Q: When I login, the whole game is in russian and all NPCs are speaking in russian, regardless of what I do!

A: Your logged onto the russian sever, you need to open up FOconfig in your Fonline folder and type in the server data for 2238 in the "Net" tab. IP: 94.23.237.127 and Port: 2238.

Q: I'm stuck in Vault Eight's 3rd floor right now, the elevator doesn't move / I'm stuck elsewhere in the game, what now?

A: It can happen sometimes. Just get out of the elevator, then get in again. Worst case scenario: contact one of the admins on IRC - if he's available, he'll get you out. If nobody answers on IRC, send PM, but do NOT start a new thread.

Q: Is it possible to give every starting character an awareness perk (or any other perk/feature in general)?

A: It is. But we want to keep the game as close to the originals as it gets.

Q: Is there a level cap? And if yes how high?

A: Yes, the level cap is set to lvl 21 at the moment.

Q: When I start Fonllne it says: "Unable to open spawnnpc.cfg"

A: This is admin stuff and should be disabled. You can just ignore it, your client works perfectly.

Q: I wanna craft/buy/steal/find advanced hi-tech equipment. How do I get Power Armor or Gauss Rifles?

A: Advanced items will be given on special occasions in game, usually by Admins or Game Masters (GMs). The alternative is to connect to The Life After server if you can read russian.

Q: I wish to delete my character to save server space since I'm using a new one...

A: Yes. We could damage the database by deleting something, better leave it as is. However, creation of more accounts per player is not recommended, please use no more than one from now on.

Q: I forgot my password/My account is screwed up/I've got some other problem with my account?

A: Go to irc.forestnet.org, join the official game channel, i.e. #2238 and ask op for help. Ops are marked with @ character, except KoMaP who is IRCop

Q: Who are the devs? Whom should I send PM (emergency only, please!)?

A: Lexx, lisac2k, scypior, Ghosthack and Atom. If nobody answers, it probably means your issue is being worked on, not important or already solved. Do NOT bother the devs, one PM is enough.

Q: Can an admin delete my character so I can make a new character with the same nickname?

A: No, we don't delete chars, make a new one.

Q: How can I get music into the game?

A: Copy the /music/ folder from your Fallout 2 installation or CD and paste it in your FOnline Client /data/sound/ folder. That's it. Now you should be able to hear music ingame.

Q: Where can I get a list of all Profession Trainers?

A: Here, until we update additional notes file.

Q: How can I delete my character?

A: Type into the message box: "~deleteself <your account password>". After you logout and your character dissapears, the account will be deleted.

'Q: How do I make a tent?'

'Q: How do I talk in RED CAPS?'

A: This is called shouting, type /s before your message or hold down ctrl before sending message. Also /r for radio if you have one or hold down shift. /w for whisper or hold alt.
