'INTRODUCTION' Welcome to the Abandoned Realms helpfiles. This helpfile contains information about the world of Abandoned Realms itself. Abandoned Realms is a roleplaying enforced, playerkilling encouraged MUD. This is not a world you will spend your time in alone. There will be many other adventurers you run into, in the lands. Some of these adventurers will become your greatest allies. Others will be enemies, who you may well be living in fear of. These are real people, and they will have ambitions and goals just like you. The people are what give Abandoned Realms its charm and make this a real experience. The world of Abandoned Realms has been in existence since 1997. During that time, many changes have been made to the rom 2.4 codebase it began from. There are literally thousands of rooms, hundreds of skills and spells that you will only find in this world. During your travels, you will have many problems and obstacles to overcome. The first step to learning a skill properly is to read the helpfile. A helpfile will exist for just about everything you can think of. Because this is a complex world, from time to time things can go wrong, and mishaps happen. If you see things that seem out of place, the BUG and TYPO commands do us a valuable service. If you still have problems, after trying the helpfiles, you may contact the other players to inquire about the problem and get help. Some players, particularly those who are playing evil characters, may refuse to help as a matter of roleplaying. Others will be willing to give you a hand. This is a good way to make initial friends. If you need help from an Immortal, then there are several methods you can use: * Notice boards - visit http://www.abandonedrealms.com/forum * note to IMMORTAL * use the PRAY channel * email us - http://www.abandonedrealms.com Lastly, enjoy your stay, and welcome to the Abandoned Realms!
