It means that you are a first tier player that has not remorted - in other words, you are the true new player.

Other people that are your same level without the asterisk means they've remorted at least once.

4 Dimensions has, well, 4 time dimensions to travel in, depending on what your tastes are. There is Future, Medieval, Old West and Prehistoric, each of the dimensions are full of areas for players of ever class and every level. Type help, then the name of the dimension you wish to travel in (example help prehistoric) and it will list the levels and names of zones. Need to know how to get to one? Go 4 south of recall to the Map room where you can find directions to any of our many zones.

If you've identified the item, you can just examine it and it will remind you what it does. BUT, you have to have identified that particular item. Just because you've identified the Rod of Justice once, doesn't make ALL Rod of Justices give up that info on examination.

There are two ways to get to the seeker's guild.

1. The first is by holding the feather.
2. The second is by typing recall, go south and go down twice.

Ah, so you thought that feather was useless did you?

Silly you. But first, let's check to see if you actually have a feather.

Type eq - are you holding it? If so, just rem feather. If not, head on down to Bart's (2 south of recall) and say I am new here.

Bart's really a sweet guy and he'll give you a new feather.

There could be a few reasons for this... First, type i (short for inventory).

[You are carrying 0 of 45 items] 
[You have a total weight of 3/1260]
 Nothing.

The first line tells you how many items you are carrying out of your maximum possible.

Are you at (or in some cases exceed) this limit? If so, you need to decide what you can get rid of (or what you can put in a bag).

If that's not the case, then look at the second line - total weight. Is the total weight of the objects you're carrying over your maxweight?

First check to see if you're wearing your backpack (type eq).

If you are remove it (rem backpack) and then get your object out of it

get < object name > from < bag name >

If that doesn't work, your problem may be that you don't actually have a backpack.

Shops sell recall scrolls and detect invis potions - you just have to find the right shop. Also, not all recall scrolls are called recall scrolls, so check your scrolls carefully. Olde Yorke has a magic shop west of town square that sells such items and is one of the easiest to get to

Most of the best equipment comes from quests, so you'll have to use your mind to get the best stuff, but you can get pretty decent items from the harder zones as well. Shopkeepers sell only basic equipment so don't expect them to have much.

Finding a Zone Flag is the proof that you have explored a certain zone thoroughly. After collecting 10 different zone flags, hand them over to an immortal in exchange for 3 bronze tokens and a certificate with the proof that you have found all 10 flags.

Now and then a new batch of zone flags is announced. Meaning that new zone flags have been added in new zones or already existing zones.
With the release of a new batch a competition is held: the first Clan to report a zone flag will get it reset in their HQ permanently as a trophy.
