New Player Tips

New to the game? New players join everyday. Here's how to get started! You'll be sent to Welcome Isle to start. Talk to Willy in the cabin, and he'll have you dig around the big rock on the north tip of the island. Walk over there by using the arrow keys. Once you get the money that is under the rock ($1,000), go to the dock on the west side of the island and head to Earton on Horse Isle. Your character will look like a baby. To get yourself dressed, click the PROFILE button in the middle of the right side of the screen. Scroll through the character choices, pick one, and click SAVE PROFILE. For $$money$$, try playing games such as Wack the Moles!, Fly N' Frog, Construction Job (in Easy, Medium, or Hard), and Horse Word Guess. You can also do quests by talking to people in cabins and stores. One easy quest in Earton is to dig south of the fountain. To catch a wild horse, walk around anywhere away from a town. If you are on a horse (a horse is where you're standing, that is), it will appear in the upper right hand corner with a symbol of a horse and say Breed, Wild Horse (it'll say a breed name instead of Breed). Click CATCH HORSE! You get 60 seconds to lasso the horse with your mouse. Aim for the neck/head. If you catch it, it'll show up in your horse inventory. Click HORSES, which is near the profile button to see your horses (up to 5). You can also buy horses at the auction, from players, pay with real money for a pawneer order, or whisper a horse. To talk to other players (PM), go to the small box in the bottom left hand corner that currently says CHAT ALL. This means you're talking to everyone on that server; it's also called global. If you click the arrow, it will show other chat options. These are:

• ADS CHAT (for selling/buying),
• CHAT NEAR (self-explanatory),
• CHAT BUDDIES (I'll tell you how to pick buddies later),
• CHAT HERE (that's right where you're standing),
• CHAT ISLAND (with the whole isle/island you're on),
• and then you can Private Message (hence PM) people by clicking their name.

You should also visit the bank. If you forget where it is, many players stand outside of it in Earton! It's tan with a $ symbol on it. Go inside and store your money to earn interest and leave it for a while. It earns slowly then more quickly as you get more money. That's all you need to know really when you're starting out. So go explore! See the isles, make friends, etc!
