New Player Guide:<BR>CHATTING AND CHAT RULES</FONT></H1>
<P>Horse people are a chatty bunch, and on Horse Isle we are no
different! However, there are some rules that, for the protection
especially of our youngest players, the <A HREF="mods.html">Moderators
</A>enforce on all players, regardless of age:</P>
<UL>
<LI><P><B>Absolutely NO giving out personal information of any kind!
</B>No names, street or city addresses, ages and/or birth years,
schools, phone numbers, email addresses, personal websites, or
anything that a person can use to pin down your identity. Saying
which country, state or province you live in is acceptable, and what
day your birthday is <I>without</I> giving away your age or birth
year, is okay.</P>
<LI><P STYLE="font-style: normal"><B>No shouting! </B>The use of ALL
CAPS is a long-standing, pre-internet shorthand for screaming and
yelling at others. As such it is considered extremely rude and if
not caught by the chat filters, will be caught by the mods!</P>
<LI><P STYLE="font-style: normal"><B>No name-calling.</B> If you
have a problem with another player, tell a Moderator and/or file an abuse report. Look in the
PLAYERS list; see who has a green star, and PM them, telling them
the problem you're having and with whom. They should give you advice on what to do. Most often you will be told to mute the player and file a report if it is serious. Both of these actions can be done via the PLAYERS button in the game.
Anyone calling another player names will be muted, regardless how
right or wrong they may be.</P>
<LI><P STYLE="font-style: normal"><B>No whining, no drama! </B>This
isn't a rule, exactly, but it drives the moderators and other
players mad. Please do not shout, "Mods!!!" when you want
to talk to one, and don't say, "Mods! PM me!" Just go
ahead and PM a mod yourself. They don't bite. Also, please, if you
don't have something (a horse, money, etc) that other players have,
do what they did: <I>earn it! </I>Saying, for example, "I only
wish I had a horse! cry, cry, cry!" will only get you ridiculed
and if it keeps up, will get you muted.</P>
<LI><P STYLE="font-style: normal"><B>No Soliciting Dates! </B>Horse
Isle is NOT a dating service, and most mods will immediately mute
anyone who advertises for a boy/girlfriend. Asking, "Whoever's
a boy please PM me" will result in severe action by the mods.
What gender another Horse Isle player happens to be can be found on their STATS page if you are curious, but whether the person is actually that gender or not is none of your
business as it has absolutely no bearing on the game.</P>
<LI><P STYLE="font-style: normal"><B>No swearing or profanity.</B>
Both of these are utterly unnecessary and will result in a player
being instantly muted and probably banned from the game.</P>
<LI><P STYLE="font-style: normal"><B>No trying to avoid the chat
filter.</B> It's there for a reason. Trying to get around the filter by spacing out the letters or putting things between the letters will earn you an instant mute, chat violations and probably get you banned.</P>
</UL>
<P STYLE="font-style: normal">You may read the chat and game rules in
more detail <A HREF="http://master.horseisle.com/web/rules.php">here</A>. Always remember, you were asked to read them,
and you agreed to abide by them before you first logged in. The mods
will hold you to that promise.</P>
<P STYLE="font-style: normal"><B>A note about "chat-speak."</B>
Amongst younger people in the USA especially, it is considered "cool"
and "in" to speak in chat-speak (that is, to say, "is
ne1 going 2 sell me ur horse" instead of "Is anyone going
to sell me your horse?" While people who are used to chat speak
understand it or can at least eventually figure it out, people in
other countries and people who are not native English speakers find
it confusing at best. Several people have complained that they feel
that by using chat-speak, American players are trying to deliberately
exclude them. Please show consideration to other players around the
world (especially those who are trying to learn English) and use
Standard, proper, English in Global Chat.</P>

Player Hint Guide: HORSES </FONT>
</H1>
<P>Horse Isle is the home to literally thousands of horses of many
different breeds, sizes, types and colors. Once you have arrived on
Horse Isle, the first thing you'll want to do is get a horse of your
own. Before you can do this, though, you will need money to buy it,
tack it up, get it groomed and shod and keep it fed, watered and
healthy. Just as in real-life, horse-keeping is not inexpensive!
