Typing "home" will take you back to the Temple of Midgaard until level 10.
From levels 1 to 9, typing "home" will take you back to the Temple of Midgaard. Market Square ("MS") is 2 south from the Temple.

You will LOSE all of your equipment if you cannot afford your rent!
If you cannot afford your rent, you will lose all of your items and equipment. Go to the receptionist (north, east, up from Market Square) and type "offer" to find out how much your rent is. Please note that you'll never be charged more that a day's rent at a time, you'll only owe 1 day's rent even if you don't log in for a few weeks. If you cannot afford the "offer" amount, other players may help you with the cash if you ask politely over the "gossip" channel. See HELP RENT and HELP GOSSIP.

Buy recall scrolls and keep them on you at all times!
This is very important, be sure to carry recall scrolls with you at all times. Typing "home" will only work until you reach level 10. After that, recall scrolls are essential to get yourself back into town. Recall scrolls can even be used mid-fight and may be purchased for 2099 gold coins at The Magic Shop in Midgaard (2 west, north of Market Square). Don't leave home without one!

Wear +Constitution gear to get maximum hit point gains when you raise a level.
You can't see your physical stats until you reach level 6, but ideally you'll want your Constitution at as close to 18 as possible when you raise a level to get larger hit point (hp) gains.

Use your "wimpy" to automatically flee when you're hurt
Setting your wimpy allows you to automatically attempt to flee when you go below a specified number of hitpoints. For example, typing "wimpy 50" will cause you to make a flee attempt when you go below 50 hitpoints. Typing "wimpy" by itself will toggle between 25% of your total hitpoints & off.
