 +Below you will find select help files from the game itself.  There is much more to Mystical than what is covered in these sections but the best way to learn is to ask someone for help.  Our player base is super helpful so please just ask!
 +
 +What is a MUD?  Volumes could be written about this alone but to put it simply, a MUD is a text-based adventure game.  Some MUD's are strictly roleplay enforced which means you are expected to stay in character at all times when interacting with players.  Mystical is not roleplay-centric so you do not have to remain "in character" at all times or at all.  If you do want to roleplay please do as most players will roleplay back with you.  To cover more about what a MUD is I am linking to the Wikipedia article covering MUD's. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD]]
 +
 +**How to connect to Mystical**
 +
 +The most traditional way to log into a MUD is with telnet, which is available on most operating systems on the command line.  If telnet is too ancient for you to use there are [[http://www.mysticalmud.org/downloads.html|MUD clients]] for every platform imaginable.  To connect with telnet or a MUD client you will need to start the program and connect to:\\
 +''url: mysticalmud.org''\\
 +''port: 5000''\\
 +
 +If this is too much to handle right now you can log in easily at the web portal.  It is good enough to at least get your feet wet but it isn't as good as a real MUD client.  Find the web portal here:\\

 +Stats 
 +
 +This command will display nearly all the vital statistics and 
 +attributes of your character. You can even see how many kills
 +you've made, how many times your character has died, and when
 +your character was created.
 +
 +SCORE 
 +
 +Whenever you want to check whether you're still alive and healthy
 +or simply want to see how much money you have left. You can also
 +view your current alignment here, which can affect what equipment
 +you can use.

 +**Help I got lost!**
 +
 +There is a command to return you to familiar territory:
 +<code>
 +When you need to get back to town or to your clanhouse, you can recall.  You
 +may also automatically recall if you take too much damage in battle if you have
 +auto-recall toggled on.  Recalling with the RECALL command costs you 500 gold
 +per level unless you are level 20 or lower then it's free.  Using the CLAN
 +RECALL command costs 250 gold per level.  The "word of recall" spell will also
 +cause you to recall and costs only the mana to cast it.
 +
 +To use the recall command, just type "recall !".
