'''The Basics'''
+
If you need to validate your account:
  
−
"You've entered a new world, living in the late dark ages of medieval Europe. You must make your way through life, perhaps climbing to the top to one day enforce your will upon the world. Create new friends and become a wealthy diplomat. Or, you may take to the shadows and enforce your will another way...espionage and betrayal, manipulation and deception.

However, you've only just arrived in this world. How do you achieve anything, and what do you need to get there...?"

# Follow email instructions in order to validate your account.

'''What do I do?'''
+
== I would like to change my name, what can I do?==
  
−
"You're in a new world, do what-ever you want to do!
+
Check [[Services|Paid Services]] page.
−
Our suggestion is that you create a role for your character and play it accordingly, this will make the game more fun and give you an idea of how to play the game and what profession to go for. eg: A holy monk of the church who opens a bakery to provide food for the children of god."
+
  
−
'''There is no King in my kingdom, how do I become one?'''
+
== I distributed wrongly my attributes, what can I do? ==
  
−
"That's a good question, it's important that the kingdoms become active as soon as possible. Unfortunately, to avoid abuse, and to some extent a role-play feature, it costs to be crowned king. 1500 coins to be precise. If you can gather that kind of money, and there is a vacant position, go for it!"
+
You can use the function that you find in the Character Dashboard if your character is '''younger than 30 days'''. If you already used the feature and made another mistake, check [[Services|Paid Services]] page.
  
−
'''I have a bunch of money to start with. What should I do wiht it?'''
+
== There is no King in my kingdom, how do I become one?==
  
−
"You begin the first day with just under 400 silver. It is a good idea to get a few basics in place. We suggest that you consider a hut to sleep in, a field to grow crops and a hoe and/or pickaxe for farming and mining. If your city has a forest instead of mines, a hatchet. This will give you the basic tools you will need to scratch out a living."
+
"That's a good question, it's important that the kingdoms become active as soon as possible. To become a king you will need to have a certain age, charisma and some coins (See [[En_US_royalpalace]] for details.) If you can gather that kind of money, and there is a vacant position, go for it!"
  
−
'''I bought a field, and a seed, how do I plant it?'''
+
== I have just started. What shall I do?==
  
−
"Well, like in real life, you're going to need some tools - A hoe is required to sow your field. To use the hoe, point over it and choose the '''Wear''' feature."

"You will have a few coins. Complete the tutorial to get more coins, items, and free bonuses."
  
−
'''Okay, where can I get a hoe . . . ?'''
+
== I bought a field, and a seed, how do I plant it?==
  
−
" You should look at the Marketplace in your city. Because it's still early on in the game, there may be very few who produce these items in your city, so tools may be rare to an extent and expensive too, depending on who you ask. Your local blacksmith should be able to sell you one, and if not, then you should ask on the International Market thread in the forum.
+
"Well, like in real life, you're going to need some tools - A hoe and a fertilizer are required to sow your field. To use the hoe, point over it and choose the ==Wear== feature. Seeds and fertilizer must be put in the Terrain storage."
−
You may even want to consider becoming a blacksmith yourself to take advantage of any shortages and an ever-increasing demand. "

'''There is no bread on the market, my character is going to die!'''
+
== Okay, where can I get a hoe?==
  
−
"Medieval Europe has taken into consideration this possibility, and has put in place a system that allows users to obtain bread and little coin. This can be achieved by working in the prisons or the church. You will receive 1 bread and 5 coins per session.

 +
 
 +
== I encountered a bug or need to contact the game admins for some other reason. How can I do that?==
 +
 
 +
Open a support ticket. You will need a valid email address to see their reply.
 +
 
 +
==How can I communicate with the other players?==
 +
 
 +
Most of the time you will simply send messages to one other player. The game also has a global chat, a kingdom chat, the government announcements, discord, the groups which offer chatroom and mass mail for all members.  And then there is this wiki. Some players/ kingdoms use external communication such as skype, IRC, discord chat, ...
 +
 
 +
==I want to work in a mine to get some resources, but it says it may be depleted. What should I do?==
 +
 
 +
The mine is temporarily depleted and will not give much output or none at all. If you tried to do this queued 2 or 3 times, maybe it will be enough to just do it 1 or 2 times, but you should probably wait for a day or two so the mine will refill and then try again.
 +
You can also look at how many other people are working in the mine at this moment, so you see how tough the competition for its resources is right now: You can check the character list in the region or ask the tower guard if one exists there.
 +
 
 +
==What is the fast travel network?==
 +
 
 +
A feature you can use when you have the travel bonus package. It allows you to not only travel from one region to the next but to travel from one network node to the next, so you don't need to log in so often. You can make the network visible on the travel page with its button above the map.
 +
 
 +
==What does the travel bonus do?==
 +
 
 +
It allows you to travel 50% faster on land or for free on the sea.
 +
 
 +
==I am carrying so much stuff that I am overloaded. Now I need to spend a lot of money to travel by sea and much glut and energy to travel by land. Is there a way to help me avoid this?==
 +
 
 +
You can buy a cart from a market or make one in a carpenter shop. A small cart will give you a +300kg carrying capacity. You can also buy the professional cart with doubloons that will be even better. Or you can buy a travel package with doubloons which allow you to travel by sea for free, even if you are overloaded. It will not help you with land travel in this matter much though.
 +
 
 +
==I am low on glut and / or energy and I am in a region without a market or prison to get food / a tavern to sleep. How can I leave this region? Will, I die now?==
 +
 
 +
You can buy a hut from the castle or village to sleep in. You can vote every day for energy, so even if you don't find a place to sleep, you can get enough energy to continue traveling.
 +
You should always have some food with you to avoid this situation. Send a message to your king/ queen or someone nearby, so they can send you some food. This will probably take a while, it depends on how far away you are from the sender.
 +
 
 +
==Most characters look alike, how can I make mine look differently?==
 +
 
 +
You can change what your character wears.
 +
You can dye your clothes using the option in your inventory. You need to have a dye pot in your inventory as well and will get to choose from a variety of colors.
 +
 
 +
And you can buy the atelier license for 150 doubloons. It will add a "configure appearance"-link to your inventory page, which brings you to a screen where you can upload images to replace each standard image for clothing, physical features like hair and face or arms and armor. Additional costs in doubloons will have to be paid for the admin's approval of your images or to buy images from the administrators themselves.
