 ==== Why only the tutorial island and two zones for Demo players? ====
-While it may seem like two zones (3 with Anagoge) is small, these are actually pretty big zones and they include enough mobs and monsters that you could easily hit level 15 in many skills without entering a single Dungeon. That said, you can enter any of the dungeons in Serbule and Serbule Hills as far as I know.

That said, you can enter any of the dungeons in Serbule and Serbule Hills as far as I know and there are a LOT of dungeon zones in these two larger zones.
 There are at least two, possibly three dungeons in Serbule alone that you can't even properly do at level 15 in combat skills without group help. Serbule is definitely one of the bigger and more fleshed-out zones. Serbule Hills is similarly large and has a lot of quests and named mobs usually having to deal with those quests. You're getting basically two of the biggest zones in the game and the whole starter island for free, basically.

 ==== There's not enough inventory space! Help!? ====
 We've all been here. You are not unique. In fact, at this point, if inventory space was easier to get for a new player I'd be upset because I had to do more work to get it than a newbie.
+Almost all of the early game inventory issues have been eliminated with the introduction of the Serbule Community Chest, by the way. If people are STILL complaining about inventory when that huge amount of space exists then I don't know what to say. Keep in mind that several of us played this game without ANY of that extra space so the vets of the game think you are spoiled little brats, be wary about complaining about space. :/
 I cover a bit of the [[serbule#favor_npcs_and_inventory_management|inventory management aspect of the game here]].

 It's a vicious cycle, but my recommendation is not to focus on expanding inventory too much and to specialize in specific crafting skills at first so you can junk, sell, or gift away most of your other items or gear. Remember the adage of Craft → Favor → Barter → Sell and be sure to sell or give away for Favor the stuff you don't need for immediate crafting. You may want to craft with it later, but early game isn't the time when you need to build up Favor and Funding to buy or obtain more inventory space. Pick two (possibly three if one of them is Cooking) crafting and gathering skills and really focus on those. Everyone needs to know how to cook unless you are in a guild or have a friend who will cook you the best stuff.
-Also, if you get in good with a guild you might find they give away inventory space gear, food, and other buffs.

-So there's something you should be aware of. After years of being a hidden gem, a few players found Project Gorgon whether during a Steam sale or watching a Twitch Streamer or Youtuber covering the game. Some of these viewers or new people started playing the game and noticed that sometimes the veterans playing the game would bend over backwards to help these new players, sometimes gifting free inventory space gear, buffs, or providing advice on builds, and etc.

 For some of these new players, this was unheard of for MMO gamers to do. So when they went to do their Steam review or another Youtube review of their own, they would wax poetic about how great the community was. Now, by itself, there is nothing wrong with this, but some really clever trolls realized just how proud the community was of helping genuinely new players get acclimated to the game, so in order to provoke a hostile reaction, they did the most offensive thing they could possibly do and leave bad reviews about the game complaining about the community.
-I had the unfortunate experience of watching someone who was banned for verbal abuse spin up demo account after demo account complaining about the community in Demo chat one night when the game was attracting a lot of new players. In one event, someone even paid for another account just to be able to complain in Global about it.

In one event, someone even paid for multiple accounts in a foreign currency multiple times just to be able to complain in Global about the game.
 In other instances, they will post to Reddit complaining about a mundane feature not being available for VIP or complaining that VIP gives X or something. Then, if you question them about why they really even need that, they complain about how the community is so horrible. In other words, most of the reasons why you sometimes see insults to the community is because the clever trolls know it gets under the playerbase's skin.
