| Welcome || Quickstart || _ ___ _o |
| Announcements || || | | |...| |.| |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ || If you have played Nightfall or other MUDs before and/or just want to know the || | | |.o.| |.| |
| Web Client || most concise information relevant to get in as quickly as possible, this page is || '-' '---' '-' |
| Clients || for you. || \|
| Quickstart || || |
| Wait, What? || About MUDs || |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ || || |
| Races || If you have never seen a MUD before, a very rough first approximation would be || |
| Guilds || to think of a text-based MMORPG, such as World of Warcraft. Rather than fancy || |
| Map || graphics, MUDs use plain text to describe what is happening, rather than you || |
| Lore || clicking around with a mouse and pressing a few buttons to walk and fight, you || |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ || enter commands such as "west" (or "w") to go west and "kill orc" to attack the || |
| Who's online? || orc (and rather than annoying teenagers, we have annoying everyones!). || o|
| Finger || || |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ || Connection Information || |/
| The Guide || || |/
| Player Help || Nightfall runs on port 4242 at nightfall.org. To connect, use a MUD client or || |o
| The Sky || the web client available here. To disconnect, use "petrify" or close your client || |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ || to preserve your location and inventory, unless the MUD reboots. In this case, || |
| Imprint || you will receive a small monetary compensation. || |
| || || |
| || First Steps || |
| || || |
| || You can either create an account, log in with an old account of yours or log in || o|
| || as a guest. If you go south in the first room, you should recall that you can || |
| || skip the history introduction at any point using "skip". You will then end up in || o|
| || the town hall of Nightfall City (NFC). You can explore this town hall a little || o|
| || bit and then have a look at Nightfall City. It might be wise to first look at || |
| || the Newbie Park in the southwest to gain a little bit of experience, which will || |
| || allow you to advance your level and improve your stats. || |
| || || |/
| || Communication || |
| || || |
| || To talk on the public channels, use "= <text>". To talk privately with others, || |
| || use "tell <name> <text>", to talk with people in the same room, "say || |
| || <text>". Feel free to ask for help at any time. || o|
| || || |
