Channels

Your primary communication channel as a newbie is the newbie channel. There you'll find Newbie Helpers who are ready to answer your questions and help with corpse recoveries when you die.
To use a channel, type its name and your message, eg. newbie Hello!
To toggle a channel on or off, type its name by itself, eg. newbie will toggle the newbie channel on or off.
For a list of all channels available to you, type channels. A lot of new channels become accessible to you as you level - i.e. the gossip channel will be available when you turn level 5.
It is suggested that you keep the newbie channel on, you will find a lot of common questions answered there.
The newbie channel will stay with you until you turn level 201 or reach 300 hours, whichever comes first, at which time you should seek help on other channels like gossip or the question channel.
