Getting Started
First and foremost welcome the wonderful world of Wake, if you
have already read some of the other documentations under the "World" and
"Game" sections of the site, then your probally ready to get started
adventuring. If you are logging into Wake for the first time, or are new
to mud gaming in general, here are some things you will need to know and
expect:
Basics
A MUD (multi-user dungeon), is an online game in which PC (player
characters, thats you) interact with and within a virtual world
described entirely in text. A player is able to read the description of
the room he/she is in, as well as interact with any player, or NPC
(non-character player also know as a mob), or object. They interect with
their enviroment via commands, a list of common helpful commands to get
you started can be found by typing HELP while connected in the game with
your character.
Connecting
All online text-based games require a client or telnet portal to connect
to the game, the easiest way to connect to ours is by clicking the "Web
Portal" link on the sidebar, this will load a telnet window that will
automatically connect you to Wake. This route however limits your
ability to customize your gaming experience, as stand alone clients
offer a variety of utilities that enrich your game.
Visit our Links page for some suggested clients.
And use the following connection information to get onto Wake!
TCP/IP Address: Wakemud.com
Port Number 2177
Creating A Character
Once you have connected, the game will ask you for your character's name
and a password to begin with. Make sure your password contains at least
6 letters and 2 numbers as a guidline, to prevent someone from
attempting to hack your character. Creating a character is very simple
here at Wake, as there are just a few sections, and you should find that
they are fairly easy to answer questions about your character. When you
are finished it will ask you if you want to be transfered to the newbie
school, note that even if you have played muds before it is recommended
you take a look through the mud school as there are many changes to our
mud that are differant from the many stock muds online. Once this is
done you now have a living breathing character in our World.
Getting Help
Wake may at first may not seem quite like what most people are familiar
with, and we understand this, so we try to make sure there are always
available staff members to assist you in your journey. It is recommend
that you leaf through the help files and game documents in the game, and
possibly find your answer there first. Helpfiles are read by typing in
"help

skillpoints, and levels. And further help information.
If you have further questions, feel free to ask using the QUESTION or
NEWBIE command, leaf through the other help files, or use the boards.
