Q: Why can't I level even though I have enough experience points and gold?
A: You probably need to submit a player history on the forum. At one time, players had to pay to join Atlas however now we only request that you submit a player history. To visit the Forums, please click on the button to the left entitled "Forums."

Q: Every time I attack something, I die. Why?
A: One of the biggest problems for new players, is that they get frustrated from dieing so much. This is usually because they do not type "look monstersname" to see whether they can kill it or not. If you are a lower level (under 5) we would advise staying within reasonable distance from the Town Square.

Q: Why can't I connect to Atlas?
A: Recently there was a worm file that attacked numerous internet users which was transmitted through port 4444. Some internet providers have now banned anything coming from that port. We recommend that you try using port 4445 instead. If you are having a problem connecting via a MUD program, such as Zmud or Gmud, please refer to your user guide. There are also times when we update the server which may cause the world to temporarily close down.
