Starting out as a newbie on Darker Realms: Basically, you want to attain experience, coins, and quest points. You gain experience by killing monsters and solving puzzles, and attain coins in many ways including selling treasures you find. You gain quest points by completing quests. Find the Adventurers' Guild and read about the quest system. You move around with cardinal-direction commands (n, se). Other commands will be required, such as 'get' and 'wield'. If you are familiar with LPMud in general, please type 'help newbie2'. If you are new to mudding altogether, see 'help newbie'. Armor and weapons are extremely useful when fighting monsters. If you die, you will lose 1/4 of your experience, and maybe a level. You will then need to return to the endoplasmatorium/church to regenerate. You can use the 'who' command to see who is playing. Type 'help' for a basic list of commands. Have fun! See also: communication, death, experience, guilds, levels, movement, newbie, newbie2, newbie3, questing, quests, who.
