Help: Welcome
Welcome to Mystavaria!
Mystavaria is a realm born from the collision of dreams and reality, where
the tapestry of life transcends the boundaries of the conscious mind. Explore
a world of fantasy, encountering mythical creatures and uncovering long
abandoned secrets as you wander between whimsical landscapes and villages born
of nightmares. Awaken your imagination with skills that allow you to weave
your own dreamscape, ground yourself in reality and hone the art of skills
such as blademastery, or unleash the depths of your creativity with an array
of crafting and gathering skills. Mystavaria is a realm of infinite possibility;
surrender yourself to the surreal and make your dreams reality!
Getting Started
If you are new to Mystavaria, or new to the MUD genre entirely, you might
find things a little confusing. All new players (or "dreamers") are born in
a place called Arborvella. You will quickly meet a guide who will teach
you about the basic commands, including how to move around, how to interact
with objects, and how to communicate with others. This is part of a tutorial
and it will require you to complete certain tasks before you experience the
world in full.
Hints and tips will be given along the way, though you are welcome to take
the introduction at your own pace and leisurely explore as you learn. To
learn more about the tutorial or see some additional commands and options
available to you during it, read HELP TUTORIAL.
You can also type WELCOME at any point for a reminder of some useful
commands and information.
The Help System
If at any point you find yourself totally lost or stuck, the best place to
start looking for answers is using our index of HELP files. These files
have been written to aide new players and old alike, and will always be
available to you. Oftentimes you can simply type HELP <command> and
information may be available. If that doesn't work, you can type HELP
on its own to bring up a list of topics, which you can then click on or use
HELP <topic> and HELP <sub-topic> to see more specific details.
If you still can't find an answer, you can ask on the public channel using
PUB <question>.
How to Save Progress and Quit
Mystavaria is real time and your progress is saved automatically. If you
need to return to the real world, simply type QUIT to logout. For the
safety of your character, players who have been idle for more than 30 minutes
will be automatically logged out.
We hope the above information helps you on how and where to start your
adventures in Mystavaria!
