'''First off, welcome to NEStalgia!'''

NEStalgia is an old school, turn-based, 8-bit inspired MORPG. This is a quick guide for new players to get them acclimated to how things work in NEStalgia and save them from initial frustrations. If you find yourself stuck, veterans of these games will know the most important rule is:

'''Talk to Everyone!''' This means you should talk to all the townsfolk and get hints on what to do next before asking on wsay, "Where's Krasus?"

<span style="color:red">'' '''Note: You can also check the in-game help by pressing the F1 key.''' ''</span>

<div style="clear:both">
== Where Do I Start? ==
{| width="100%"
| style="vertical-align:top" |
There are many servers to choose from when launching NEStalgia for the first time. There are many official servers hosted by [[Silk Games]], and many hosted by players themselves. Thats right you can host your very own server!.
You can tell the difference between these servers:
*Official Servers will be donated by a [[image:Flag.png]] or [[Image:Server_Official_Password.png]]
*Hosted by other players have [[image:World.png]] or [[Image:Server_Public_Password.png]]

Some of them may also have a lock indicating you need a password to log into.

There are also two game types:
*[[Image:Server_PvE.png]] [[PvE Server|PvE]] is about teaming up, although you can challenge players to battle.
*[[Image:Server_PvP.png]] [[PvP Server|PvP]] allows player to randomly attack each other, but does have some rules.

| align="right" |
[[Image:Shops.png|320px]]
|}

== Shade ==

{| width="100%"
| style="vertical-align:top" |
First off, what is the [[Shade]]? The Shade is that big gray blob that floats around, which is actually a roaming boss that should only be attempted by groups of high level characters.
| align="right" |
[[Image:Shade-screen-1.png|320px]]
|}

== Tips ==
* '''Talk to everyone!''' Seriously, most of your quest related questions can/will be answered by the people of that town. So talk to all of the townsfolk before asking things like: "Where's Krasus?".
* Look for flaws in the wall patterns to find hidden passages throughout the game.
* You should be able to fight a boss about every four or five levels.