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Albany, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=4>Acquiring
a Horse</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>There are several ways to acquire a horse on Horse Isle.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="leasing_pen.jpg" NAME="graphics2" ALIGN=LEFT HSPACE=19 WIDTH=198 HEIGHT=176 BORDER=0><B>Leasing.</B>
If you are a brand new player, this is probably the best option for
you, until you earn a bit of money. There are two hack stables (also
known as livery stables, rental barns and so on, depending upon where
you live) on Horse Isle: one in the town of Earton (the first town
you will encounter when you debark the boat from Welcome Isle), and
one in Appleton, a town on the southern end of Horse Isle.</P>
<P>Leasing stables look like small paddocks (at left), and will rent
out a horse for one game day (2 real hours) for a nominal fee. These
horses are already tacked up, groomed and shod; but since they are
not your own, you may not enter competitions with them, nor shoe nor
do many of the other things you can do with a horse of your own.
Also, when you lease, you lease whatever breed of horse is available;
you do not get to choose. So consider wisely whether you would like
to lease a horse at first, or save your money to buy one of your own
(remember that you will need to buy tack as well before you can
ride).</P>
<P><B>Buying directly from another player. </B>Players have horses
for sale all the time, and these will be of all breeds, colors and
sizes—and ranges of experience and training. Watch the chat windows
to see who is selling what. Prices for horses vary considerably, but
on the whole, the more training a horse has (the "higher its
stats" as players will say) the more expensive the horse. Some
breeds, such as the Thoroughbred, are always very expensive to buy.
Other breeds are extremely expensive to buy when the breed has just
been introduced; but if you wait a few weeks, the prices invariably
plummet as Dame Fashion turns her attention elsewhere.</P>
<P><B>Buying a horse at Auction.</B> There are numerous auction
blocks on Horse Isle, but the ones in Earton are by far the most
popular. No direct negotiations with owners are needed at the
auction; just don't get carried away and bid more than you can
afford!</P>
<P><IMG SRC="horseshere.jpg" ALIGN=LEFT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=216 BORDER=0><B>Catching
a wild horse.</B> Wild horses are rare in the Isles, but generally a
player can find one or two a day. Different players have "favorite
islands" for catching wild horses, and some breeds can only be
found in some areas: Arabians, Akhal-Tekes and Australian Brumbies
can only be found in the desert; Norwegian Fjords, Icelandics and
Exmoors can only be found on snowy isles; Mules are only in forests,
and Pasos only in Jungle. Other breeds can be found randomly on any
isle, and in Horse Isle, no breed is rarer than any other.</P>
<P>When you come upon a wild horse, you will see a notification in
the <A HREF="mainscreen.html">Dialog Window</A> telling you that you
have found a horse, and the breed the horse is. You cannot know what
gender or color the horse is until you have caught it.</P>
<P>To catch the horse, click the capture button. A Mini-Game will
appear on the screen.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="catch.jpg" ALIGN=LEFT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=219 BORDER=0>In
order to catch the horse, use the mouse to pull out and position the
noose around the horse's neck. Some players feel that it's easiest to
"throw" the rope in front of the horse and let him run into
it. Releasing the mouse button captures the horse, if the horse and
rope are both in the proper position.</P>
<P>Wild horses are wily! They run slow and then fast, they switch
back and then switch back again, they spin, stop and run. And the
rope will not stay stretched out more than a few seconds! It can be
difficult to catch a wild horse, but with some practice you'll become
an expert!</P>
<P>Unless the horse is one that another player has released, it will
have no experience points. This means it will buck you off when it
gets frustrated. As in real life, just get right back on! A horse
gets one experience point each time it bucks, and it will stop
bucking when it reaches 25.</P>

Player Hint Guide: HORSES: STATS</FONT></H1>
<P><BR><BR>
</P>
<P>When you click on HORSES in the Button Panel, you will get a list
of horses and a chance to look at them individually. Clicking on LOOK
will give you access to the horses' statistics or STATS. This is how
you know how much training your horse has, and whether it needs food,
water, shoeing, veterinary care or just a little love. Pay very
carefully attention to the Statistics, because your horses' value and
performance depends greatly upon them.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="horse_stats_1.jpg" NAME="graphics2" ALIGN=LEFT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=226 BORDER=0>The
top of the horse's statistics page will give you several options: You
can MOUNT or DISMOUNT (get on or get off) your horse; you can FEED
it; you can TACK it or untack it (one button does both); you can PET
it to improve its mood, and you can write a small PROFILE for it. The profile description and horse name must follow the rules of the game and can only be up to 250 characters long. Stylizing your horse's profile (adding colors or italics) will shorten the amount of text you can have. Instructions on how to stylize the profile can be found in the Help Center under HORSES -> Viewing, under TOOLBAR -> Profile/Map or clicking on this link, <A HREF="http://master.horseisle.com/web/helpcenter.php?MAIN=HORSES&SUB=Viewing&KBID=116#KB">Profile Stylizing</A>.
