Thank you for purchasing and installing RAGNAROK! We, the developers, hope you'll enjoy your experience with the game as much as we enjoyed creating it. In fact, we hope you enjoy it more, because the coding was incredibly boring at times. Before you get started on the game proper, a little tutorial may not go amiss.<br/><br/>Before we go into character creation, let's go over the basic controls. At all times, you'll find yourself in a small area we'll call a "space". To travel between these spaces, you can TRAVEL, GO, WALK, or HEAD in any direction. You can also use TRAVEL TO in order to fast travel to certain major locations. You might want to keep a notebook handy to note down all the major, useful places you encounter. In most spaces, there will be items or characters for you to interact with. There may be items laying around that you can EXAMINE or CHECK (these two are the same as far as gameplay goes) or maybe even TAKE or PICK UP. There might be documents to READ, or machinery to ASSEMBLE or BUILD, all depending. You can TALK TO characters (As long as the name you use to define which character(s) is unique, you may use first, last, or nickname at will) or ENGAGE them. Later in the game you may also get skills like BRIBE, INTIMIDATE, etc. In fact, there's almost no end to the commands you can type in, just make sure they're spelled correctly. Also, the game will not understand long or complex commands, so keep it simple, yeah?<br/><br/>Over the course of the game, you will develop skills. Which skills you attain will depend on your CLASS. Before you begin your game, CHOOSE a CLASS, SEX, and "NAME". You may choose all in the same command or take it bit by bit.<br/><br/>WARRIOR: Straightforward fighters. Will usually have strength-based abilities.<br/>THIEF: Stealth and cunning-based. You have to be clever if you pick THIEF.<br/>RANGER: Ranged combat and speed. Suave types, charismatic. Good if you wanna explore as many interactions with people as possible.<br/>SKALD: Swashbuckler type. Similar to Ranger in out-of-combat abilities, but focuses on hand-to-hand combat.<br/><br/>That's it! All classes will have access to magic later in the game, so don't worry about the lack of a wizard!
