Selecting A Name

Type 'c' and hit return. Now begins the first step:

Select a name for your character.
Avoid using your real name or common names, real and mythical. You want not only to give character to your persona, but you also do not want everyone saying "Hey! Aren't you Bob from BlahMUD"? Any name consisting of more than two characters and less than ten (a to z) is acceptable. Try the name you want.

After making up a name, one of two things will happen. Either you will be asked to enter a new name, meaning you have picked a name someone else is using, or it will ask you to create a password, meaning you are a new character. There are many names on the MUD already so if you don't get the one you want don't be frustrated, try another. If the second happens, you are in good shape.
