Is there a forum specifically for newbs?

I am trying to my great chagrin and mild embarrassment to figure out how to tell what I have in my backpack. I have tried many commands and searched the web in hopes of finding the answer myself. A little help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to ask for help in game? I know there is a mail system. Is there a place where newbies can send questions or requests for assistance?

There's the newbie pin. <exa pin> it's a help line for newbies where you can ask questions. Also for the backpack. To see what's inside it just open it and <exa pack>

All items you can 'examine' (or exa for short), or 'look at'. Containers like backpacks you can also 'look in'. However if they are closed, you won't see anything inside them... so make sure it is opened before examining .

It seems so simple I should have guessed, lol. Thanks a bunch!

Did you <read sign> all through the Tutorial island?
That logs them in your Journal and you can reference back to it whenever you need to.

I set up a trigger for "unread sign" to execute <read sign> so that I didn't miss any.
Also, there's a little tutorial maze in the building to the far West of town. It helps too.
And there's a portal at the hill you start the game at that'll give you a nice reward at the end.
