This is a typical log from a total newbie at LegendMUD:

  (HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>hello
  You wave hello to the world!

  [Chat] Groth: *bounce* hi hi!

  (HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>what do I do here?
  Huh?

  (HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>hello groth
  You don't see Groth here.

  A cat stretches.
  A cat goes off in search of a nice plump mouse.

  (HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>How do I talk?
  'Do I talk?' you howl.

  (HP:100% MA:100% MV:100%)>quit
  Use QUIT Y if you really want to quit.
  If you quit you will lose all your equipment.

  (HP:95% MA:99% MV:100%)>quit y
  Totalnewbie has left the game.
