+
+There are four commands you can use to talk to others. All of them can
+be entered by just typing them in, followed by the message, followed by
+C<Return>, e.g. C<chat hey guys, what's up?>. If you have a I<tab> open

+=head3 Can I form parties? Which benefits does party-play have?
+
+You can form I<new> parties using the C<< party form <name> >> name
+command, and you can join I<existing> parties using the C<< party join
+<name> >> command. There are other party commands, use C<help party> to
+find out more.
+
+The main benefit of party-play is sharing experience: All experience you
+gain is distributed to all party members accoridng to their level (people
+with twice the level as you gain twice as much experience).
+
+This is great for training skills you are bad in, but somebody else is

+=head2 Exploring
+
+=head3 What areas are there to explore?
+
+First, you should explore Scorn and find the port pass (and maybe also the
+gate pass). Make sure you don't miss out the old city of scorn, many
+a dangers, but also many treasures, cna be found there.
+
+When you finished most of the quests in Scorn you should investigate how
+the pirates escape from the prison. This will lead to a number of nice
+quests in and around Port Joseph.
+
+Another nice series of quests, from low to medium level, can be found in
+the King's Palace in Scorn. Who wouldn't want to meet the princess in
+person?
+
+The areas you can reach through the various transportation modes in Scorn
+are Pupland (which has a lot of puzzles and quests from very low to very
+high level), Stoneville and Santo Dominion (low and medium level quests,
+also nice shops), and the Aldwulf Archipelago (which is more dangerous).
+
+Through the gate you can reach Euthville and Santo Dominion to the north,
+Brest (medium level) and Lake Country (medium to high leve) to the south,
+and Navar (medium level quests) in the east (a long travel).
+
+From Navar you can travel to Darcap in the far north (medium level
+quests), near the mystical country of Azumauindo, to Wolfsburg somewhere
+on the ocean, a rather dangerous area with many thieves and pirates
+(medium level quests) and Valleynoy to the south, with medium and high
+level quests (did you find the southpole yet?).
+
+Also, it is said that Navar somehow has access to the mystical City
+de Clouds, the biggest city ever seen (high level and very high level
+quests). There are rumors about lands beyond (St. Bartholemew and other
+cities) and other even more mystical places, but little is known about
+that.
