Most people generally find a client they find easy to use that has a range of functional capabilities as well (Aliases/Macros/Triggers/Logging). I would recommend MUSHclient to start out with. It is simple to start with originally, and also has more advanced features (and programmability) that can be utilized in time.');

Think like your character would think, act like your character would act, and in general behave as though you were your character instead of you. Roleplay will be much more rewarding and enjoyable if you think up something different rather than just reflecting your own personality through your character. Forsaken Lands is a "Roleplay Enforced" game. That means that at all times you need to maintain roleplay to a modicum degree. You are required to stay "In Character" at all times within the game unless you are told otherwise by an Immortal. However much you want to roleplay beyond that is up to you. My advice would be to involve yourself in your character: your experience will be more fun that way.');

While FL is not designed to be a "hack-and-slash" MUD, it is meant to be a dangerous world where you need to remain vigilant to survive.

The first thing you will want to do after that is add as many points to Constitution (CON) as you can. The CON stat will determine how many Health Points (HP) you gain when you raise a level. After that, you should try to get 18 in INT and WIS respectively, as these will determine how much mana you gain each level. I would then split the remaining points between STR and DEX. These two stats are important, but they don\'t directly influence gain, and you can max them later.');

Once you have advanced to a degree within the clan, you will be given the opportunity to apply to the cabal.
