'MAIL'

The 'MAIL' command is used to send letters to other players (online or offline). The command only works when inside post office at the postman. To erase a letter which you have received, you must 'eat' the letter. To get your mail from the post man you must request your mail.

'MAIDEN NAME'

Here you should enter a piece of information which is personal, very easy to remember and known just by you and your closets relatives, for example your mother's maiden name. We will require this information if you need us to change your password or otherwise modify your player per request. If we do not have this information we can not help you if you forget your player's password!!

'MULTI PLAYING' 'MULTIPLAYER' 'MULTIPLAYING' 'MULTI PLAYER' 'MULTIPLE CHARACTERS'

Multiplaying is allowed only to a max of two characters, this means you may have a max of 2 characters run by the same human player on line at any given time. You may own more then two characters but they can only play 2 at any given time. Also a human player must be in full command of each character that is on line. Scripts, bots or other non-human controlled characters are expressly forbidden.

'MALE'

You can choose to be either a male player or a female player. For most races males are somewhat taller than females whereas the females tend to have a longer lifespan. Your choice does not necessarily have to reflect your real gender, but most of the players play their own gender since they find it difficult to impersonate the opposite gender.

'MAGICIANS'

The elite of magic with the cunning to match. This class gives your character good possibilities for learning magic spells. Some of these spells can defend you from the hostile world surrounding you.

'MIDGAARD PALADINS'

Paladins are church nights, they dabble in the divine sphere of the 'magics' and have a fairly good grasp of weapons and fighting skills. Paladins must be of good alignment in order to remain a good member in standing of thier church.

'MIDGAARD SORCERER'

These group of magic users bases its spells. They spend thier whole life dedicated to learning how to control the magic of the world around them.

'MAGIC USERS'

There are two main attributes for spell casters:

Power (DIV or MAG) Power determines how powerful a spell is when it hits the opponent. The better the power the better the effect of the spell. This can be compared with a warrior's strength.

Brain (BRA) When the spell caster casts a spell he will experience a 'battle of the mind' which determines if he can hit the opponent. brain determines how smart the spell caster is. The smarter the spell caster the less likely he is to be hit, and the more likely he is to hit the opponent when he casts a spell. Brain can be compared with a warrior's dexterity.

Spell Skill It is his knowledge about his spells (his weapon and means of survival) and his enemy's spells. The skill is used together with BRA to determine if he can hit or defend himself properly. At the same time the skill also offers resistance against magic of the same type. For example a very proficient fire using spell caster is partially immune to small fire attacks.

Regaining mana points The magic user regains his mana points through his charisma. When the charisma matches the magic power (see above) the gain occurs at a steady rate. When charisma is above the power gaining is even faster and when below the gain rate slows down.

'ME'

Welcome to Valhalla. We hope you'll enjoy playing this game. You are now playing a character in the game. You control this character by typing in commands and pressing telling the game to execute the command. If text is written on the screen while you are writing the command, just continue with whatever you were typing, what you have written will NOT be lost.

• look and also 'look at (item)' and 'look in (item)'
  
• say followed by the sentence you wish to say
  
• exits will reveal all obvious exits from the room you are in
  
• north will move you to the north if you can go there
  
• south will move you to th south if you can go there
  
• east will move you to th east if you can go there
  
• west will move you to th west if you can go there
  
• up will move you up if you can go there
  
• down will move you down if you can go there
  
• inventory lists the items you carry
  
• equipment lists the items you are using
  
• get (item) to pick up an item
  
• score gives you your current score.
  

All commands can be abbreviated. Thus the command 'look' can be abbreviated to just 'l'. Names of things and items can NOT be abbreviated, you must write their full name to refer to them. Be careful! Learn which abbreviations trigger which commands. For instance, 's' is an abbreviation for 'south' not 'say', here you must use the abbreviation 'sa' for 'say'.

If you haven't saved your character yet, you are here as a guest and your character is forgotten as soon as you quit. If you decide to begin playingseriously, use the save command to keep your character.

If you need further help, try to use the help command differently, by putting a word behind it, such as 'help commands' which will show you a sample of commands. 'help' followed by a command often reveals the full use of a command. Try this on 'look'.

To say something type 'say' and a space, and then the sentence you wish to say. For example 'say hello world!' (don't type the '').

To quit playing, type 'quit'.
