===First Steps===
 Once you log in, your character will [[Spawning|spawn]] in the tutorial. It is strongly recommended that you follow complete the tutorial to get a hang of game mechanics before jumping through the portal to a server. There are often staff members in the tutorial when you first enter or accessible through the world of WurmTutorial Help tab, as it will help if you become familiar with the basic controls and [[action]]s within the gamehave questions. If you need to review the tutorial again, you can find it in the [[Book of Wisdom]] by clicking on the book icon in the lower right of the [[notification]]s window.

The lower left of your screen is your [[chat window]]. Tabs at the top indicate different channels and personal messages. You can click on a tab to make it active, press Enter to start typing, and type a message into the window.
CA HELP is watched by [[Wurm staff|Community Assistant]]s and other helpful players. You may ask or answer questions in this tab, but general conversations should take place elsewhere. Currently, CA help is split into Northern and Southern channels. We also have Russian, German, and Non-English (all other languages) Help tabs, where players and staff are available to help. Wurm officially only allows English in all other public channels, but if you are in need, feel free to ask for help in your language in GL or Freedom chat. It is likely a player who speaks your language will message you to help. Wurmians are very friendly and we have players from all over the world.  [[Chat#Freedom|Freedom]] is a chat for players on the same [[server]] as you and [[Chat#Global|GL-Freedom]] is a global chat that can be seen by any player on any [[PvE|Freedom Isles (PVE)]] server, except [[PVP#Chaos|Chaos]]. You can toggle Freedom chat by typing '''/kchat''' and GL-Freedom by typing '''/gchat'''. If the tabs are not open already, you can send a message to Freedom by using '''/shout <message>''' and GL-Freedom by using '''/gshout <message>'''. Freedom is a good place to ask if you are lost or trying to find something on your server. GL-Freedom can be a good place to ask for general adviceconversation. [[Chat#Private Message|Private messages]] may be sent between players on any server by typing '''/tell <player> <message>'''. If the player exists, this will open a new tab with that player’s name. If a player sends you a private message, it will also open a tab in which you can reply to them. [[Chat#Local|Local chat]] can be heard by anyone within 80 tiles of your current location. The list in the right portion of the window shows you players that are currently in your local and able to hear messages sent to local.
