Newbie help

Postby Kaltar » Sat Dec 27, 2003 10:49 pm

You may already do this and I might not have found it please direct me to it if you have, but I'm new here and I have no idea how to do anything. I sorry if this is a stupid request but I just need help understanding what to do. I don't know maybe a starters guide in the iventory to help newbies out. I get the concept but it's just hard to figure out how to enter buildings or when you knock nothing happens....I just would like a little help understanding it and I know other people who just start would to.
I know in the some of the Muds i used to play they used to do that...just an idea..

Well, this is quite different to a mud because although you'll see other people around they may well not actually be online to check on everything that happens, so when you knock on a door or talk to somebody they may not respond for a day or just a few hours.

As for getting others like you started, there probably is a new introduction guide being made buts it probably got put right down at the bottom because there haven't been many if any request for one.

I'm pretty sure you should be able to figure out what each section of your characters page is for, you should also be able to work out whats food and whats not when you see it on the location section. Usually if you ask someone IC about something they will tell you about it, just remember that if you need an OOC answer to do it on the forum as it won't break the 'atmosphere' in the game.

We can always explain some basic features i think?

1) Harvest food. clik on "location". You'll probably see some asparagus, potatoes, carrots, rice, or spinach. those are foods you can eat right away. Harvest them. There's some healing foods ingame too, you can eat those by clicking on the :eat" button to get back some strength. Contrary to the regular food, you won't eat them automatically. Some locations dont have ready to eat food. Like for instance Rye or wheat. That need to be processed first.

2) Talk to other people. As there is a time limit of 200 minutes per day, ppl are not online continously, but log in, check char's, do something and log out again. Like camino said, when you say something, ppl might not respond right away. Have patience.


3) when you want to enter buildings you must stop working on any project, otherwise the "enter button" will not be shown. This is the type of thing asked a lot ingame. When you knock all that happens is that any person on the other side of the doors hears the knocking as they dont hear anything else going on on the other side.

These are the most basic answers to get you started, the rest you'll need to find out ingame. Ask and learn. ;)
