-In many cities in [[New Sosaria]], you will come across NPCs (Non-Player Characters). Stand next to one and press '''t''' then the directional arrow towards the NPC.  The NPC will then say something (such as ''Hail adventurer!''), and you will be engaged in a conversation with that NPC. You can then reply with words that the NPC may understand, and to make things even easier, topics or words that the NPC has something to say about are highlighted. If you say something that the NPC knows nothing about, the NPC will respond with "I cannot help you with that."

 ===Conversation parser explained===
-The parser links words individually to other statements. Thus if you ask "job" and get a reply "I am a baker" you could type "baker" to get more information. The best thing to remember is that many of the keywords will be highlighted. Further discussion following the NPC's reply "I am waiting for the ''return'' of my ''beloved''" will be triggered by "return" and "beloved".

 For many of the Quest NPC's, there is a lot of back story, and it can be rewarding to find out just what the quest is actually about - for instance, the NPC's in the Mountain Pass have a whole story behind them. Some writers ([[user:Kybare|Kybare]], [[user:Catherine|Catherine]]) have added Easter Eggs into their dialogues, which are intended to give an added kick to players who spend time exploring EUO - in the Mountain Pass, try finding a hidden NPC and asking him about his creator!

-On the regular server, Lord Byron of [[Cammerata Keep]] has a quest for you to do.  Upon completing the quest, you will receive Lord Byron's Certificate.  Take this certificate to one of his three advisors.  You can then obtain quests from that advisor which are primarily designed to be tailored to each class.  For example, mage quests are likely to give mage items as a reward.  '''Note that with any one character, you can only work for one advisor.  Be careful which you choose as there is no way to reselect later!'''

-The Ultima V parser links words individually to other statements. Thus if you ask "job" and get a reply "I am a baker" you could type "baker" to get more information. Unlike Ultima VI, Ultima V gave you no hints to what to type. This is the same for the NPC's in EUO: the best thing to remember is that many of the keywords will be obvious. Thus "I am waiting for the return of my beloved" might be triggered by "return" or "beloved". The best thing to do is type frantically at an NPC as you would in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zork Zork] ~ although you might not get a response, you will be surprised at the depth that some writers have gone into making these dialogue trees. This is mostly just background and them telling a story, as quests are triggered differently - but it can lead to some amusing responses!
