Things NOT to do as a newbie.

1. Start asking for help BEFORE reading the available help.
2. Continually pester players about partying with you.
3. Demand heals from players.
4. Spam channels other than 'newbie' with lots of ?'s.
5. Ask immediately for equipment from players.
6. Continue to pester players that are not responding. That usually means they are in combat, or are too busy to answer.
7. Beg repeatedly for gold.
8. Talk about other muds on the main mud channel. We have created an additional channel 'zombie' for those questions.
