by Welcome to the RA Server. An Atlas server, more complex and full of content than probably any other. To get along here, it is important to know a few things.
This Wikipedia will hopefully help you with this. But first, let's get started:
After you have spawned on C3 wearing nothing but your ugly underwear, you have to figure out how to leave the island. Building there or even moving in is NOT possible this early in the game. Begging and peddling are also not welcome. Structures will be removed immediately.
The good news is that you even get something for free at the very beginning. A starter ship, including some tools and food. You can pick up these ships from the NPCs at the harbor - on the far left and far right - and sail off into the world.
The bad news: these were the first and only handouts you will ever receive in the RA world. From here on, you won't get anything for free.
Before you set off on the ship, you have the opportunity to complete small land crates around the city. You have to use a spear or your fists to stop skeletons from destroying a treasure chest. If you succeed, you will receive a few gold pieces. You can use these on the NPC market in Nassau Hire crew members and put them on the sails of your ship. This makes traveling much more comfortable.
Before you get started, you should first found a company, even if you are alone. Only players who have founded a company can use technical Support by the admins. Various other technical problems can also only be solved in a company. Since this is done quickly and costs nothing, I HIGHLY recommend it! Press "L" in the normal assignment, select a name and press OK. Don't worry, you can still join a company afterwards. You can read about the best way to do this here: Change & merge company. Have a good trip!
If you get thirsty on the way, you can quench it at one of the centrally located fountains. Simply press "E" to drink.
