(0.1a) Character validation                                                     
---------------------------
When you create a new account, it will always start out as "invalid". This just
means that it is in a trial phase and needs to be approved by an admin or
another player who has validation privileges. This is done to prevent spam.

Invalid characters cannot drop items, privately chat with other players, or
advance beyond level 25.

Usually, all you have to do is to keep playing/stay online for a bit until an
admin or someone else who possesses validation powers logs in, notices that you
are new, apparently not a spammer or duplicate, and validates your account.
If that doesn't seem to happen, just ask in chat openly.

Pressing '@' key will show the list of logged in players. A yellow '(I)' before
a name will indicate an 'invalid' account.


You could continue reading at (3.2) now, which explains the user interface,
or glance at (8.1), (8.2) or (8.3) first which explain some basic strategy.

If you ever get stuck in a problematic situation where you feel you either
cannot defeat a certain monster or you cannot advance your character the way
you'd like to, check out (8.3a)!
