I was thinking about this game recently and playing it briefly in high school, so I decided to look up what it cost. I was on the fence about it but I read a comment that pointed me here and it was enough to sell me on the game! I've been having a lot of fun so far (Some nice player even gave me a bunch of money and told me about some important things) but there are a few things I wonder about/notice, and thought maybe someone could help me out.
When are people usually on: I mean like peak times. I work nights so I can only really get on during the day.
Quests and the like: Seems like Higher Grounds isn't really quest oriented (or at least I've been led to believe so), so what is there to do? Is there a goal I could work toward?
Town: Is there only one town in Higher Grounds?
The Three Important Rings: I got all three clues from whats-his-nuts, but still don't really know where to begin.
Thanks in advance!

Hi mafilux, and welcome to the forums! Peak times are during US evenings, but I'm sure the European and Australian players will be glad for the company. We expect more traffic in all hours once we swap to enhanced edition. No word on when that will be, just yet. The forums are a little slower these days as a lot of casual discussion takes place on Discord, in real time. If you want people to talk to quickly, a great way is to download the Discord app and join our chat server: discord.gg/gjWTFbvYou can get all the tips you like. There's also a !newbie channel ingame for asking questions just type: !newbie Hi To send the message 'Hi' to all servers. Ditto channels for chat (!chat), the bazaar and more. Lots of information on that ingame. There are MANY lowbie quest-givers throughout town. Just talk to people, and they'll set you on your way. Following all the questlines can see you through the first 40 levels. After that, there are quests on a much larger scale, like obtaining immortality, defeating the Lord of Hell, and attaining demigodhood. There is only one main town, but there are many other NPCs and merchants to interact with spread throughout the server. We have plans for another town, with additional questgivers and at least one more merchant. For the rings, you don't have to sweat them *too* much, since you can trade certain items in for them in town. I would inquire on Discord or ingame chat, unless someone else here feels like going into more detail (I'm pretty rusty). Best, Funky

A nice player helped me out with my questions in game, and I found out a lot of really good stuff from another person who I partied with. I'll definitely start talking to the NPCs more, I did at first but I guess I haven't found much yet. Thanks for the info!

Welcome to Higher Ground!
Quests: There are a LOAD in the buildings on the Docks, and once you've done their quest, they'll give you another!
Also, don't forget "Accomplishments". Not the same, but if you type "!acc list preLL" (without quotes - translation: Accomplishments, List, Pre-Legendary Level) it shows a list of 'stuff to do', with Level-Limits. You get minor bonuses for them. Alongside the "Docks Quests", very good for exploring the server, and finding out the "How to be Immortal" plot! EDIT: !list acc prell d'oh.
Hope this helps.
P.S. Was it Mafilux that asked me (Unan - Archer with big wings) about the new(?) "Un-appraised gems"? I haven't seen any of them yet!

Welcome mafilux!
The beauty of hg corresponds to the near endless amount of customization and content- it is a server I've held dear to my heart ever since I stumbled on it during the dinosaur ages. Anyways while I'm US I play mostly in the EU/Aussy timezone due to working and night classes. If you see me online feel free to jump on and ask questions- I will assist you to the best of my knowledge and attempt to point you in the right direction (I'll also look out for you in the meantime). The same goes with build talk or any other advice regarding the module.
If anything hit me up once you're immortal and I can show you around the module and answer any additional questions. Once again, welcome to HG and feel free to msg me here/discord/ingame if you need help- I wrote up a newbie guide for Legendary Levels (with a few areas from 35+) that I would willing to share with you (and others!!).
Mikey

I updated the link in my post for the BeamDog discord, where we encourage our players to gather for general chat, to help increase our exposure.
