Newbie Guide: Character Creation

The most important step in ZombieMUD is your first one. You're curious, eager to play, and faced with so many choices as to how you will begin your life with us... but what choices are good ones for new players? Here are a few tips as to what race+guild combinations will help give you a good start on your path to glory.

* Before you create your character, you must ask yourself...

Choose Ranger
Choose Necromancer
Choose Mage
Do you fancy being a burly Fighter type?
Choose Ranger.
(Alternate: Monks)
Do you wish to be a puppetmaster of sorts and control a horde?
Choose Necromancer.
(Alternate: Abjurers)
Do you love the idea of manipulating raw Magic?
Choose Mage.
(Alternate: Druids)

Of course, these are not the only choices available to you, but beginning at level 1, these six will give you enough power to fight your way into the ranks of more difficult to master guilds. If you choose not to follow this advice, please take note that some guilds are absolutely not made for newbies, and you do so at your own risk.

As an added incentive, if you begin the game in a working combination, and have never reincarnated yourself, you are given a bonus to the spells and skills of your guild. Choose wisely the first time!

If you have already chosen a race and guild, but have found them to be unsuitable for lower levels and wish to start over with one of the reccomended paths, have no fear... This is what Reincarnation is for! Reincarnation means that you can start your character anew, without losing all of your hard earned EXP.

In order to be reincarnated just seek out a Cleric or Necromancer who has the spell, and ask them kindly to cast it on you. They gain some EXP for this, so most people are happy to perform this service for you. You must be dead to be reincarnated, so do not worry when this is asked of you. Accept the reincarnation and then choose a new path towards a happier Zombie life.
