The [http://www.lusternia.com Lusternia] Nexus client is often the first way that a new character is introduced to the world of Lusternia. It does require Java which can be downloaded at the [http://www.java.com Java homepage]. Some people, however, prefer to use an alternative client such as [http://www.mudlet.org/ Mudlet], [http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/mushclient.htm MUSHclient], [http://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/zmudinfo.htm zMUD], or [http://www.zuggsoft.com/index.php?p=cmud CMUD].

The journey through the Portal of Fate usually takes about half an hour, but for those not accustomed to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD MUDs] it can be rather confusing. You have the option of skipping through the journey using the command END JOURNEY, but for newcomers it is not reccomended. During this journey you will choose your adventurer's gender, age, race, and optionally a home city or commune and guild. Information can be found on each of the guilds, cities and communes can be found in-game in the help files, or here: [[Playerorgs]] | The journey through the Portal of Fate usually takes about half an hour, but for those not accustomed to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD MUDs] it can be rather confusing.

Fresh out of the Portal of Fate, the world of Lusternia can be very confusing for those new to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD MUDs]. Thankfully, a number of people can help you through your initial introduction to the Basin. | Fresh out of the Portal of Fate, the world of Lusternia can be very confusing for those new to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUD MUDs].

Likely when you first created your character, someone welcomed you via the Collegium Channel (CGT). A number of "scrolls" (as they're referred to in-game) can be found in each college that will help you complete your tasks. These, as all help files, can be accessed with the command HELP <topic>. | Likely when you first created your character, someone welcomed you via the Collegium Channel (CGT).

To search through general help files, you can always try HELP <keyword> which will bring up any help file in which the key word is. There are also sets of help files for your City (CHELP), your Guild, (GHELP), the College (CGHELP), and, if your guild has a clan, there may also be CLHELP, but see HELP CLAN COMMANDS. | To search through general help files, you can always try HELP <keyword> which will bring up any help file in which the key word is.

== Roleplaying == | |||
Roleplaying is one of the focal points of Lusternia, and because of this keeping things in-character is crucial. If you are out of character, likely people will tell you to stop speaking insanely - once you step into the shoes of your character, the computer, the 21st Century, none of that exists.
