A neat little trick
   

i bet you guys have already figured this out, but you know how when you're first starting some areas in the camps are off limits? like the castle in the old camp or the mages in the new camp or y'berion in the swamp camp. ive found out if you have you're weapon drawn while you run up the guards that would other wise keep you from gaining enterance, they'll let you pass. hehe i admit to have used it often. i normally dont use bugs like this, but since i found it out myself i do.

another neat little thing i figured out: in the free mine, you know that area closed off by wooden boards behind the orc slave? if you walk up to it, draw your weapon, start hacking & slashing, as you step forward you'll pass through it as if you were using a walk through walls hack. you can do the same thing to get back to where you were.

I was able to pass through the wall without doing anything.

The draw-weapon-and-run is a well known exploit. Still, some of the newer players won't know it for sure.

You can walk through the boards behind Tarrok just like Moonslash said, they are insubstantial.

That is a well known trick. I wouldn't call it a bug though.

I think that trick ruins the game-play... enter the castle just from the beginning removes the desire to try all for lets the ppl accept you inside... (my opinion...)
