: Go and see &lt;npc&gt;Io Flotto&lt;/npc&gt; in [[Semos]] Temple. If she already has taught you the rules of telepathy she will automatically notice your marking. If she hasn't taught you telepathy yet, you will need to learn from her then start another conversation.

; Why does &lt;npc&gt;Carmen&lt;/npc&gt; say I have a bad aura?

: You must have attacked another player recently. You can't get free healing for a while but you can pay for healing (for example to &lt;npc&gt;Ilisa&lt;/npc&gt; or &lt;npc&gt;Jynath&lt;/npc&gt;)

: There is a GUI for player to player trading - right click on a player and select ''Trade'' to start. You can learn more from &lt;npc&gt;Dagobert&lt;/npc&gt;. You can also create offers through Trade Manager &lt;npc&gt;Harold&lt;/npc&gt;. Just name your item and price and he takes the item for you. You can collect the money after another player accepts the offer. More detail is at [[NPC Harold]].

; How do I trade safely without using &lt;npc&gt;Harold&lt;/npc&gt;?

: Please use the ''Trade'' GUI right click option which &lt;npc&gt;Dagobert&lt;/npc&gt; explains.

: Ask &lt;npc&gt;Dagobert&lt;/npc&gt; about access to a ''vault''.

: The wizard's bank in the magic city allows you to do this. You get to the [[Fado Great Caves|magic city]] via some tunnels in the [[Fado]] / [[Kalavan]] area, or the orb at &lt;npc&gt;Jynath|Jynath's&lt;/npc&gt;.

: Use &lt;code&gt;/ignore playername&lt;/code&gt; and you will not receive public or private messages from them any longer.

: Please use &lt;code&gt;/ignore playername&lt;/code&gt; as above.

: Let &lt;code&gt;/support&lt;/code&gt; know and we will try to investigate to help you.

: Thanks for helping us beta test this game! I (&lt;player&gt;kymara&lt;/player&gt;) don't know a single player who hasn't died 'unfairly' - sorry for the stress it will have caused you but thanks again for helping us.

: Try asking &lt;npc&gt;Starkad&lt;/npc&gt; ([[Semos]] Plains South) for information on the creature. If he doesn't know where you could find it, there are no natural instances of that creature in the game. If you need it for your Mayor Sakhs task, try the Death Match challenge..

: Find the Recruiter &lt;npc&gt;Thonatus&lt;/npc&gt; who walks around the upper part of [[Ados]] Swamp

; If my friends help me in the deathmatch and they kill a creature that is their own mayor quest, will &lt;npc&gt;Mayor Sakhs&lt;/npc&gt; accept it?

: An 11th creature spawns if you have not yet killed what you need for your [[StendhalQuest#Daily_Monster_Quest|daily quest]] from &lt;npc&gt;Mayor Sakhs&lt;/npc&gt;.

: Yes it is, go to &lt;npc&gt;Wilfred&lt;/npc&gt; in [[Ados]] Town Hall. But remember you can always just leave your ring in your chest and then your partner cannot teleport to you with his ring. Perhaps it's better to have a cooling off period before you take the drastic step of divorce ...

: They have yellow names. Also try &lt;code&gt;/adminlevel &lt;playername&gt;&lt;/code&gt; which will tell you the admin level of any player.

: Never tell your password to anyone (that includes admin!). It's most likely this person is impersonating an admin (though you can check, as explained above.) Report this person to &lt;code&gt;/support&lt;/code&gt; please. And remember not to tell your password to anyone!

: Never tell anyone your password! That includes, don't tell it to &lt;code&gt;/support&lt;/code&gt;! Please change it using the website as described above.

: It's a building in [[Semos]] Plains West, which you can visit and even meet the &lt;npc&gt;Marcus|prison guard&lt;npc&gt; and &lt;npc&gt;Conual|inmates&lt;/npc&gt;.

; Where &lt;b&gt;exactly&lt;/b&gt; are the new maps and creatures and quests?

: A database reset was discussed in early 2007 to simplify migration to a new version of the marauroa infrastructure and introduce a new RP system. The database was migrated to Marauroa 2.0 without any dataloss. The new RP system will not be there as a &quot;big bang&quot; but was developed in small steps. For example training (&quot;camping&quot;) was something that was required in the past but is optional now. Low level players get a penalty when using items designed for high level players. No database reset was required for these changes. While we are still working on improving the RP system even more, there is no database reset planned.

:* What java version you have. In Linux, type &lt;pre&gt;java --version&lt;/pre&gt; in a command line. Windows users, check [http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&amp;try=1 here].

: *If the game does crash again with an out of memory error, a file ending with &lt;code&gt;.hprof&lt;/code&gt; is created in the current directory, we would love to see this file to diagnose the error, so please join {{irc-arianne}} so that we can get it from you.

: then save this as a document called start.bat, in the same directory as the stendhal-0.XX.jar icon which you normally double click. Now to start the client you double click start.bat. You'll see a DOS prompt open and then the client will load as normal. If this hasn't worked the likely reason is that Windows is hiding your file extensions, so that your text file has been saved as start.bat.txt and isn't recognised as a batch file, and your client is only referred to as stendhal-0.XX as the .jar is hidden. Anyway, to fix this try one of the guides found by googling ''windows unhide file extensions'' such as [http://support.mfm.com/support/std_procedures/unhidefileextensions.html] for up to Windows XP and [http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1269/vista_show_unhide_file_extensions/] for Vista. &lt;small&gt;Disclaimer: external sites are not our responsibility and are not necessarily tested, written or maintained by the Stendhal team. What you do to your own computer is your responsibility&lt;/small&gt;.

: It could be that [http://ping.eu/ your connection to the host stendhalgame.org] is slow. Or it could be more generally that [http://just-ping.com/index.php?vh=stendhalgame.org&amp;c=&amp;s=ping! the connection of your area of the world to the server] has a slow link somewhere. In any case, ''max. rtt'' -Round Trip Time- should be under 300.

: You can [[SubmitBug | Submit a bug]] yourself, or if you want advice or help before you do this, ask &lt;code&gt;/support&lt;/code&gt;.

:*Now look for the file &quot;windows.properties&quot; located in the stendhal folder that was created automatically when you started the game for the first time. You should be able to find it in your computer account's main folder (ie. ~/ on Linux systems or C:\Documents and Settings\{useraccount}\ on Windows XP) In case you can't find that file, simply do a search for it on your main hard drive.

:*Delete the file &quot;windows.properties&quot; (it will be recreated the next time the stendhal client starts anyway)

; Who is the &lt;player&gt;postman&lt;/player&gt;?

: He's an NPC, but he appears on the &lt;code&gt;/who&lt;/code&gt; list like a player, so you know you can message him. Try &lt;code&gt;/msg postman help&lt;/code&gt; and he will tell you what he can do for you.
