Your first ten minutes
You do not need to learn everything before you enter. This short route gives you a body, a name and a reason to start exploring.
Seven steps
questions first? →Verify your account
Create an account and follow the verification link sent to your email address. Once verified, you can sign in and enter the world.
Find your body
You arrive as a ghost — present, invisible, and unable to touch anything. Find the body changer to choose a body and a head, then experiment with colours until the character feels like yours.
Claim your name
Everyone starts under a minted name like avatar41. Sign the register to claim the name other residents will see. Choose something you will be happy to answer to.
Learn your hand and pocket
Pick up an object to hold it. From your hand you can use, give, wear, store or place it, depending on what kind of object it is.
Walk the world
Use the exits between rooms, visit the shops and notice what changes when other people arrive. There is no correct route.
Check your tokens
Your account begins with a welcome grant of a thousand tokens, and earns a hundred more for every whole hour you spend in the world. Use a cash machine to manage your balance, and the shops to see what it buys.
Say hello
Talk in the room, use a mood or a gesture, or add somebody to your friends list. The world becomes easier to understand as soon as another resident shows you something.
A few useful terms
Six words the world uses that a new arrival will not have met before.
More on each: avatars and names, turfs and rent, tokens and objects.
