As for Deyja, the only shops there are the Magic and a couple of guilds, as well as the Temple. Tavern and Stables kind of a hike away. Also, Town Portal doesn't drop you anywhere there --- unless you have Lloyd's Beacon, you have to Town Portal to the Pit, then go through the Hall Of the Pit and head outside.

What I really like about MM7 over MM6 are the facts:
- That guards actually guard places - cities and castles. That they can be friendly one moment and then a moment after be hostile - I have had lots of fun with that.
- That the music is so atmospheric and emotional - I really love the Deyja theme. Yes, the music was also great in MM6, but in a slightly different way. Same thing with music in Heroes - I really like the music from H3, but somehow I like the music from H5 better. On a side note to that, I ought to mention, that EverQuest also contains some great themes of Rob King & Paul Romero, that anyone if slightly interested in their works should try to acquire. I haven't played EQ, but the musical score seems great - there is only a few recycled tracks in EQ compared to the realm of MM.
- That crappy items actually look like crap. In MM6 items were so polished it made even crappy items look great. It makes the journey from wimp/poor to overpowered/rich very visual.
- That it introduces the game of ArcoMage inside taverns. A nice break in a busy streak of killing and adventuring.
- That you got to choose from different races when setting up your party.
- That the characters are much more talkative for better or worse. It makes them much more alive and fun to play with.
- That it was tough work reaching both Nighon and Eofol. I like a good challenge and the least bit of shortcuts being present.
- That the skill Alchemy got restricted and reworked, so that it improved its potency according to the progress of the party. Being able to make black potions that allowed for an easy HP or SP refill of hundreds of points - something that you really couldn't find/buy at stores.

I always lower my expectations about my progress speed in MM7 as there aren't that many shortcuts available. I try to keep my fighting/exploring inbetween 9 am and 5 pm (leaving some time for shopping as well as getting back to a city) - you might as well train one or two levels whenever you can - preferably each day - it saves time (actually 9 hours) every time, if you time it right. Thus you'll slowly get better. Also you won't likely miss out on any timed quests.
I know it feels easier to train many levels at once like in MM6 and getting lots of skill points to distribute at the same time makes levelling up skills easier to manage.

Though, one thing I prefer about the MM7 harpies is they can't cast Mass Curse and curse your entire party from FAR away, unlike MM6. For that reason, Frozen Highlands (And Mire Of the Damned) are a royal pain for me in MM6.

I don't know anything => Nic nevํm (lit. I don't know nothing)

Nobody has ever done this yet => Nikdo to ještě nikdy neudělal (lit.: nobody hasn't never done this yet)

I've never did anything wrong to anyone => Nikdy jsem nikomu neudělal nic špatn้ho. (lit. I haven't never done nothing wrong to no one.).

(It's probably the same way in Russian. The Slavonic languages can be a bit tricky... )

He said that English was the easiest language that he knew in which to communicate (i.e. exchange basic information) effectively and among the most difficult to speak really well. In his opinion, one of the bigger stumbling blocks was its use of phrasal verbs (i.e. a verb closely followed by at least one preposition &/or adverb). These form a semantic unit whose meaning cannot usually be deduced from the meaning of the individual words. For example, if you "look up to" someone, you respect him (or her) and consider him (or her) in some way superior; you do not mean that he/she is above you in the Earth's gravitational field by, say, standing on top of a ladder – the phrase you would use there would be to "look up at" him, and that is not a phrasal verb.

I'd first become acquainted with MM6 back in 1998; my mom had played the previous games (Swords Of Xeen, etc.) and MM6 had just come out. Even though I'd never taken an interest in the previous releases, she suggested that I give MM6 a shot, as I was heavy into Microsoft Flight Simulator. (She mentioned that it was a first-person RPG, which she likened to FS.) I got home one morning (Worked third shift) and it was my Friday, so I loaded it up and said "What the heck."

Next thing I knew, it was about ten hours later; she returned from work, and I had slain hundreds of goblins in New Sorpigal, as well as fallen in love with the soundtrack. I'd also inadvertently found a quest item that she'd been racking her brain over, so in return for showing me where to return the item, I showed her where to find it.

Three tunes from MM6 that are my favorites: the main New Sorpigal tune, and also the one called "Further Exploring the Temple Of Baa." I also liked the title track, which plays when you first open the game. (It also plays in Mire Of the Damned...and it's also played outside everywhere from 2100-0000)

MM7, my favorite tunes are the ones played in Harmondale City, and also that one played in the Temple Of the Moon.

I'd neglected to mention the one from Frozen Highlands and Kreigspire, but that is another track that I loved hearing.

I've found that in New Sorpigal, it seems to have three different tracks, and that it picks one randomly when you arrive there. The one I like is on Youtube, titled as "New Sorpigal Theme."
