Greetings Jumper,

After checking the toolbar links, be sure to visit each mod’s forum and look for the server rules. In those you will almost always find out how their TAGS are used. Tags help you identify the server Admins and Police, who generally help out any new players on the server with tips and such. Don’t rush into joining a clan right when you first step into the server; get to know the players and clans before making an informed choice. Explore a bit and see if it’s the right mod for you. I really haven’t run across a mod I didn’t enjoy though. Remember that these servers have their own communities, so forum use helps get to know players there as well, and can get you help starting out / discovering the mod.

*** Be sure to visit the Player Tips section here on The Starport for further notes on how to install mods, and Global Server workaround.
