If you die at the start...

1. Just wait however long it is until a new game day (Maximum 3 hours)
2. Buy the cheapest weapon or armor you can right away, this will help greatly.
3. Be active on the forum and have FG to exchange into LOGD Gold to purchase gear with, this will help a lot as well.
4. Make friends and hopefully they'll donate to you? Maybe!

Also if you were thinking that we are cruel people and made the game impossible...remember that when the original version of this game was written...

- The game is actually intended to have 10 turns per 24 hours.
- The game is not intended to allow Forum Gold/Game Gold exchanges.
- The game is not intended to have all the extra equipment, e.g. Amulets, Gloves, Cloaks.
- The game is not intended to have all these extra features in which you can make gold in.

Now does it sound more optimistic? I hope this has helped
