Movement
To move your character, you click the 'Move Here' link on one of the eight grid squares that is shown around your characters square (ie. where you are). Movement costs one AP (Action Point) and when you don't have any AP left you can't move any more.
Action Points
Every action within the game requires Action Points (generally 1 per action). When you first start out your character regains 1 Action Point every 30 minutes (in real time). You can reduce this by increasing your 'speed' statistic as your character gets better.
Gaining Experience
To become better, you need to gain experience (EXP) and 'Level Up' your character. The normal way to do this is to fight creatures within the world (you must be on the same square as the creature in order to attack it). Although there are other ways to gain experience, but this is for you to find out

Statistics
The following statistics can be upgraded -
ATK - Your attack power is compared with your enemies defence when working out 'to hit' chances.
DEF - Your characters defence, the higher this is, the less chance an enemy has of hitting you.
HP - The health of your character - when this reaches 0, you will be transported to the nearest hospital and also drop all your Gold Pieces where your died.
MP - Magic points - this will be useful for magical abilities once your character becomes more powerful.
AC - Your characters armour class. This reduces the damage you take when struck successfully by an enemy.
DMG - The range of damage you can inflict when stiking enemies. Certain weapons and items will increase this.
AP - Your Action Points, used to perform pretty much any action within the game.
SPEED - The time period until you gain your next AP.
Skills
Many skills can be learned within the Gothador Realm. You will need to discover these yourself, however here is a cryptic clue to your first skill - 'Sense'...