</P>
<P>Also on the horse statistics page you can set your horse's status as a KEEPER (one
you will not part with for any reason), a horse in TRAINING, that you
are competing with and riding, but that you <I>might</I> be willing
to sell under the right circumstances; as TRADING, that is, a horse
for whom you are actively seeking a new home, or RETIRED, a horse
with whom you are no longer competing, or whom you are not riding,
but whom you don't want to part with. (Please, when considering
buying a horse from another player, do not ask to buy a KEEPER or a
RETIRED horse; doing so is very annoying to owners and they will not
forget you in the future!)</P>
<P STYLE="font-style: normal">You will also see here blue bars which
give you stats on your horse's current condition; his HEALTH, HUNGER,
THIRST, MOOD, ENERGY, GROOMING and SHOES. To allow your horse to
perform at his best, all these blue bars should be as high as you can
arrange before entering a competition.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="horse_stats_2.jpg" NAME="graphics3" ALIGN=LEFT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=219 BORDER=0>If
you scroll down a bit, you will see another set of bars that give you
information about more enduring characteristics of your horse. Each
breed has a <B>Breed Maximum</B> which is the highest amount of a
characteristic that this kind of horse can achieve. Wild horses have
stats well below the breed maximum, and these can be improved by
training in that area. Taking a horse to a trainer (which you can do
once a game day) will increase stats by 10 points per training
session. Specialized tack (jumping, racing, etc) will also help
increase various stats, depending upon the kind of tack. Giving a
horse a <B>companion</B> will also increase various stats.
Companions are also very helpful; you can buy these at pet stores,
and different companions will have varying effects on a horse's
stats. (However, companions and tack have the same effects on horses
of all breeds.)</P>
<P><B><FONT COLOR="#800000">A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT TRAINING: </FONT></B>A
number of players have set themselves up as "horse trainers,"
who will use the training pens in their ranches to raise your horse's
stats. While many of these players are reputable and honest, there
are, unfortunately, many who will take a horse from you
and never give it back. Because of this, and the extreme difficulty
of tracking down these deals, <B>we urge you NEVER to give/loan or
otherwise transfer, apart from selling, one of your horses to another
player for any reason.</B> Remember that sometimes, Real Life
interferes; you may not be able to pick up your horse on time, or for
some reason a trainer may not be able to log on. Keep your horses
with you at all times. If you give your horse to another player to train or board and they sell it or won't give it back, there is nothing the administrators can do about it.</P>

is a computer which "serves" files to other computers; the
various Horse Isle servers "serve" the game, via the
internet, to your own computer.) When Horse Isle first "went
live," there was only one server, which later became known as
"Pinto" as more servers were added. Each server can handle
about 150 players at a time. You may log into any server you might
like, but we do recommend that new players log on to the newest
server where there is more room to accommodate them. Scroll down the
server list and you will see which server is the newest.</P>
<P>The server lists will tell you how many other players are online on each server. It also tells you
important game information such as your bank balance, how much cash
you have on hand, and how many quest points you have earned so far.</P>
<P>From time to time, a pink box will appear at the top of the server
list. This will contain news about new additions to the game and

sure you take advantage of his willingness to talk; once you leave
Welcome Isle, you will not be able to return.
