 ===== Mechanics of the Game =====
-In EMPerish MMO, players engage in a constantly evolving world, even when offline. The game operates on a turn-based system, with each turn occurring every hour, advancing the in-game clock by 12 hours. Players receive 5 action points per turn to explore, gather resources, craft items, or engage in combat strategically. Additionally, there's a chance for item replenishment inside/outside of every area that occurs each turn, adding an element of unpredictability and encouraging continuous exploration.

+You will be able to navigate the map using the 3x3 tile map from the map screen. Depending on the location you will be able to gather different resources and search for items in that area. You can enter all buildings as well as [[guide:barricade_guide|barricade]] buildings to prevent other players from entering the building.

 ===== First Steps =====

+Your first steps will be to get out of the street and find safety inside of a house. Other players can easily spot you if they are moving by while you are outside and can attack you. If you get knocked out, you will drop all the items in your backpack and other players can pick up the items you dropped.
+Use the map to navigate from house to house and search inside homes for the best loot. You will need to find an [[item:Axe]] and a [[item:Saw]] to Craft [[item:plank|Planks]]. You will also need to find a [[item:Hammer]] and a [[item:Box of Nails]] to build a [[guide:barricade_guide|Barricade]].
-===== Important Tips =====
+Once you have Barricaded a home you will be able to use it as your safe house. You can drop your items on the floor and they will no despawn. This allows you to keep items that you do not need to take with you when traveling outside. Be warned, other players will be able to break down your barricade and enter your safe house if it takes enough damage. Be sure to keep an eye on your Barricade's health and make any repairs if needed.
-Find a home inside when your sign off or run out of Action Points.
+Once you have a Barricaded home, you can start looking for food and water. Water can be refilled using empty bottles and filling them from a water source like a lake or river. Food can be found inside of homes or Food Stores. Another great source of food is from Trapping. You will be able to craft a [[item:Stick Trap]] that can catch small animals. You will need a [[item:knife]] to skin the animal and you will need a campfire to cook the meat.
+There are many possibilities in the game so continue to explore the map and make different friends or enemies.
+===== Knocked Out =====
+It is possible to get knocked out in the game and you will not be able to move for 3 turns. You will get knocked out when your health reaches 0.
+You will lose health if:
+  * You are attacked and hit
+  * Your Hunger is at 0%.
+  * Your Thirst is at 0%.
+If you do get knocked out, all the items in your back pack will be dropped.
+===== Important Tips =====
+  * Be sure to be inside when logging out or when you run out of Action Points to be safe.
+  * Try to find a Safe House that is not near popular areas like Stores or Water Sources.
+  * Dropped items in your Safe House do not despawn. Do not carry items you do not need while travelling to avoid losing them.
