		44	Sometimes you hit a bug in the client. To reset the state of your client
		45	you can delete your client database directory (your client will have to
		46	re-download music and images and you will lose your minimap contents).

		89	=head2 Playing Together
		90
		91	=head3 How can I communicate with other players?
		92
		93	There are five commands you can use to talk to others. All of them can
		94	be entered by just typing them in, followed by the message, followed by
		95	C<Return>, e.g. C<chat hey guys, what's up?>. If you have a I<tab> open
		96	in your message window you can also just type a text in there followed
		97	by C<Return> (this is especially handy as C<Return> also activates the
		98	current chat tab as well).
		99
		100	=over 4
		101
		102	=item chat <message> (short: C<c>)
		103
		104	The most-used communications command. Whatever you I<chat> will end up
		105	in the I<Chat> tab of everybody else who is currently logged in.
		106
		107	Example:
		108
		109	c uh, that anchovis almost killed me
		110
		111	=item shout <message>
		112
		113	This is like C<chat>, but "louder". Everybody will get your message in red
		114	in their C<Chat> tabs. You should not use C<shout> unless you are in an
		115	emergency or there is something really important to be said, otherwise you
		116	risk being ignored by people.
		117
		118	Example:
		119
		120	sh I am stuck! can anybody let me out?
		121
		122	=item say <message> (short: C<s>)
		123
		124	This command can be used to talk to NPCs (without going through the NPC
		125	dialogue window), but all players anywhere on the same map can hear you as
		126	well.
		127
		128	Example:
		129
		130	s good that schmorp cnanot hera us here!
		131
		132	=item tell <playername> <message> (short: C<te>)
		133
		134	This is your prototypical two-way, private, chat channel. You can talk to
		135	any other player that is currently logged in, and only he can hear you.
		136
		137	=item gsay <message> (short: C<gs>)
		138
		139	The group say command sends a message to every member of the party/group
		140	you are in. This is useful when playing in a team, to avoid cluttering the
		141	chat channel.
		142
		143	=back
		144
		145	=head3 Can I form parties? Which benefits does party-play have?
		146
		147	You can form I<new> parties using the C<< party form <name> >> name
		148	command, and you can join I<existing> parties using the C<< party join
		149	<name> >> command. There are other party commands, use C<help party> to
		150	find out more.
		151
		152	The main benefit of party-play is sharing experience: All experience you
		153	gain is distributed to all party members accoridng to their level (people
		154	with twice the level as you gain twice as much experience).
		155
		156	This is great for training skills you are bad in, but somebody else is
		157	good in, and of course vice versa!

		227	=head2 Exploring
		228
		229	=head3 What areas are there to explore?
		230
		231	First, you should explore Scorn and find the port pass (and maybe also the
		232	gate pass). Make sure you don't miss out the old city of scorn, many
		233	a dangers, but also many treasures, cna be found there.
		234
		235	When you finished most of the quests in Scorn you should investigate how
		236	the pirates escape from the prison. This will lead to a number of nice
		237	quests in and around Port Joseph.
		238
		239	Another nice series of quests, from low to medium level, can be found in
		240	the King's Palace in Scorn. Who wouldn't want to meet the princess in
		241	person?
		242
		243	The areas you can reach through the various transportation modes in Scorn
		244	are Pupland (which has a lot of puzzles and quests from very low to very
		245	high level), Stoneville and Santo Dominion (low and medium level quests,
		246	also nice shops), and the Aldwulf Archipelago (which is more dangerous).
		247
		248	Through the gate you can reach Euthville and Santo Dominion to the north,
		249	Brest (medium level) and Lake Country (medium to high leve) to the south,
		250	and Navar (medium level quests) in the east (a long travel).
		251
		252	From Navar you can travel to Darcap in the far north (medium level
		253	quests), near the mystical country of Azumauindo, to Wolfsburg somewhere
		254	on the ocean, a rather dangerous area with many thieves and pirates
		255	(medium level quests) and Valleynoy to the south, with medium and high
		256	level quests (did you find the southpole yet?).
		257
		258	Also, it is said that Navar somehow has access to the mystical City
		259	de Clouds, the biggest city ever seen (high level and very high level
		260	quests). There are rumors about lands beyond (St. Bartholemew and other
		261	cities) and other even more mystical places, but little is known about
		262	that.
