Basic control

Spend your practices and trains
Every new level comes with new practices and trains. These should be
put into skills/stats/health as soon as is available. Good players
generally have few unspent practices and what to do with their new
ones figured out before they even get them. It is wise to save a
few for contingencies.
Learn to run away
The most effective way of staying alive is to run away from the fights.
Players can move fast and should have no difficulty escaping unless
hindered by a spell or skill (including lag from their own skills).
Run circles around the area to tire out your opponent and waste
his purple potions. If he persists chasing you can even run all the
way across the world. Eventually he will lose the trail and you
will be able to return to your guildhall.
Learn to use aliases and shortcuts
Using aliases can save a lot of time in typing. e.g. alias 1 drink barrel
You can store up to 10 aliases, and more if your MUD client lets you
have them. It also pays to use things like 'di dan' instead of 'dirt danarubin', when you
are fighting players.
Watch the prompt!
Your health will change to yellow and then to red to indicate its a
really good time to run off. Keeping an eye on your health and on
how much mana and movement you have left (or any other things you have
put in prompt, like combat styles) should be a part of your playing.
Survival tricks
Use recall potions for a clean getaway
Healing items (like heart of the nymph in emerald) are a quick fix for low health
Give yourself room to use any healing/escape spells you have. This is especially
true when you have just learnt them and they're still 75%.
Practicing skills (especially defences) helps live a little longer.
