There are several things that new mudders should do when they first
enter the mudding world. The first thing they should do is familiarize
themselves with the help files of the game. Type HELP INDEX to see a
complete list of the helpfiles found on the game. This is a very long
list, so I will list the ones that are most helpful to newbies below:
1. HELP AVATAR
2. HELP NEWBIE
3. HELP LAW, LAW2, & CONDUCT
4. HELP CLANNED
5. HELP NAME
These aren't the only helpfiles you should read, but they are a good start.
Please make sure you read HELP AVATAR, it will save you a lot of misery
when you do decide to enter the PK world.

commands, north, east, south, west, up and down. You can
also use shortcuts of n, e, s , w , u and d to save time.
Please move north to continue.

Navigating~
If you type 'autoexit on' now, the mud will automatically
list what exits are around you. This makes moving around
much easier. To help you find what players and mobs are
near you, you can use the 'scan' command which shows things
immedietly around you one location in each direction.
Please move north to continue your discovery.

Equipment.~
You can pick up and wear equipment (eq) here. You may find
things lying on the ground, and to get them, simply type 'get
whatever'. Sometimes mobs or players you kill will have eq
in them. In order to see what is inside of a corpse, you
must type 'examine corpse'. This will show you a list of
all articles contained within. To get these items, type
'get whatever corpse'. To drop an item from your inventory,
type 'drop whatever'. To wear eq you have picked up, type
'wear whatever'. You may also use 'get all', 'drop all' and
'wear all' if it makes it easier for you.
Northward continues the tour.

Killing.~
Killing is very brutal and barbaric, but if you didn't
like it, you wouldn't be here. Killing is very easy. Just
type 'kill whatever', or you can type 'k' as a shortcut for kill.
Almost all commands have a shortcut, try a few out.
TIP : sacrafice corpses for a gold coin (very usefull) 'sac corpse'.

Score command tells you all you ever needed to know about yourself
but were afraid to ask. It has all your vital stats listed there.
For information on each one, continue through this area until you
meet the Guardian and simply ask him for help on each one by saying
the word. For example, 'say hp' for information on what hp (hit
points) are, and he will help you out.

BACKUP.~
This command is very basic and easy to understand. It has a room
of its own because it is often forgotten about, and players go
on for weeks or months having never used the command and not
worrying ... until something goes wrong! Backup copies your
player-file (your character) to a backup directory, so that if
anything happens to you which shouldn't, like a bug, or your file
gets destroyed in a crash (it can happen) then we have a copy
of you nice and safe to quickly and easily back-you-up. If,
however, you didn't use the command, you are stuffed! theres
literally nothing we can do for you.
USE IT REGULARLY, or you WILL regret it.
We advise you to use it at least once each time you mud. The best
habit is to save and backup before you leave each time you play.
It is also advisable to save and backup after you achieve something
important, ie. mastery of a new stance or spell, etc.
(You cannot use it yet, as you are not yet saved. You can only save
after you make five mob kills.)

Basics over!~
That wasn't so bad was it, eh?
That's your basics over with. East of here is the Guardian who can
answer many of your questions. When you are in the room with him,
type 'say hints' and he will tell you a list of hints he has for you
to choose from.
If you still have problems, try looking at the help files and type
'help whatever'. If you're still in doubt after that, then ask a
player or deity - they will help you along.

otherwise affected by any other player in the game, so think carefully before doing it.

character)to a backup directory in case you ever get an error. If this occurs,
you can quickly and easily get your charactor back by mailing the account on the
Message of the Day. If you FAIL to use this command and get a problem, there
is very little we can do for you ... you have been warned. We reccomend you backup

Stances.~
Vampire Wars has 10 stances, 4 basic and 6 advanced. Stances are purely for combat,
they are a tactical and strategic feature which make fighting a whole lot more fun.
Each one has its advantages and bonuses, and its weaknesses. See if you can work
out the best combination for fighting in, against each of the stances.
See help stances for more info.

Onward Adventurer ...~
This is the gateway from the safety of the newbie instruction area out in
to the cold harsh world, well actaully in to the newbie zone where you can
hunt and kill to gain those important 5 mob kills and get some experience.
Go North and Down to the temple square where you can be transported into
the prehistoric newbie area where you can start your journey in safety.
(For a short period of time)
Good luck brave adventurer!
