Hello, I completed the Kobold Encampment quest and it told me to buy a shield and recruit a wizard. The first thing I did was recruit the wizard and then I went to the armory and bought a shield. After that no new areas showed up on the map. I went back to the tavern and was able to recruit a third wizard. I'm not sure what I can do or if I can even start over. I don't really want to make another account to continue my journey. Thank you for your time.
While this issue is being sorted - refreshing/relogging can help. If need be, press multiplayer button and delete the third character in the mp keep as you'll have issues recruiting your cleric at the end of the tutorial otherwise.
I went to the multiplayer keep and deleted the third wizard. Nothing really happened so I tried to deleted the other wizard and recruit one again but that didn't change anything. My party is just a warrior and wizard now.
Did the restart change anything - or did you go the mp keep in the same session? Have you purchased the shield for your warrior? (that last bit is probably not the reason, just checking)
I have reloaded the page before and after the recent server reset. I have the shield on my warrior too.
