Newbie Help

   Welcome to Mystical MUD and thank you for choosing to try it out!
Mystical MUD is unlike any other MUD.  It has thirteen single classes, and
there are five more unique classes that have set combinations of dual
and tri-classes.  As for races, there are 40 available in total!  And
Mystical MUD boasts a great remort system allowing you to move onto
more powerful races as you progress.  Another major advantage is that
we have REAL-TIME HEALING, no more waiting 30-90 seconds to heal or gain
that last bit of mana needed to cast a spell like you have to on other
muds!  We also have a great team of quest immortals to provide you with
regular quests involving role-playing and lots of fun.  Other notable
features include the ability to start and run your own clan or join an
existing one, the 100s of skills and spells between the classes, the
option to partake in player-killing (PK) activities, and over 15000
rooms to explore!  So are you ready to join us in Mystical yet? :)

   Here are a list of commands you should type in if you haven't already,
they'll make your playing experience a lot easier.  You don't need to
understand exactly what they do just now, but if you want to get a detailed
description of what they do, just use the 'help' command.  For instance, to
get help on toggle, you'd type 'help toggle'.

'display all'     - This gives you a better indication of your status, if there
                    is junk for your status prompt this should fix it
'toggle exits'    - Displays exits from the room at the bottom of the screen
'toggle autoloot' - You'll automatically loot your enemy's corpse of items
'wimpy 20'        - Will make you flee at 20% health, saving you many deaths
'color complete'  - Exactly what it says, color makes the place brighter if
                    your computer supports it.

NEWBIE HELP - HOW TO MOVE AROUND 

   In Mystical there are 6 basic directions you can move in: east, west,
north, south, up and down.  Funnily enough, the commands to move in those
directions are the same as I just listed, or you can shorten them to just
the first letter which is likely all you'll do before long.  So to go east,
you would simply type 'east' or 'e' and if the room you are in has an
eastern exit, then you'd move that way.

   So how do you view whether a room has an exit in the direction you want
to go?  Well an easy way is just to type 'exits' which displays a list of
the room's exits and where they lead to.  You can also type 'look' to look
at the room you're in and the exits are listed in short form below the room.
(if the exits aren't there, look at 'help easier')  This is the most
convenient way to see the exits in a room.
