)
One of the first things you need to do is create a character, but to do that you
need to
over to 3k.org port 3000.
Now I know "telnet over to..." sounds greek to some, but it is really easy.
For those who know their way around Windows, its as easy as
Start/Run/Telnet 3k.org 3000. For those who are not all that
familiar, click here for step by step instructions.
Or you could simply click here
Which will open your computers default telnet application.

What is your name:
From this second screen you need to choose a user name.
We aren't like AOL or any of those lame places that make you add numbers to the end.
In fact, we don't allow the use of numbers in names. So pick something. If it comes up
right away asking for a password, then thats how you know that the name is taken.
You will need to hit enter and start the connection process again. Keep in mind,
no profanity or vulgar language is allowed in your character name.

A newbie helper runs in and hands you a pin.
Would you like a basic tutorial in how to play this MUD?
Please type "yes" or "no" and press "Enter".
It is strongly suggested that if you have never played on 3K or a mud, that you
do the basic tutorial. Just read the screen and follow the prompts.
If you need help at any time you have access to the "Newb" line.
Just type (without the quotes) "newb hi i'm new, can someone please help me"
then hit Enter.
Now, you think you're ready to take it to the next level?
Once you have a character name created, it is suggested that you use a client.
A mud client is a program that you download and run on your local machine that
will
enhance your playing experience, and it is
recommended that you get one as soon as you get your feet wet.
There are many different clients out there depending on which OS you use.
They all have different offerings, from built in mappers, aliases, macros,
color, event triggers, scrollback and much more. Try one out, it will
make a world of difference.
