First off, all newly registered players are assigned a password which is
sent via e-mail. You probably have not lost that password yet (if you are
reading this while logged onto Tsunami) but to prevent the disasterous
loss of said random password, please change your password as soon!
To do this, type "password <old password>" and enter a new password. It
is also wise to change your password periodically, since it is possible
for other players to figure it out and thus abuse your characters. You
as a player, not we as the administration, are responsible for keeping
your password (and thus your character) secure.
It is against the rules to share characters or passwords.
You have already chosen a race for your character, so now let me tell
let you in on the secrets of race selection. Hopefully, you realized
how to use the "help <racename>" at the race selection prompt to get
information about said <racename>. If you wish to change your race
(or your class for that matter) you have to go through the process
of reincarnation ["help reincarnation"].
Assuming that your race is satisfactory, you now need to pick a
class for your character. Remember, some races work better for certain
classes (eg: a halfling thief), while others are noticeably worse (eg: a
half-ogre mage). All combinations are possible though and some of the
stranger ones can be quite entertaining.
The classes that are currently available on Tsunami are as follows:
Fighter, Mage, Cleric, Rogue, Monster, Undead, Dragon, Native and Fey.
Each class has a number of subclasses (eg: Fighters can specialize as
paladins, samurais, or knights). [For more information, and a complete
list of classes and subclasses, see "help classes" and "help subclasses"]