</P>
<P>Welcome Willy will teach you a little about questing, too. He will
not give you the money you need to take the boat to Horse Isle, but
he will tell you where a treasure can be dug up. <B>Read carefully
what he tells you. </B>He will be pretty specific about where to dig.</P>
<P>NOTE: Yes, you do have a shovel! In fact, you have an entire
tool-kit! Click on the wrench/spanners on the lower right of the
screen. You have a binoculars, a rake, a shovel, and a magnifying
glass. Because you will use these a great deal during the game,
become familiar with how they work now. When you use your shovel to
dig in the spot indicated by Willy, you will find a small sum of
money, enough to get you started on Horse Isle.</P>
<P><B>To change the way your user icon looks</B>, click the PROFILE
button on the button panel in the center of the screen. There you
will be able to say things about yourself and choose how you look.
Please remember that giving out personal information of any kind
(that is, names, dates, ages, etc) is strictly forbidden, so keep
your profile information limited to things that are relevant to your
experiences here on Horse Isle.</P>

Player Hint Guide: THE MAIN SCREEN</FONT></H1>
<P>This is the screen in which you play the game. It has many
interesting areas, all of which you should become familiar with.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="mainscreen.jpg" NAME="graphics2" ALIGN=RIGHT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=671 HEIGHT=506 BORDER=0>The
<B>GAME WINDOW</B> is where all the visual action takes place. You
will always be in the center of this window.</P>
<P>The <B>DIALOG WINDOW</B> tells you where you are (In Earton on
Horse Isle in this case), what is at the same spot you are on, and
many other things as they come up.</P>
<P>Directly below these windows is the <B>BUTTON PANEL</B>. Clicking
on any of these buttons gives you different information about various
aspects of the game:</P>
<UL>
<LI><P><B>STATS</B> gives you your personal statistics: how tired,
hungry and thirsty you are, what you are wearing, what awards you
have won, how many quests you have finished, and so on.</P>
<LI><P><B>INVENTORY</B> shows what you are carrying with you. Unless
you have a ranch with a shed, you can carry 40 different kinds of
items, and 50 items of each kind.</P>
<LI><P><B>PLAYERS</B> gives you some information on the other
players who are playing at the same time you are. You can see who
they are, find them on a map, look at the horses in their stable,
and send them a private message. Players with single stars next to
their names are monthly subscribers; double stars have subscribed
for three months, and red-centered stars have subscribed for a year.
Green stars with an M inside denote game Moderators (Mods), and red
stars with an A are game Administrators (Admins).</P>
<LI><P><B>PROFILE</B> allows you to change your user icon and what
you have written about yourself in your player profile.</P>
<LI><P><B>MAP</B> is a very interesting and extremely useful
feature. The Map will always show you where you are on the isles.
You can find the names of other places by holding the mouse cursor
over the place whose name you want to know. At the bottom of this
page is a map with most of the islands labelled.</P>
<LI><P><B>HELP</B> brings up a quick run-down of the game in the
Dialog Window.</P>
<LI><P><B>QUIT GAME</B> saves all your settings and gets you out of
the game cleanly. Always end a game by using the quit button to
avoid losing any data!</P>
</UL>
<P>The <B>GLOBAL CHAT WINDOW</B> will show chat from any game
character, and whatever is in this window is seen by all players. It
will also show you who has logged in and who has disconnected. The
<B>PERSONAL CHAT WINDOW</B> shows chat that only your buddies, or a
single person of your choice, can see. Below this is is the chat menu
and type-in area. These will be discussed more thoroughly on the <A HREF="chat.html">Chat</A>
page. This window also shows <A HREF="quests.html">quest</A> progress
and in-game news, so watch it carefully as you play, even if you are
not chatting.</P>
<P>To the right of the SEND button is the Wrench/Spanners icon for
your <B>TOOLKIT</B>. The toolkit contains a binoculars, magnifying
glass, rake and shovel, as well as a volume control for game
background music, a &quot;Low Detail&quot; control (for eliminating
some special effects when playing during peak hours, to make it run
slightly faster), and buttons for clearing the chat windows.</P>
<P>Below all of this is the name of the server you are on, how much
money you have on hand, how many players are online, how much mail
you have waiting for you at City Hall and the current game time and
date. Clicking the four white squares allows you to change the
background melody to a random tune. The FPS number (Frames Per
Second) is a measure of how fast the game is running on your
computer. Twenty-four frames per second is as fast as it will go;
anything higher than 20 is excellent speed.</P>

Player Hint Guide: MODERATORS (MODS)</FONT></H1>
<P>From time to time you will see a comment in <B><FONT COLOR="#198533">GREEN</FONT></B>
text; this is a comment from a Game Moderator, or &quot;Mod.&quot;</P>
<P>Moderators are players chosen by the game developers to act as
mediators, enforce the game rules, and generally keep the game
running smoothly for everyone. Mods are chosen on the basis of their
maturity, both physically (most are parents and some are
grandparents!) and mentally, and their ability to arbitrate and
enforce fairly and without favoritism. (Contrary to rumors you may
have heard, Mods are not paid to moderate, nor do they receive any
benefits whatsoever; they are all volunteers who just enjoy the
game).</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top: 0.17in; page-break-after: avoid"><FONT FACE="Albany, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=4>WHAT
MODS DO</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>Mostly, Mods just try to play the game and have a good time.
