, any contract or any kind of skill, everyone can do it, but it's not a good long term solution. Nevertheless it is a good way to survive as it gives you 1 Bread loaf (see: Health, Energy and Glut) and 5 coins each work cycle, that is supposed to last 2hrs; so every working cycle take off 0.2% of Glut but gives you a bread loaf that lets you recover 5% and this may help you survive the first days giving you something to eat and some money to buy something more rentable later.
Jobs and announcement boards
When you look in the Bulletin board in the Castle of your Region (or the Town crier) you might see some work announcements. When you accept them a contract will be made between you and the poster of the offer. Depending on this accord terms, you might either jut accomplish some unrelated actions, or may be granted access to a structure, like a Shop or a Field
For more informations see: Castle
In a Shop you are crafting processed items out of raw materials. Keep in touch with your employer to know what to craft and in what quantity. However you should know that canceling actions in a Shop result in loss of all items used in the crafting AND final product supposed to be produced, so to avoid severe consequences you should always finish your actions.
For more informations see: Shop
In a Field you are sowing and, after some time, harvesting the produced items. It goes as for the Shops the principle of never canceling the action, as the materials used are not yours.
For more informations see: Field

Health, Energy, Glut
Health
Health is stating how much wounds or injuries you have been taking lately. If Health goes down to zero your character will die and you will need to restart your life with a different one (your account will still stay). To heal yourself you may find some health kits in churches, or healing pills from Herbalists. However the only two ways you could possibly lose health are:
- If your glut is zero at the time your glut is taken off (10%)
- If you go to war (variable percentage)
Energy
Energy is stating how much more can your character do actions, if it goes down to zero you won't be able to do anything and you will have to Rest. Each action you do will take down your energy of a specific percentage, that changes depending on the kind of action (see: Action tables). There are few ways to restore it:
- Resting
- Eat processed Food
- Voting (see: Voting for ME)
Glut
Glut is stating how much hungry your character is. This condition will go down every day at a given time by 16%, if the glut is already zero 10% Health will be taken off; this will not apply if your glut is between 1 and 15, it will then simply go to zero. Recovering Glut is simple, you just need to eat any kind of Food
