THINGS I WISH I'D KNOWN EARLIER - Miscellany

=====================================

* If you discover a bug in game, use the /bug command to report it. This will help it get fixed faster.

* The mere fact that you dislike something doesn't mean that it's a bug. Use /feedback to provide opinions and suggestions.

* If you have a question, utilize the search option on the message boards, found at the top of the screen. You can select to search all forums and categories, or limit your search to specific areas. 

* If you want to keep easy track of a particular thread on the forums, press "watch this topic" at the bottom of any page in that thread.  Any time there is a response to that topic, you will receive notification.

* Most PC races have two graphic models, standard and alternate (or SOGA) models. To pick which you'd rather see when playing, go to Options > Alternate Models. You can select for each race which model you'd prefer. NOTE THAT THIS ONLY AFFECTS HOW YOU SEE YOUR OWN AND OTHER CHARACTERS. How other players will see your characters -- whether they'll see the default models or the SOGA models -- will depend on their settings, not yours. So you'll probably want to define your characters' appearance in both models. Conveniently, after creating a character, you have one opportunity, at no cost, to define the character's appearance in whichever model *wasn't* used in the original creation process.
