Getting Started

The Unknown Lands is becoming richer and more involved each day as its many members build upon its lands, people and society. As a result, getting started may be a daunting experience. To make your introduction into this vibrant new world easier, you should read through the website and familiarise yourself with the many characters and places, as well as etiquette.

This section offers the information needed to build your first bio and make your first post. If you have any questions, post in the OOC folder and a member of staff will be along to help you.

If you are new to Delphi and still finding your way around the forums, it may be helpful to visit the Delphi Community Learning Centre. There you will learn how to make posts, reply to posts and navigate the many varieties of forums.

The first thing we suggest to new members is to associate themselves with the layout of the Unknown Lands. All the information you need can be found on this website. This section in particular will help lead you through the first crucial steps needed for joining the Unknown Lands.

First we ask that you read through the Getting Started section of the website. This contains information necessary for members both new and old.

Rules & Conduct: while we strive to minimize the number of rules, there are still guidelines that must be followed to ensure that storylines move smoothly and members are able to write together amicable. We especially ask that you familiarise yourself with the various forms of God Modding.

Folder Descriptions: the next step in familiarising yourself with the Unknown Lands is to understand each folder. This will make it easier for you to visualise the layout of the lands. Also using the Maps of the Lands will help you in this regard. As the Lands are ever growing and changing, the maps are also ever growing and changing.

Creating a Bio: once you're familiar with the rules and layout of the Unknown Lands you are ready to create a biography for your character. In this section you will be given a detailed description of everything that is required for your bio to be accepted. When it's ready, you need only post it in the Sigs & Bios folder and a member of staff will approve it within a day. If this is your first bio, we may wish to contact you via email through your profile. This is to ensure that all members have a valid email address.

Once your bio is approved and your character has posted in either the Visitors Centre or the Harbour Gates, the folders will be opened to you and you will be able to begin writing with other members.

There is a wealth of other information in the Unknown Lands website to help ease you into our community of excellent writers. If you cannot find an answer on the website, please contact a member of staff either in the OOC folder or via email at unknownlands@shaw.ca.
