Colossus Guild Leader,

Hero

Hey can you do me a favor a teach me how to go to options while all these chinese letters are there? i wanna change the resolution, put it into window mode, and optimize the graphics for minimal lagg

Umm I would just recommend just running through the first quest, it's apart of
the tutorial and it's very simple. After that you can put in the English Patch and
adjust the settings there, just bare with the lag for now d=(^.^)

I cant make the patch for englishhh HELPPP

if my friend made a priest and i made a warrior how do we meet up?
hes in the snow village, im in the green one.

When I click the start button a window pops up and it shows 3 button when i click them it sends me to the Dn site, how do i play now happens everytime i click the start button -.-

OK i got a question.... can we make more than one char with the english patch installed cause i wanna make a pally later. So do i have to delete the files in the subfolder or should it be fine if you guys can help me out that would be great!

The guide was super! although now i have a bit of a problem, i believe i followed everything correctly but my game seems to endlessly load after i select my character, any idea whats up?

EDIT: NVM solved with re-install
