How to Role-Play (RP)
In Character (IC)
In Character (IC) refers to everything role-play wise that your character says and does; when speaking IC, simply type what your character says right into open chat, chat does not necessarily have to be in Old or Shakespearean English, but it should be kept more formal as if you are a Noble living in the Middle Ages
Out of Character (OOC)
Out of Character (OOC) refers to everything outside the role-play world or "off stage", everything that you, not your character, says and does; when speaking OOC, simply type after the command /ooc
Brief Explanation of Role-Play (RP)
The entire In Character world is like a big movie set with the cameras rolling and everything. Once you step onto the set, you are like an actor playing the character that you decide to create for the movie/world. This character can be anything you want: warrior, scientist, tavern keep, businessman, fortune teller, medicine man, guardsman, soldier, advisor to a king, lonely adventurer, etc.
You act out your actions by typing the action between two *'s (example: *waves*)

You act out your words by simply typing the words into the normal chat box

If you must speak OOC.. simply place what you need to say after the command /ooc. Speaking OOC (Out of Character) should be limited at all times. Use it only for discussing real life world issues, Active Worlds in general, advertising other worlds, or talking about technologies that wouldn't be around in the Renaissance/middle ages time frame.

How to Play the Game
Viewing Inventory/Skill Levels
Simply click on the health bars in the top left corner of your screen OR type /stats or /s for short into open chat and you will see a readout in the chat screen containing all of your inventory items, skill levels, personal note, etc. These are your game stats. You may improve the skills given here through multiple use.
Banking Money (SP)
1) Go to the bank at 55s 30w
2) Buy a Prolix Bank Card by clicking the card on the counter where it says to "Click here to buy a Prolix Bank Card"
3) Click the banker behind the counter
4) Say either /deposit x sp   or /withdraw x sp

Of course, in that last line, replace the "x" with the amount of sp you want to deposit/withdraw, this can range anywhere from 1 to 1000000, depending on how much you have

Note that money in this world is measured in SPs, which stands for "Silver Pieces"

You WILL lose any money that is carried in your inventory if you are killed, so it is VERY important that you bank your money
Fighting Others
To fight others, simply click the button in the top left corner of the screen labelled "Combat Mode" and click on another's avatar until you see a "You have killed..." message. Each nation may have specific rules regarding who to kill and who not to kill, so make sure you understand how your home nation deals with these things so you don't get in trouble!

Giving Items to Others

The command is the following:

/give (quantity of item) (item) to (person)

Example: /give 2 dull swords to Garrick

/give 1 baby shark to Garrick


Selling Items for Money (SP)

  1. Go to the merchant person @ 52s 30w
  2. Click her avatar (stay within 1 coordinate)
  3. Type /sell (quantity of item) (item name)
  4. You will then receive the proper amount of SP back in exchange for your items

Buying Items with Money (SP)

The business district is located around the coordinates 52S 30W all along the river

If you go there, you will find a lot of different shops that sell various goods, including weapons. All you have to do is click on the item to buy it if it's in a shop

Ways to Make Money (SP)

Food Gathering

Fishing: Start this one by buying a fishing rod from inside the tent at 70s 27w, then walk up to any open sea or lake area and type /use fishing rod and click the water and you will receive a message every minute about the success of your fishing (if you caught a fish and if so, what kind of fish), then just click the water again to repeat the process

Harvesting: First, you need to buy a sickle by clicking on a crate in the tent located at 59s 37w. Then, type /use sickle. From here, your job is to explore the forest that spans out westward from this tent. There are several vines, trees, and other plants in the forest that you will find to be clickable. If your food gathering skill is sufficient enough, you will be able to harvest the fruits from the trees.

Resource Gathering

Crystal Mining: Start this one by buying a pickaxe from inside the tent at 70s 27w (same tent fishing rod is in), then go to the Crystal Mines at 55s 140w, just enter the tunnel all the way to the end, turn left, and jump through the gate onto the rocks so you don't fall to your death in the lava (this is tricky but you'll get the hang of it eventually), then type /use pickaxe and click any of the crystal deposits and wait for a message saying you have mined a chunk of crystal, then repeat the process

Gold/Iron/Copper Ore Mining: Start this one by buying a pickaxe from inside the tent at 70s 27w (same tent fishing rod is in), then go to the Ore Mines at 2n 46e, just enter the tunnel until you find a cave with lots of stone mining deposits, then type /use pickaxe and click any of the gold, iron, or copper deposits and wait for a message saying you have mined a gold ore, iron ore, or copper ore, then repeat the process

Silver Ore Mining: You can start this one similar to the way you start crystal, gold, iron, and copper mining by first getting a pickaxe from the tent at 70s 27w inside the GZ area. Then you need to run over to 36n 25w inside the cave entrance to the silver ore mines. The silver deposits are marked by mushrooms, so once you get inside the cave, be sure to walk around inside until you find the mushrooms. Then the silver deposit should be apparent to you. Just type /use pickaxe and click the silver deposit.

Hunting

The point in hunting is basically to explore the forests and seas, for clickable animals that can be "hunted". All you have to do is click animal object, and instantly you will either have killed the creature or be killed by the creature. Most animals will yield a slab of meat, which can be sold just like any other item at 52s 30w!
