Items of note to all players
--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
-ALL PLAYERS LEVEL 5 AND UNDER ENJOY THE PROTECTION OF THE GODS.
Type "help new" and "help pk" for more information on what this means. The
most important thing is that as long as you do not loose your protection
from the gods, NOBODY may kill you or in any way contribute to your death.
This rule is strictly enforced. Report any problems to a member of the
Administration through mudmail (post office is s 2e of the CoT by mailing
to "admin". We want you to have fun, and not worry about getting pk'ed
for the first few levels. In addition to this, you will enjoy use
of the 'town' command. Simply type town, and you will be transported
back to the middle of town. Also see, help town. Also in addition to
this, you will enjoy use of the 'guild' command. Simply type guild, and
you will be transported back to your guild. Alos see, help guild
-READ WHAT HELP FILES YOU CAN. It may be tedious, but there is some useful
stuff there. (learn how the "hp" and "wimpy" commands work. Both of these
will help prevent unwanted deaths. use the "check" command too)
-ALWAYS USE THE 'CONSIDER' COMMAND ON MONSTER BEFORE YOU EVER START TO
KILL IT! So many new players don't do this, and end up getting killed by
monsters that are WAY out of their league, don't be one of them.
-DON'T EXPLORE TOO FAR AFIELD (unless you want to tempt fate).
This is optional, but many a new player has met their death because they
were wandering around in an unknown area and lost, and stumbled upon an
aggressive monster. It's usually best to wait till you know what's what,
before attempting long treks. HOWEVER, if you happen to meet your demise
in some unfortunate "hunting accident," help is not far away. You can
return to the nearest church with the "temple" command and get a free
ressurection by "pray"ing.
-YOUR EQUIPMENT IS NOT SAVED WHEN YOU QUIT UNLESS YOU
USE THE EQUIPMENT SKILL.
So if you are going to leave the game, or if there is going to be a
reboot (due to war or whatever), sell them. The locker room (south of
main shop) is an exception to this, you may want to go here and read
about them yourself. The basic details about them is that for 20k gold,
you may purchase a locker space. Items can then be stored there. Given
the price, this ususally refers to rather nice items. HOWEVER, the gold
that you are carrying is saved with your character and will not be lost
if you quit (Though, after level 5 and the loss of protection, it may
be stolen. Learn about the bank sometime before then).
-DARKNESS SUCKS (if you can't see in the dark). Every once in a while, a
room that was once lighted, will turn dark on you. Type "time" and see
what time of day it is. A lot of areas go dark at night so always carry a
light source or two with you. Note: Newbie torches don't always last all
that long. Magic torches (cheap, and found in most item shops) are a
good bet.