Generally, however, Mods are busy answering player questions,
resolving disputes and enforcing the chat rules. Moderators have the
authority to send a player to Prison Isle or MUTE a player (take away
their ability to chat with, or receive chat from, other players)
depending upon the infraction. Mods may also ban players whose
behavior is particularly offensive. These are all judgment calls that
Mods make, and, like umpires in a baseball game, arguing is not
permitted. (If you have read the game rules and follow them as you
agreed to when you joined, however, you should never find yourself in
this situation.)</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top: 0.17in; page-break-after: avoid"><FONT FACE="Albany, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=4>WHAT
MODS DON'T DO</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>Moderators are only game facilitators. They are not libraries,
banks or horse farms. Very few, if any, mods will give you the
answers to game riddles, although some may give you further clues if
they are not busy with questions from other players. Moderators
<I>cannot </I>give you money or horses, nor can they send you to any
place in the game apart from Prison.</P>
<P>Another thing Mods DON'T do is value horses for sale. Please do
not ask the moderators how much a horse is worth; they have no more
idea than you do and no time to research this point. A horse is worth
what others will pay—nothing more or less.</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top: 0.17in; page-break-after: avoid"><FONT FACE="Albany, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=4>DEALING
WITH MODS</FONT></FONT></P>
<P>If you a want a mod to contact you for some reason, just PM
(private message) one. In that message, clearly state your problem.
Then, wait. Most of the time, Mods cannot get back to you immediately
because they are dealing with other players; you will have to wait
your turn. PMing &quot;Are you there?&quot; repeatedly is rude.</P>
<P>If a mod mutes you for a violation of the rules, DO NOT threaten
them in any way. Use the mute time to get your quests done, travel or
bank or eat or care for your horses, and then go on about your
business. Arguing only results in your being muted for even longer
periods of time.</P>
<P>If a mod gives you an answer you don't want to hear, please don't
immediately run and ask the same question of another mod. Mods do
chat amongst themselves...</P>
<P>New mods generally find that once they become a moderator, they
are now prime targets for buddy-collectors. Most mods do not accept
buddies, and many only keep a few of the buddies they had before they
became mods. They do this so as not to appear to have favorites, and
not because they don't like you. Our moderators take their duties
very seriously.</P>
<P>Remember that mods are players too; they are not required to
answer your questions or help you in any way; that they do, when they
can, shows their commitment to the game and in everyone's enjoyment
of it.</P>

Player Hint Guide: MONEY AND BANKING</FONT></H1>
<P>The very first thing you will need to do on Horse Isle is earn
some money. You'll need it for food and lodging for yourself and your
horses, buying tack, entering competitions and paying for travel.</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Albany, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=4>MAKING
MONEY. </FONT></FONT>
</P>
<P>The best way to make money is to do <A HREF="quests.html">quests</A>.
