Is anyone else utterly, hopelessly lost?

... In a good way.

Being a long-time MMO player but typically only having played simplified, mainstream games, BDO is very very overwhelming - in the best possible way.

However, am I the only one who after the entire beta weekend still has absolutely no idea how anything works?

Horse stamina, production/processing, the limited inventory and seperate storage systems, contribution/normal/skill exp, etc etc. These are only a few (of many) features that I still don't understand.

Add that to a massive, huge game world with a hard-to-read map (not a bad thing) and I feel VERY overwhelmed and lost.

Am I the only one who feels this? Does anyone know if there are any good resources online that explain in SIMPLE terms the basic functions of many game mechanics? Because - for some reason - I find the official in-game help system not very useful.

Am I just plainly stupid? Or is this game much more complicated than first-timers would expect?
