+> eAthena - What we currently do not have
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+- Wedding System (In Progress!)
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+System Requirements
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+> Minimum System Requirements
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+800Mhz Processor
+256MB RAM
+
+NOTE: For this setup, it's recommended to not load as many maps
+and spawn as many monsters as it comes default with eAthena.
+To do this, comment off unused maps and control monster spawn
+rate using mob_count in battle_athena.conf.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+> Recommended System Requirements
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+1+Ghz Processor
+512+MB RAM
+
+NOTE: For this setup, generally, running the eAthena default
+should be fine. If you have alot of extra RAM, you might even
+consider raising the mob_count in battle_athena.conf so that
+there will be more than normal monsters in your server
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+Setting up eAthena
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+> Setting up a new eAthena
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+1. Run the setupwizard program. This will assist you in
+ configuring Athena for the first time. Just follow the
+ instructions in the program.
+2. Edit motd.txt, grf-files.txt & .conf files as neccessary
+3. If you want to add a user, go to tools and use the AddUser
+ tool
+4. Run the login-server, char-server and map-server in the
+ main Athena directory
+5. You're done!
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+> Upgrading from older eAthena:
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+- From a release newer than 953 or 817:
+1. Transfer your old /save/ folder contents (Athena.txt,
+ Account.txt, Storage.txt, etc.) to the new /safe/ folder
+2. Transfer/Edit grf-files.txt, gm-account.txt and motd.txt as
+ neccessary
+3. Transfer any extra custom NPCs to the /npc/ folder and
+ edit if neccessary
+4. Edit .conf files to setup your server
+5. You're done!
+
+NOTE: It is not recommended to transfer your DB files
+as the DB files are constantly updated by the eAthena/jAthena
+team. Just read your changes to the new DB files instead of
+replacing the new DB file with your old one.
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+- From a release older than 670:
+1. Transfer your old data files (Athena.txt, Account.txt,
+ Storage.txt, Pet.txt, etc) into the /save/ folder
+2. Transfer/Edit grf-files.txt, gm-account.txt as neccessary
+3. Transfer any extra custom NPCs/DBs to the new /npc/ folder
+ and edit if neccessary
+4. Edit .conf files to setup your server
+5. You're done!
+
+NOTE: It is not recommended to transfer your .conf files from
+your old eAthena setup to this new one because there are always
+changes and new additions to these .conf files all the time
+
+NOTE 2: It is also not recommended to transfer your DB files
+as the DB files are constantly updated by the eAthena/jAthena
+team. Just readd your changes to the new DB files instead of
+replacing the new DB file with your old one.

+Frequently Asked Questions
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+A: You're missing the cygwin dlls. Please get the latest dll at:
+ http://www.cygwin.com/snapshot. If you're unsure, asking
+ around in our IRC chatroom will get you around too, but
+ always remember - use common sense and search before asking.
+
+Q: My map-server won't load! It appears to be loading things
+ before it dissapeared suddenly! HELP!
+A: Use command line to load map-server. It should tell you the
+ error. If you're missing a map, update your kRO Sakray or
+ uncomment the map from map_athena.conf. If you have an
+ errornous NPC, fix it or comment it off. Anything other than
+ that, feel free to ask around.
+
+Q: My map-server failed to load 'adata.grf'! Where do I find
+ this adata.grf? My map-server won't load without it!
+A: The error that caused the map-server to not load is not the
+ adata.grf. You do NOT need to have adata.grf so that the map
+ server can load. The error is probably something else.
+
+Q: All 3 of the servers are loaded, but I am still having
+ problems accessing it! What do I do?
+A: First, check the IPs in map_athena.conf and char_athena.conf.
+ If that's correct, check the ports to make sure they match.
+ If that's correct too, you probably cannot handle the server
+ load. Lower the monster spawning rate using mob_count in
+ battle_athena.conf and it should be fine.
+
+Q: You said eAthena has 2-2 skills. Well, I tried it and there
+ are no 2-2 skills when I use 2-2 characters! You lie!
+A: No, I did not. You have an outdated Ragexe/Sakexe that does
+ not support 2-2 skills. Update it to a later one which does.
+
+Q: How do I start Guild Wars/War of Emperium??? HELP!!!
+A: Read the help.txt for full list of commands that GMs can use.
+ @agitstart and @agitend is also listed there as commands to
+ start and end Guild Wars.
+
+Q: My Ragnarok Online crashed while playing with eAthena! What
+ do I do now?
+A: Well, if your Ragnarok crashes, it's most probably not
+ anything to do with eAthena. Something is wrong with your
+ Ragnarok installation. Try reinstalling or updating.
+
+Q: Is eAthena compatible with mySQL? Can I use mySQL as the DB
+ instead of using text files?
+A: Yes, eAthena is compatible with mySQL. A tutorial on how to
+ setup this is coming soon.
+
+Q: Is eAthena compatible with msSQL? Can I use msSQL as the DB
+ instead of using text files?
+A: No, eAthena is not compatible with msSQL. You cannot use
+ msSQL with eAthena.
+
+Q: I found a bug! Where do I report it?
+A: Drop the developers a line at the IRC chatroom. Or just post
+ it in the bug report forum. We check them out too. :)
+
+Q: I know alot of C and I'm able to help improve eAthena and
+ add new features. How can I join your development team?
+A: Try talking to one of the current developers in the eAthena
+ channel.
+
+Q: What is this AthenaAdvanced/omniAthena that I keep hearing of?
+A: Huh? What's that?
+
+Q: Why does eAthena crash, and how come you can't prevent this?
+A: eAthena is a working in progress we never stated eAthena is
+ bug free, most likely no software is bugfree, if they state
+ this they are lying sons of beeps and you should sue them
+ for false advertisement.
