| Welcome to this guide!
| Although I'm trying, I give no guarantee that this guide
| a) contains really every detail/issue about TomeNET and
| b) is all the time 100% accurate on every occasion.
| Don't blame me if something differs or is missing; it shouldn't though.
|
| If you have any suggestions about the guide or the game, please use the
| /rfe command in the game or write to the official forum on www.tomenet.eu.
