A: Moderators are Chosen by Lord A and J.NicoletteCanne, after consulting other archwizards and some moderators. The choice is based on their understanding of the game and general skill in handling situations in chat. (Asking a Moderator, Arch Wizard or Admins WILL NOT make you a Mod, it will more than likely decrease your chance.)

    are regularly cleaned up. So log in with the mule once a week or just give them over 10m gold and they

A. Exactly what it says, all items have Stat requirements, if you buy them and don't have the stats you can't equip.

Q. Okay, how do I find out there Stat/Level requirements?
A. Well there are 2 ways to find out (Asking in Chat isn't 1 of them, people will just tell you to do what's said below).

1. go to God of War's Help site and go to the equipment section.
2. when in the shop, select the item and click the examine button, then below it will display the items info.

Q. Okay I'm a Certain Race, what items are best for me?
A. All Race info can be found at God of War's Help site and click on RACES.

Q. Okay i just leveled what do i click on?
A. When you first start its advisable to raise Ntl or Str to equip better items as items have a Stat Requirement.

Weapons require STR
Spells require NTL
Armor requires VIT

Casters should Level: (over 10 levels)

· Wis x 5
· Ntl x 3
· Vit x 1

Fighters should Level: (over 10 levels)

· Dex x 5
· Str x 3
· Vit x 1

This is only a rough guide, different players may have other ways, it's your choice in the end.

Q. I'm Level 'XXX' what should I be fighting?
A. Don't ask this question, each player has his/her own limits, someone at level 100 may be able to kill a Druchii Guardsman in Ta'lorn where other may only be able to kill a Skulking Minion, its all down to Equip and Gem setup. (Instead of asking others ask yourself, can I kill a Veteran and Fanatic of this type of Monster, if the answer is yes move up to the next Monster).

Q. How do I heal?...and can I heal outside of battle?
A. Yes you can heal outside of battle, but only if you own a House on Estates hill. To heal in Battle you can either:

· equip a heal spell and use that.
· enchant your equip with a Ruby or Bloodrock gem  (Ruby is best for fast regeneration, but also costs more).
· upgrade Ghost Armor to Mystic Armor (Saintly Plate '++') ('++' = the level of the Ghost Armor).

2. Chat Related Questions.

Q. Why do some people have bold names?
A. People with bold names are Archwizards. They watch over the game and make sure that everything runs well. Some Archwizards watch players to ensure that the rules are being followed, while others answer emails and watch over the server and database.
