Now, you've taken your first steps into Alsherok. You will learn and see many things that will amaze you and hopefully make you want to come back for more. Don't be afraid to try out new things. If something doesn't work out, try another approach. You solve more that way. When you first enter the game proper, don't hesitate to contact any other player on the who list and ask for help. This is especially important if you need directions to go to certain places or to learn how to do things. If they are able to help, they usually will. Seek out important places such as the nearest shops, the donation room where you can find free starting equipment, the nearest inn, your guild house, the city fountain and the nearest safe place which you can explore. Knowledge of these places can make mudding life easier in the Lands. Try to wear and use different combinations of equipment. Sometimes you will find that certain things work better than others. For example a sword in the hands of a Warrior is much better than a stick to fight with. Experiment and test out every feature we have. And if you aren't satisfied with the character you chose initially, simply delete it and choose another which suits your tastes. It's that easy! The main aim is to have fun and add to the life in Alsherok so give it a go.
In the famous words of Alsherok's implementor, Samson, "Drop by for a look, stay for the adventure."
