Trona - Newbie Players
Trona is an imaginary MUD environment based on the LPMud system, that means
to advance in the game you will need a combination of both experience gained
from combat (disposing of various monsters) as well as through questing.
Quests can range from difficult puzzles and riddles, to exploring the
game and performing tasks for others. As a general rule the more difficult to
solve the quest the more experience it is worth.
As you begin play you will notice that you will not know the names of anyone,
and more then likely your 'who' listing will only show you. One of the
features of the game is you have to become aquianted with other players by
introducing yourself and they to you. After having a person intro to you it is
then possible to remember them so when you login the next time they will show
up on your who list and you will see them by name in the game. Names of those
who have introduced themself to you that you do not remember will be lost
when you quit. Keep in mind that just because you introduce yourself to
another person does not require them to intro to you, try not to become
offended by other players not introducing themself.
Before creating a character you should have a general idea as to what type
of character you wish to portray and roleplay. Through the various interactions
and guilds available you can choose a variety of different roles to assume,
from hero, villain, and outsider the possibilities are what you make. Remember
that you are responsible for your actions, if you want to be the bad guy
and loot other players corpses you can however be prepared to be scolded,
attacked or killed (if caught) for doing so. Likewise it would look rather bad
for a paladin who is supposed to be protecting the townspeople to be found
killing them. If your character is supposed to be scholarly or highly educated
you should spend a little time composing and grammar checking before posting
notes on bulletin boards. So consider your role, as your actions will portray
who your character is.
Take your guild membership seriously, especially when it comes to layman
and occupational guilds. This really depends on the guild(s) you enroll in,
as some are more rigid and formal while others may be less organized. Remeber
that you can always exercise your choice to leave a guild if you wish.
DO NOT CHEAT! Read the rules, if you need clarity or have questions
about a rule please ask a wizard or your fellow peers. The penalty for cheating
can be harsh, including deleting all involved parties (and even possibly
alternate characters).
The most important rule is to have fun! It is a game after all.
