Welcome! This section of the guide is mostly for players who are brand new to a fantasy adventuring MUD. Here you will find help on basic interface with the game environment with links to various other parts of the guide, as well as other helpful sources of information.

At all times, you must remember that you are in a medieval fantasy environment, and should act as such. Please do not speak or act out of character (OOC); that is, do not speak of real life things or of game mechanics (such as asking someone their rank in Medium Armor or how much XP they get from killing hell hounds). If you see someone behaving in this manner, politely whisper asking to please stop the behavior. Such behavior is against Eaxia Online's Player Policy that every account owner agrees to upon signing up.

For starters, everyway you interact with the game and other adventurers involves text. There is a wide array of commands that allow you to broaden these interactions. Let's go over each topic one by one.

Interaction with Other Adventurers

A myriad of ways can be used to express yourself to others. You can speak to other players as well as interact with them using a wide variety of role-playing commands or verbs. A detailed list of these commands has been compiled by Astrid.

Interaction with your Environment

Please feel free to explore the world and ask questions if needs be. There are those (players and staff) who are more than willing to make your experience in Eaxia a pleasant one.
