1.15 The Genie in the Lamp
NOTE FROM THE ADMIN: Lamps are no longer given upon going through the Portal of Fates. However, we have kept this help file as a reference to the questions that the Lamp answered, as below. The help files remain useful, and so we have kept this help file for posterity. Please note since you no longer get a lamp, you will no longer be able to trade it in for credits either. ----- When entering through the Portal of Fates for the first time, the Fates will gift you a special magic lamp, which you can RUB to get advice and suggestions from the genie within. Each time that you RUB the LAMP you will be given a new set of questions until you have asked all the questions at least once. While the first time you ask a question you will be prompted with options, once a question is asked you will not be shown it again. To allow you to re-ask old questions, the list of questions have been provided below. You can re-ask any question by doing SAY <question text>. When doing so, leave out the number of the question. So for example, SAY WHAT QUESTIONS CAN YOU ANSWER? In addition to the below questions, you will also see questions related to ACHIEVEMENTS. Those questions are not enumerated below and only show if you have not yet fulfilled certain newbie achievements. When you hold the lamp which the Fates have given you and you ask any of the following questions, you will receive an answer. 1. What questions can you answer? A: See HELP NEWBIELAMP 2.
