1.11 A Guide for New Players
Welcome to Aetolia, The Midnight Age!
As a new player, you will undoubtedly be confused. Below are a list of
files that you should probably read. Reading them in order is best, but
if you feel you already know what you need to about a certain topic, you
may skip some of these files. To read these files, simply type HELP
<filename>. For instance, HELP MUDINTRO. Capital letters are not
necessary. There is a lot of information, but after reading this
sequence of files, you will be prepared to begin your life in Aetolia!
Remember too that there is a newbie channel (just type NEWBIE <your
question> in order to speak to people listening to that channel.
Furthermore, Guides (HELP GUIDES) may be on-line and available to help
you. The sole purpose of Guides is to help you, a new player.
Note that these files are arranged in a standard outline form. The
headings of the sections are not help files in and of themselves, though
they may share the same name as one of the files in that heading. Many
of these files refer to other help files which contain further
information on that subject. Though some of the basic help files are
listed here, they are by no means the only help files. Typing HELP on
its own will give you an index to all the help files.
If you've finished the novice introduction, and met Ghantia, Svisle, and
the rest, then you can probably ignore the Communication, Your
Character, and Guilds and Skills sections.
