Klikini posted in Announcements & Events 10 years ago (edited 5 years ago)
If you're here, you probably want to play Children of Ur. That's great and all, but you might want a little help.
Creating an Account
Currently, creating an account is not needed, because there is no account system yet. Instead, use /setname {name you want} in global chat. That's slash, setname, space, the name you want, enter. Your avatar from Glitch will be loaded, and your changes will be saved on your computer until you clear your cookies.
Forums Account
Although the game does not have accounts yet, the forums require an account to post. Just go to the login page and click Log In.
Inventory
Your inventory is stored by username on the server, so always choose the same username on different computers to access your inventory. Your other changes will only be available on your computer.
Features
Quoins
The following quoins are in the game, and will function:
- Currant
- Energy
- Mood
- iMG
- Quarazy
The following quoins are in the game, but do not work yet:
- Favor
- Time
You can collect a quoin by walking or jumping into it.
Trees, Plants, Rocks, and Dirt Piles
You can interact with these items, but you will need to buy the right tools from a vendor first!
Vendors
You can buy items from vendors, as long as you have enough currants. You can get currants by collecting quoins or with the /setcurrants {amount} command. That's slash, setcurrants, space, the number of currants you want, enter.
Items you buy will be saved in your inventory for use in the game.
Shrines
Shrines are currently in the game, but do not function yet.
Piggies 
Piggies are walking around the game on most streets. You can interact with them just like you would before.
That's it! You can Play Now if you want to!
Please note that although this guide was posted by a CoU dev, it is in no way official, only a collection of advice.

I'm thinking things have advanced since this was written because I was able to do some of the things it says we can't do yet. Yay for progress!

I got a blank page when it signed in today. Hope I will be able to get in to the game later to hop and jump.

I haven't popped in for a while, but the lag handling has improved A LOT!! Really enjoying the new achievements and skillsets.

I'd thought this was dead as I haven't been able to log in for the longest time—until I tried logging in with Facebook 😅
