Problems
--------
*If you are recieving any kind of error/crash/bug while playing any
of my games report it to me at todd@toadywonders.com I will usually be
able to fix the problem very quickly.
*If you are recieving VBRun errors or errors about missing components
go to www.microsoft.com and download the latest VBruntime compents.
I should have a page up soon about how to fix this problem. It mostly
only occurs on Windows 95 machines.
*If you want something in the game changed or added email me
*I know of some problems with the game client connecting to my server.
You shouldn't run into any problems playing, however I will 
be changing the character vault as soon as I fix the problem.
(If your worried about loosing your online characters don't worry.
You will still have the same characters.)

*Fight all the monsters in an area at least once. Training/Power Gaming
Makes the game easier.
*Drink potions whenever you possibly can
*Save often, you never know how powerful a monster can be
*Take at least one level of Healing Spell when creating your character
*The Healing spell is very important throughout the game
*Check www.toadywonders.com for the latest news in games
*Make sure you create an area first and save it before saving a
script or conversation in the toolset or your game will be defective
*Don't use an out-of-date version to your advantage while online
*Do not make trainers for this game without my permision
*Play around with different character builds and types, you never know
what you might like or what might work well
