Dizzywood Newbie

~Page written by Elle~

For fast navigation, use CRTL F.

When you first log in, under the picture of the area you’re in, (scene shot), this notice will appear, welcoming you to Dizzywood. Later on, when you look below the scene shot, this will be replaced with a present history of what people are saying and doing. This I call the chat log. There used to be a chat log in your backpack, but Dizzywood has taken that off the site because no one could figure out what it did.

When you click Ok, this will pop up in the scene shot.

CHANGING YOUR LOOK

Click on the arrows to change the style, and click in the color boxes to see which colors are available for that ”item”. If you dont know what you want, click on randomize, but in all of the times I’ve clicked that, I’ve ended up with super pale, orange, blue, green, and pink skin.. I don’t suggest randomizing everything. (giggle)

Once you like what you see, to the left of this box, you can click Done and it will save that as your look. Dont worry, you can change these settings anytime by pressing the ”Change Look” bubble in the above right hand corner, above the links to your backpack.

THE ”TOOL BAR”

Next to the Change Look bubble, it says your user name, the amount of coins you have, your server name, and the sign out button. Underneath this is a list of Who’s Here, who is in the same place as you, a list of all the buddies you have made (buddies who are on at the time or were on recently are shown in green, while the ones who are not on are shown in white) and your backpack. (CRTL F backpack for more info)

WALKING / CLOTHING

Now you will learn how to walk! Just click on the ground where you wish to go. If you happen to see someone walking differently, this is explained on the MOVES guide page. (link in the left side bar)

Now you know how to walk and talk, you will learn how to buy clothing. The clothing wagon is in the upper right of the scene shot, and looks like this:

When you click on it, you will get clothes! The clothes shown below are from a screenie I took while playing as my example character, EX4MPLE, who is a guy. Girls will get different clothing when they join. The clothing you get when you first sign up occasionally change, so you may not get these exact items when you join as a boy charrie. You DO NOT get these items if you skip the editorial, I dont think.

After that, you will need to click on the games wagon. It is to the left of the Clothing Wagon and looks like this:

(PICTURE TO BE ADDED WHEN I NEXT GET ON DIZZYWOOD AND CAN SCREENIE IT)

Now you will play a game of … oh.. oh.. DARN! I forgot what it’s called. I’ll edit this part with the game’s name later, when I next get on Dizzywood to find out.

Now you will receive some coins to start out in Dizzywood with! It’s not a lot, but don’t worry! Money will some day come easy.

Now go talk to Presto! This is a picture of what Presto looks like:

Presto will give you a warm welcome to Dizzywood, and then bring you out into the virtual world for you to have fun and meet new people in!

Now, if you happen to talk with Presto (Click on characters to talk with them. Click-able things will have a blue outline when you wave over them.) this is what he will say:

This is what the screen now looks like when you play on Dizzywood..

Your BACKPACK

If you look to your right.. there is your backpack! It holds all of your items and gadgets in Dizzywood. Right now it looks kind of messy and disorganized, but after you gain a few more items it’ll have different ”cubbies” to hold things in, such as this POWERS cubby. (see POWERS page for more info – link in left side bar)

Now you may walk around, play, and buy clothing to customize your charrie! You already know how to do all this, but how do you talk?

Talking

Underneath the scene shot, or the play screen, there’ll be a white bar you can type in. Click in that bar and type what you want to say, then press ENTER or click on the yellow SEND to the right of the text bar to say what you have typed. Sound long? Instead of clicking in the white bar every time, you can just type! If the last thing you clicked was your backpack, and you type, it will bring you to whatever item has those letters at the beginning of the item name. If the last thing you clicked was not in your backpack, you will type in the text bar for talking. Type and press enter instead of clicking on the bar and send button, it’s much easier.

REPORTING PROBLEMS

If you want to report someone for bad behavior, click on the red whistle to the left of the text bar, or click on REPORT A PROBLEM under the dark play box, above the green background for the page. The link to the report a problem page is in the lower right corner, underneath everything. It’s also next to the Explorer’s Journal, or Dizzywood (DW) blog. You can go to the Journal to see what’s new on Dizzywood, or comment on new stuff in the Comments part of the blog. You can also look up some DW history too!

Now you know how to do all of the basics, you can browse through some of the other guide pages I have made up for you (and everyone else interested) to learn more about Dizzywood.

Hopefully you’ll feel comfortable very quick, and make many new friends as you explore! Have fun around the ‘Wood.
