This is a typical log from a total newbie at LegendMUD:
(HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>hello
You wave hello to the world!
[Chat] Groth: *bounce* hi hi!
(HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>what do I do here?
Huh?
(HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>hello groth
You don't see Groth here.
A cat stretches.
A cat goes off in search of a nice plump mouse.
(HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>How do I talk?
'Do I talk?' you howl.
(HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>quit
Use QUIT Y if you really want to quit.
If you quit you will lose all your equipment.
(HP:95% MA:99% MV:100%)>quit y
Totalnewbie has left the game.