Visit each house and shop, and talk to the people who live and work
there. The vast majority will have things they need done for them,
for which they will pay very well. Some people need things delivered;
some people have lost things and need them found for them. Some
quests are very simple and others extremely difficult; more about
that on the Quests page.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="store.jpg" NAME="graphics2" ALIGN=LEFT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=221 BORDER=0>As
you walk around Horse Isle, you will step on and over all kinds of
things you can grab and put into your inventory. All of these things
can be sold.
</P>
<P>Most of them can be sold to the various shops in the towns. All
the shops in Horse Isle will buy the same kinds of things they sell.
General Stores will buy food items, some articles of clothing, some
miscellaneous horse items, etc. Rock Stores will buy the various ores
and gems you will find. Food stores will buy the berries, apples,
acorns and other edibles you come across.</P>
<P>Stores generally buy items for about half of what they sell the
same items for, and different stores have different prices. As you
travel around Horse Isle, keep notes on which stores sell for the
least and buy for the most.</P>
<P>Items which cannot be sold in stores can usually be sold to
individual NPCs throughout the game. Search for these people by going
into the houses and talking to them, and seeing what they want. Keep
notes on who buys what, and for how much.</P>
<P>Money can also be made by trading/selling items and horses to
other players. However, you must be very careful when doing this.
Remember, we are, and ought to be, all strangers to each other on
Horse Isle. Sad as it is to say, not everyone can be trusted to make
a fair deal. More on this in the section on Horses.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="bank.jpg" NAME="graphics3" ALIGN=RIGHT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=221 BORDER=0><FONT FACE="Albany, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=4>GROWING
MONEY. </FONT></FONT>
</P>
<P>Once you have made some money, it is highly recommended that you
deposit as much of it as you can in the local banks. The Horse Isle
banks pay interest on money you deposit, and the more money you have
in the bank, the more interest you will accrue. You can deposit as
much or as little as you want, and you can withdraw any amount of
money whenever you need it. All the Horse Isle banks are connected,
so you have access to your money at all the banks in whichever city
you find yourself.</P>
<P>One last note: <B>Never, never, NEVER give anyone money for
nothing!</B> Also, never give "down-payments" on anything,
as unfortunately a player who asks for a down-payment on something is
unlikely ever to be seen again! <B><FONT COLOR="#800000">If this

Player Hint Guide: QUESTS</FONT></H1>
<P>A great deal of your time on Horse Isle will be spent doing
Quests—jobs or favors for NPCs (Non-Player Characters) ranging from deliveries and finding
misplaced objects to solving mysteries and travelling the whole of
the islands to find treasure or missing persons or animals. Some
mini-games also count toward your total quest points.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="quest_stats.jpg" NAME="graphics2" ALIGN=RIGHT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=347 HEIGHT=220 BORDER=0>To
find out which quests are available to you, click the STATS button on
the BUTTON PANEL, and then scroll down to Horse Isle Adventures And
Quests and click VIEW LOG.</P>
<P>You will be shown a page such as the one at right. The quests are
in alphabetical order, and your progress through them is marked by
percentage of quests finished and number of quest points earned.
Quest points are alloted according to the time and travel needed to
complete the quest.</P>
<P>Quests are also ranked by Skill Level; that is, ranked according
to how much figuring out, searching around and general brain-power a
quest requires for completion. There are four levels:</P>
<UL>
<LI><P><B>Novice: </B> Just follow the instructions carefully and
you'll get there.</P>
<LI><P><B>Intermediate: </B>You may have to make some choices along
the way, or search for something, but you will be given definite
advice on how to proceed or where to search.</P>
<LI><P><B>Advanced: </B>Longer and more difficult puzzles which
require considerable concentration and skill on your part to
complete.</P>
<LI><P><B>Master:</B> Long, arduous and difficult puzzles, often
with multiple possible endings, that require a great deal of
patience, skill and concentration to complete. You should not
attempt these quests unless you have sufficient time to spend on
them and enough experience in the game generally to know what you're
doing and what you're likely to need!</P>
</UL>
<P>NOTE: <I>Skill Level and Quest Points awarded are not necessarily
linked. </I> The Skill Level is provided so that you know what you're
in for when you begin a quest!</P>
<P>Almost all quests end in the award of a prize, usually money. But
do not be tempted to make the quest easier on yourself by buying the
items required to finish it from other players! Doing so generally
results in a loss of money at the end of the quest; one particularly time consuming and difficult quest will net you $50,000 at
the end, but if you buy your supplies, then between supplies and the
cost of travel you will end up spending $65,000 or more to complete
it!
