Well, I mainly posted it in here because it's not new really, it's over nine years old in fact. But dark can certainly move it if he wishes. It's a great place.

We have seen many come to visit, and thats just awesome! We've taken people on tours, and showed them just the merest hint of whats available. Different people like different things, and that is never a problem. I'm sure many will share their varied experiences as they travel in different directions and learn what there is to see.

Many of the things stirlock talks about have been checked out and played with. Even took one up to space and had a look at parts of things.

Glad to see so many visiting and enjoying!

Ok, I'm trying this now, and I'm totally confused. I just don't know how to get started. I went into the newbie area, did a couple of simple training things, then got stuck in a room that just said you see nothing special. So, I bypassed it. Found an academy where I learned one lesson and then ran out of money, so not sure how to earn more. Found out where the quest room is, read about the first quest, but I'm really lost. Can someone give me some tips on how to really get started?

Well, I'm officially stuck between two rooms in the first quest and can't go anywhere. I'm in some pool and it says something beckons deeper. I've tried everything I can think of, but can't do anything but go back and forth between these two rooms. I thought this game seemed really interesting, but there's just not enough to go on. I've wandered aimlessly, can't find any cash, and I'm not sure what the goal is. But I'm now stuck in this quest with no way to get out. The home command doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Ok, so I'm starting to get some help in this game, and although I still don't really quite know what I'm doing, or what to do next, it's intriguing, which is keeping me playing. I'm enjoying it, it's unique. It's nice to be able to explore in a game without real risk, not having to worry about something aggressive attacking you.

Flux world is a moo, a kind of mud. So you'll need a mud client such as mushclient or vipmud to play it.

I heard that some of you were having trouble with money, so I'll just say that quests are a good source. Keep in mind that you don't always get notifyed that you get money. Make sure to check with either money or cash, both do the same thing. Also, most rewards are given in gold, which needs to be exchanged for fluxbucks at the bank. Syntax is exchange amount currency for currency. EG, exchange 500 gold for fluxbucks. Hope that helps.

First of all, thanks to all that have posted here, and to those that are fast becoming regulars!
I know it seems confusing at first, and there are many unique commands. This is why there is extensive help, and why we try to be available to answer questions that may come up.
To make a list of all there is to do, would go on and on. This is something that you will continue to learn as you explore and dig deeper.
As stirlock said to me early on, its like the layers of an onion, and this could not be more true, as I have used the same analogy myself when mentoring others. As was said in The Matrix: Lets see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

  Explore, enjoy, feel free to ask questions.

Due to player requests, and some study, crafting has been implemented for weapons, armor and clothing. Depending on skill, you can make things slightly better than the system generated defaults, but the real creativeness lies in the descriptions, especially for clothing. The other advantage is selling such things for money, rather than just creating them for yourself.
As far as detail and gathering of materials, this is done already for metals and cloth, in other ways, and not directly a requirement of crafting just to obtain materials.  There are interesting choices, of course. Do you make armor from a titanium alloy, kevlar, nano-poly, carbon fiber, leather, or one of the other available metals (like brass, copper, iron, etc)
Clothing can be made from cotton, wool, denim, leather, flannel, polyester blend, nylon, rayon, etc. Any material can be made, we just need a request for it, and the time it takes to produce it.
On another note, I have been asked many times, so what do I do next here? it seems some are confused by the fact that there is no set theme other than this is a futuristic space based world. The answer, of course, is there are many things to do, and that depends on what you like. There are many interesting things to do, but they all rely on a person exploring and finding the objects to interact with. I cant exactly say go to x and do y, as this would ruin the surprises that are Flux. As those who have taken the time to dig have found out, the deeper you dig, the more you realize how deep some things go into detail. The whole food processing, animal raising, and timber are a part of that. So is the fact that mining is only one step of many to produce exotic materials that are used elsewhere. But that is enough hints for now.

looking at this and reaing it, I feel this was proper area to post it because while its not new it is new to those who have never heard it such as myself and many others.  its abit, mind bogling and some nerve racking, to post specific things in specific rooms all the time or constently.   either, way, right or wrong room, thanks for the info on that for it was infact new to me.

I've just started playing and so far it's very interesting. I had one question though, I seem to get stuck in a crypt in the caves. Once I get in there I can't get out other than using the home command. Am I missing something or did something go wrong somewhere?
