Welcome to A Moment in Tyme MUD, we hope that you will enjoy your stay here.

1) Recall is the command you can use to teleport you back into town. You can use this until you are level 10.

2) There will be many places to learn and practice all your spells and skills. One is located e from recall point. Another is located e, u from recall point.

3) The ogier, the place where you can increase your characters stats, i.e. hit points, mana, strength, wisdom. He is located e from the recall point.

4) Food and water are a must. A good place to buy food is at the Minnos Inn, it is located n from the recall point. For water you just need to go to the Oval Plaza, it is located w,s,e,e,n from recall.

5) Remember we are a roleplaying based MUD, roleplaying is the most important aspect of gameplay here. Please try and always stay IC (In Character). It is suggested that you make up a background story for your character, so you know how you will react to various other individuals.

6) Please read POLICY, NEWBIE, WELCOME, and HANDBOOK. These things can help you a lot in learning how the mud runs, and the various rules/regulations you must follow.

7) If at ANY time you have a question, feel free to ask any helper you can see on-line. The titles they will have next to their names are, {Visitor's Helper), if you see none, ask an imm. They are here for helping the players. If you cant see a helper on-line, feel free to either ask over OOC, or Question /Answer. Do not use shout, it is for IC purposes only. Another nono is asking about teachers on public channels, rp with someone who might know where the teacher is.

8) There is a little history and help directly up from recall. It will help you with guild backgrounds, and other various information. For more information on a guild, you can usually type "help guildname" guildname being one of the names of a guild(ex: "help wolfkin" will give you the help file on the wolfkin guild, and point to other wolfkin help files).

9) This mud has ANSI color. To learn how to use color type "help color". To turn on color, either type "color sparse" or "color complete". To learn what colors the mud has type "help color value". Basically, you use the ` then a number for color.(ex: `1`2`3`4`5`6`7`8`!`@`#`$`%`^`&`*) To stop color bleed, use `3 for titles and doings. Use `7 for everything else.

10) This mud also has aliases, which can help you with roleplaying(rp), or using multiple commands. Type "help alias" to learn how to make them. Some useful aliases are for walking long distances, or eating and drinking. Another useful alias, even though this is a rp mud, is an OOC talking alias, there is always a time when OOC is needed to help clear things up.

11) A thing about skills, spells and forms. Don't ask for them over public channels, I'm repeating it cause it's against policy. On skills and spells, you can be taught by other players, or you can find teachers on the mud. They both get up to 100% with use. Forms are a different matter. What raises your forms, is dependent upon your int and wis, i.e..int+wis = the # your forms raise each prac. Forms, unlike skills and spells, do not go up after use, and they are only useful up to 400. So don't train them after that. Enjoy, and type NEWS for any important or recent changes. You may also want to type motd for message of the day.