</P>
<P STYLE="margin-top: 0.17in; page-break-after: avoid"><FONT FACE="Albany, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=4>GENERAL
HINTS FOR QUESTING</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><B>Keep notes! </B> Write down who gave you the quest and where
they live, and what they want. It is extremely annoying to other
players when lazy questers repeatedly ask for instructions that NPCs
have already given them!</P>
<P><B>Be Patient! </B> Horse Isle is not a competition! You don't
have to complete every quest immediately, and you don't have to be as
advanced as everyone else. You'll get there eventually, so just slow
down and think.</P>
<P><B>Use all your tools! </B>Sometimes when you have to search for
an object, the tool that comes most immediately to mind is not the
one you need. Just because something is lost in the forest doesn't
mean it's necessarily on the forest floor. Squirrels climb!</P>

you first visit the Horse Isle page, you will see the page at right.
In order to create an account, several steps are required.</P>
<P>The first thing to do is to <B>check your version of Flash</B> to
make sure you have the most up-to-date version. Trying to run Horse
Isle on an older version of Flash is a very vexing experience. If
you can see the scene in the window and hear the background music,
you have the latest version (Flash Player 9 at the time of this
writing). If you cannot see and/or hear, you will need to <A HREF="http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/">download
the latest Flash Player</A> for your system. (Horse Isle itself is
system independent and will run on all platforms supported by Flash).</P>
<P>To sign in, click <B>Create an Account.</B> Once you do this, you
will be given an overview of the game rules, and then asked to answer
some questions to make sure you have read and understood them, and
agree to abide by them. If you do not agree to abide by the game
rules, you will not be allowed to sign in! Once you do sign in, you
are responsible for keeping your word and obeying the rules to which
you have agreed.</P>
<P>You will then be required to choose a user name. <B>Your real name
is not allowed as a user name,</B> not now, not later, not ever,
never. AmyBCloony is not allowed; and you probably shouldn't even use
just "Amy." Make up a name that does not contain a real
name, such as Amabarl, or use something descriptive such as
VinylRecord. Whatever name you choose it should be something you will
remember!</P>
<P>User names which are real names, or user names which contain
profanity of <I>any</I> kind will be immediately banned by the
<A HREF="mods.html">Moderators</A>.
</P>
<P><B>Passwords</B> must consist of both letters and numerals. An
acceptable password might be a1b2c3d4. Whatever it is, it should be
both something you will find easy to remember and something difficult
(or, hopefully, impossible) for other people to guess. <B><I>Never,
but NEVER, give your password to anyone under any circumstances! </I></B>You
will be held responsible for anything another person does while
logged into your account.</P>
<P>You will also be asked to give us a <B>VALID email address.</B>
If you are under 13 years of age, you must give us one of your
parents' or guardians' email addresses. In order for you to continue
playing, you will need to click an activation link in an email we
will send you (or your parents will need to click it in their email)
so that we know we have a valid address for you.</P>

<P><IMG SRC="dock.jpg" NAME="graphics2" ALIGN=RIGHT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=226 BORDER=0>Since
there are so many islands here, travelling by ship is a routine
occurrence. You will find docks on all the large islands, and some of
the smaller ones.</P>
<P>It will be a very good idea for you to keep notes on which docks
have ships going to which islands, because no dock has ships which go
to every other dock. The cost of trips depends upon how far away your
destination is. Trips are one way only.</P>
<P><IMG SRC="wagon.jpg" NAME="graphics3" ALIGN=LEFT HSPACE=19 VSPACE=10 WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=147 BORDER=0>You
can also travel, on some islands, by wagon. Wagon fares are much
cheaper than boat fares, but only one wagon route crosses water.
Still, they are very useful for getting around on large islands.</P>
<P>Some NPC's (non-player characters) have the power to teleport or
&quot;jump&quot; you from one location to another. Make sure you
write down the names and locations of these people when you find
them; they are very useful!</P>
