Carry's Tutorial

Alright, then. Now I don't know if you remember any of this or not, but I can at least attempt to jog your memory. Do you know where we are? This is Ithnium. It's a huge, wealthy city, directly in the middle of a large continient that - in the human tongue - is known as Rokane. This is the capital city of Rokane, and also home to King Tristanthimum III, and the royal family. If you are a curiors about the world of rokane...

SEE A MAP OF ROKANE HERE.

Rokane is inhabited by a series of races, including humans, elves, dwarves, nymphs, goblins, orcs, trolls, ogres, and more. Thanks to one of Rokane's earliest explorers, the famous Harold Scott, who kept a journal of every species he ever encountered throughout his journeys.

Alright, now I'm not sure entirely what you do and don't remember how to do, so let's just go over some basics.

The HOMEPAGE probably looks something like thisL

 
On the homepage, you can find me, welcoming new rangers as they enter through the gates of Ithnium, and you can find recent additions to the "Rokane" section of the site. But see up at the top, all of thos tabs? Those are your keys to th kigdom, quite literally.

Take a look at the first tab after home, the "Rokane" tab. Click that. You should now find yourself in a page that resembles a forum. Now, lots of stuff happens under this tab, which is why it is called what it is. First of all, you should see something like this:



You see all those "boards" listed?  These contain some very vital elements to the game, and you should check them - particularly the "story" and "quests" boards - frequently. Now the story board contains "chapters" of the eventual campaign feature of RoR. Once a month, one Chapter will be added, and you can get 1 more bit through the eventual campaign of the story! Every chapter will ask you to do something, just as the prologue sent you to this thread!



Now, look at the board called "quests." This is where the real magic happens in RoR. Come in here, click just about any thread you want. Each one will involve a character, or "NPC" (non-player character) giving you a mission. If you complete this mission, then you will gain XP tokens. Look up at the top of the page, on the banner...see that little coin icon? That shows how many XP tokens you have. Every time you reach 100 tokens, you level up! XP Tokens are also usable as currency to buy certain things.



Now, quests aren't always all fun and games. Your character could get infected with a disease or poison while on a quest. Possibly, be injured, or even LOSE XP tokens! Not all quests are applicable for your character they may require you to be a certain level, OR a certain class. To find out more about classes. You won't have to worry about classes until you read Chapter 1.

The next board you'll see is the "involvement" board. This is the only place where YOU can post. It is for conversational feature of the game, like trading, brotherhoods, and things like that. Most things in this board are very self-explanitory.

The final board you'll see is "The World of Rokane." Think of this as one big, fat, reference book, with everything you ever need to know about Rokane. If you're looking for some sort of info on Rokane, just head in there, and find the thread for it.

Moving onto the third tab, "Account." This one has got a small drop-down menu. This tab allows you to update your status, add a profile picture, edit info about yourself, and more.



Let's move over to the "rangers" tab. This is where you can look at other people's accounts, add allies (or "friends"), and scroll through profiles.

Next tab. Hmm, that's weird...the "Pigeon Port?" A fairly odd name for a private messaging system. I hope you remember that me and you, we live in a time way before private messaging. In fact, I don't even know the meaning of the word. There are only two ways of communicating here. Talking, or writing notes, to be dilevered by a pigeon. At your pigeon port, all of your friends' pigeons come to give you letters from all over Rokane!




Events is where you can look at upcoming events on the site.

Finnally, we have the last tab: Ithnium Plaza. This is a public chatbox for anyone who's a member.

I hope that I was able to help your amnesia, at least a bit. Now, if you're ready, Bren has agreed to let you live in his home. Good luck, young ranger. And farewell!
