F.A.Q.
------

HELP

Q: How to get help?

A: The fastest way is to come on our IRC channel. There you can find a lot of
   nice people that will help you until you solve your problem. Server:
   irc.freenode.net Channel: #themanaworld.
   If you don't like IRC just come to our forums:
   http://forums.themanaworld.org. Ok, do you think forums are evil? Don't
   worry, send me an e-mail at elvenprogrammer@gmail.com and you're done.
   That's not enough? No, I won't give you my phone number! ;P

GAME

Q: I always get "Unregistered ID" error message, why?

A: First of all check that your username is at least 4 characters long. Is the
   first time you login? Have you registered an account? If not use the
   "Register" button in game. If you already succesfully connected before, but
   now you're getting this message, please send an e-mail to
   elvenprogrammer@gmail.com.


Q: I always get "Wrong password" but I'm sure I typed it right, why?

A: If is the first time you login be sure you're not adding _M at the end of
   your username. Else please send an e-mail to elvenprogrammer@gmail.com.

Q: How can I talk to NPCs?

A: Did you read README? Are you really sure? If not go read it and you'll find
   all the known commands. Or just press F1 in game. If you notice the
   README/ingame help is not up to date/wrong, please report it to the
   developers.

Q: I just typed /<command> in the chat window and then I saw "Your account has
   been banished until ..." and TMW closed. Now when I try to log in nothing
   happens?

A: That's because /<commands> are not implemented at the moment of writing.
   Please avoid using such commands (i.e. /help) until they're added.
   Anyway the ban is temp, just wait some minutes and you should be able to
   connect again.

Q: I can't recover HP anymore.

A: Check your inventory, if you've got lots of stuff probably you're
   overweight, try to give away some of them. You get overweight when you're
   carrying 50% of your maximum weight.


SVN

Q: What's SVN?

A: It's a system where is stored the latest development version. It's not
   assured that it's stable, but surely it has the latest updates. (SVN version
   is updated quite frequently). If you want to check it out, read this guide
   http://themanaworld.org/svn-tutorial.txt


DEVELOPMENT

Q: When will the next version be released?

A: We have scheduled releases. Usually a new release is available every month.
   Check http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Roadmap for further infos.


Q: How can I contribute?

A: There are a lot of ways:

   - If you're a programmer, an artist or just willing to help in any way, you
     can become part of the development team. Send an e-mail to
     elvenprogrammer@gmail.com explaining what you want to do, or join our irc
     channel: #themanaworld @ irc.freenode.net.

   - You can donate money. Follow the link on the project page:

   - You can be a beta tester. Just play with The Mana World and report every
