I suggest it be enshrined somewhere on the main page. Give it a link. Casual website hits can browse through it and say "Hey, that's pretty damn skippy, they have elementalists. I'll give it a spin". Or they can say "Holy crap, we don't get super spanky artifacts and can't pkill. Screw this" and bounce along to an inferior mud. Sure, we know it exists here. Sure, we can spam the URL out over NHC. It'd be much more convenient to just spam out http://www.sojourn3.org/newbiehelp.html or whatever. Just a little thought from an even littler brain.

might want to add "goodie" "evil" "smoke" "shift" "ghetto taxi/taxi" terminology.

Goodie - A good race player.
Evil - Usually refered to as an evil race player. Ex. Cherzra is an evil.

I would also suggest adding what weapon dice does, like what in the world does 4d3 mean. I remember when I was new here I had no clue what it was. Also, how about a description of the MUD's theme and what people usually do. Forgotten Realms theme MUD. PvE (Player vs Environment), arena only PvP, most people sit around and chat or explore and do quests. Keep up the good work Cherzra.

Down right awesome. Something else I think would be beneficial, more zone acronyms. I've been around quite a while, tho never high, and there are still acronyms that I don't know what they mean. Maybe go through the credits list and put down all the shorthand for the zones.

Like I just found out the other day SF was Southern Forest.

Yeah, good suggestions for making this more accessible.

Cherzra, thanks for your work on the new Warrior guide, and to Todrael for his Necro guide!

Check them out if you havent.

Updated with some more abbreviations, changed some more commands to italics, rewrote some parts so that they should be easier to understand.

In the combat section you may want to put in information about disp all and tog vic. You reference the mob condition but they wont see that on their display unless they do this.

At least have them type help disp and help toggle.

This is a great document. Just sent it to a friend who is thinking of coming to play.

It's there, you didn't read good enough.
