Upon logging in, your avatar will spawn (see [[Spawning]]) in a village called [[Newtown]] (NT), you spawn here the first time you play, and also when you die (there are some exceptions).
Do not steal in and around NT. The guards will quickly make swiss cheese of your body.
The White Light (aka The White Beam, The White Thingy...ma bob),The White Pole Etc. This is the [[Altar of Three]] where you can convert to any of the good [[Gods]].
*[[Magranon]]
*[[Fo]]
*[[Vynora]]
If you head North West from the [[White Light]] you will eventually find the [[Black Light]] where you can convert to the evil Goddess [[Libila]]. <i>NOTE</i> - If you join Libila you automatically become Horde of the Summoned aka 'Blacklighter' (HOTS) and cannot spawn or go anywhere near NT.
If you get stuck in a large pit or cave and definitely cannot get out or if you find a bug/glitch Etc, type '/dev' to contact any of the GM's/Devs if they are online. <br>(See [[Helpful_People]]). Please use this feature sparingly.

'''Thirst''' : Rightclick Water and select Taste to see if it's alright. If it is, rightclick the water again and select Drink.<br>
'''Hunger''' : Forage for food by rightclicking on grass and select Nature > Forage. This type of food can only be eaten when your character is starving. You are going to need to cook the food in order to eat it when you are hungry. This will be explained later.<br>

You may ignore somebody with the command '''/ignore''', followed by their username. Unignoring is accomplished the same way. Ignoring a GM or a dev is a bannable offense.

=Death and Dying=
When you die you will loose 0.25 skill if you are off a deed, on a deed you will loose 0.025 skill. Also, you will be on a red and black screen with a little box in the middle, you will have to choose where you want to respawn. If you are dead and you cannot see the little box, type /respawn in your chat window.
While you have no deed, or are not an [[Alliance|ally]] of one, you will only be able to spawn at [[Newtown]] or start (also [[Newtown]]). When you are on a deed, you will be able to [[Spawning|spawn]] there, if that deed has any [[Alliance|allies]] you will be able to [[Spawning|spawn]] there also.
