Welcome to The Lost Realm! You have just joined an
excellent game with many activities and a great community. There are
several basics to cover in order for you to be successful and popular in
the game.
As a new member to the game, you may be referred to
by other players as a “newbie,” “newb,” or
“n00b.” This term is both one of affection (as players
remember back when they just started and didn’t know anything) as
well as a slight insult. By reading this file it is hoped you will avoid
some of the mistakes newer players make that might annoy the players who
have been around longer.
First, Congratulations! By reading this file (and
others mentioned below) you will have a basic knowledge of the game and
its features, you will have several questions answered before you even
know to ask them. Please read all of the help files before asking
questions of other members. In addition to this file you should check
out:
Game FAQ (Frequently
asked Questions) These will cover:
All of these files can be accessed by clicking the
“Help Files” link in the lower right corner of your screen.
There are additional resources to help new members.
Make sure you review the Message Board Thread “Questions
Board” where there is an excellent “Newbie Guide.” You
will also see posts there from other new members asking questions. By
reading these files first you may even be able to answer some of their
questions, and then you are well on your way to becoming an
“Oldbie.”
If you have reviewed all of the help files and reviewed
the Newbie Guide and still have questions you can:
1) Post your question on the Questions Board and check back frequently
for one or more answers to your question. There are several different
strategies in the game for players to be successful so you might get a
variety of different answers, or
2) Visit the Chat Room. One of the outstanding features of this game is
the community. Members frequently stop by to chat and have fun. These
members, as well as the staff members in chat are always willing to help
out if it appears you have done the reading recommended.
3) When you are just beginning, it is asked that you not
“mail” staff questions, as they are busy with their
responsibilities and may not be able to respond quickly. However, you
will often find our very active staff in the Chat Room as mentioned
above.
Another way to explore the game is to click all the
links and see what you can learn. You will discover battling, mining,
more about your fellow members, “top player” lists and more!
By following these guidelines you will get a very
good understanding of the game and how it is played. The most important
aspect is that you have fun and enjoy your time in the Lost Realm.
