 To set new players on the right track when starting to play the game, The Reincarnation provides [[Beginner%27s_guides|dedicated WIKI pages]]. They give suggestions on how to spend the first 120 turns, and help you familiarise with the game controls, while preparing you somewhat for the unprotected game play after turn 120.
 == Troubleshooting ==
 If you have trouble logging in to The Reincarnation, while other web pages can be accessed like always, it is possible that The Reincarnation's servers are very busy and unable to support more players at the moment. You should continue attempting to log in until you succeed or you wait for a while and try again after some time. This is an imperfect world, and from time to time our servers will be down. The volunteer developers/admin team is generally alerted to this almost as soon as it happens, and will work to have the servers up and running as soon as possible if trouble occurs.

 Our administrators can decide to reject access to our servers - usually when you are suspected from breaking game rules, such as 'only play one mage on each server'. Email is the only remaining way of contacting the admins.
-===Your entry has expired===
+=== Your entry has expired ===
 You may receive a message reading ‘Your entry has expired’ every now and then when you are playing the game. This indicates that your 'cookie' information has expired, which effectively means you are logged out. You can simply log in again and thereby refresh the 'cookie'. Generally, this message will only appear once in while, when you are online for a long time. Occasionally you will receive this message several times, indicating that the server is too busy for you to be able to re-enter. In this case you should try to log in at a later time.

 == Creating a New Mage ==

 After you gain access to the forum, go to the main page and create a mage on the server(s) of your choice. A new mage is created by giving it a name and selecting a color. But what server to pick?

 You can only ever have one mage on a server at any given time, but you are welcome to play more than one server. Indeed, many true TR addicts play all servers. If you play multiple servers, you may find playing the same colour on all or most of them helps you learn that colour faster. Playing different colours on every server is challenging, even for veterans.
