Getting Started

The first command you should do with your newly created character is ``help rules''. Then, there are some other commands that are very useful in the beginning:

• apropos -- keyword help on commands (Very useful!)
• help -- gives you information on commands
  Some useful help topics:
  • ghost -- displays commands available to living and dead mortals
  • law -- how law/rules works
  • mortal -- displays commands available to living mortals
• who -- list the players logged on
• quit -- log out

help <command> shows the help information for a particular command, so help who would give you the help you need for using the who command.

You start the game as a puny little mortal. You have a level, that describes in general how experienced you are, and four ``stats''; Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Constitution. You start with the value 1 in all these. To increase your stats and your level, you need experience points. Basically, you can get these in two ways; killing monsters, or solving quests.
