AfterWorld Survival Forum

Hi folks,

I´ve tried to start playing, but it seems not possible.
First i stuck with the tutorial. So i had to skip it.  Thats not good, but ok. Its a beta....
Now I am in the city and tried to do anything. There ist only one Task to do. And no, it doesnt´t work.
The Officer in front of the Foundry gives me over and over again the same task and i cant end it before i get the next.
What i could get as reward, I dont know.

And here we are at the next question. Where does the money come from?
I cant sell anything to an NPC. But I need Money for everything. I cant sell uncrafted things, but i need money to craft anything.
I need 100 AWD to become a citizen, but no way to earn money.
And no, the answer is not to trade with other players. The question is more: Where did the other players get the money from?

And the best thing of all are the picks. You cant get expirience with the starter pick. To get expieriance you must craft an own but without money its not possible.
So in fakt its not possible to get expierience.

And now tell me how should that work....

Hi Garrabaz, welcome to AW!

There are only two ways to get AWD, the in-game money, in your current situation: either click the Donate button here on the forums to buy it with real-world money, or sell items and resources to players that already have AWD from buying it or trading with others. AWD is purchased at the rate of 10 AWD per 1 US dollar ($1), minus a small fee charged by the service you choose to use to purchase the AWD. So if you buy $11 worth you'll have more than 100 AWD and can buy citizenship immediately, plus a few steel picks.

If you really don't want to spend money you'll have to work your way up from ground level. This means using your Steel Pick NE to collect enough resources to trade with another player for AWD or non-NE steel picks so that you can pick more efficiently after a while of gaining skills. However, it is very common for older players to give one or more regular, skill-giving steel picks to brand new players such as yourself, so just mention in the global "local" chat that you are new and need some help and you'll almost certainly get more than you expect.

Maybe you missed the part where this game will eventually allow you to take money back out? It's not very well advertised because it might be a long time before it happens, but this is the HUGE difference between nearly every other free-to-play game out there.

Garrabaz, try again on the 10th of september when the new update comes and economy changes go into place. But the secret in this game if you wanna play for free is to trade. As simple as that.
