Players FAQ
What is Archipelago?
	Archipelago is a classless based mud ,not like most, so every character can learn whatever they want. The theme of Archipelago was medieval but if you are thinking of starting your own mud you can really convert the code into anything you like. Archipelago uses the Ars Magica Game System where casting is virtually cost-free. The spell system is a bit tricky to start with but the spells are powerful and worth learning. Instead of the original practice to learn spells, Archi uses learn and study. You learn a tech and a form and you study the spell. ie learn creo and corpus and you get to study the Bind Wounds spell which is the healing spell.
Does the code require role-play?
	When Archipelago was open, we just started to get players to role-play BUT other muds using the archipelago code might not or want people to use role-play.
How do you connect to the Mud?
	Sadly to say that Archipelago has now closed (date 1999) due to problems. But a few other muds have now been made using the archipelago code. See Below. Simply Telnet to the address, you might also need the ip address and the port number, then your on!!.....See my newbie help page if you like a flying start in mudding.
