Chrono: Your idea of wives makes me sad. I assure you, and everyone, families and friends have nothing to do with the lack of a complete tutorial.

A while back, I had a plan to make a tutorial and the reason I didn't came down to 1 thing. Sure, there's too much to cover and all the topics are too complex to really do them justice. But, the number one reason I stopped any sort of plan to make a tutorial is that there just no reason for one. There's not many new people flowing into the community. Of those new people, only a few might actually look at the tutorials before charging headlong into the engine. And then there's the even smaller amount of people that would actually benefit from whatever tutorial you or I might actually create. Which basically means any tutorial made would be for only a hand full of people. That being the case, it's just easier to sit here on the forum and answer questions as they come. Sure it's not as fancy, but if we wanted to be all fancy, with sparkles and such, we wouldn't be working with a graphically limited engine. :V

I assure you it was a joke(a bad one at that).

Very good points. One day I believe deep in my heart that OHRRPGCE will have these sparkles and such, you just got to believe! :angel: I pray every night to the Mana goddesses that OHR will be something grand.

Well, there's your problem.

"And in that day, there shall be many that shall say, I am the Mana Goddess, and I am the Mana Tree. Fools, know ye not that there is but one Mana Goddess? Yea, and though the Mana Tree die and be reborn, there is but one Mana Tree." -Undine 5:7-8

The Great Mana Schism came about when the Eastern Orthodox Church of Mana declared Luna as canon and Aura apocryphal.
