The interface
To help you in your quest, You have a set of tools put to your disposition:

The Dashboard

1: Status gauge
All of these bars will refill at a set rate over time.  If you are an upper class player, your energy refills faster.

• Your health meter is in green and it will decrease as you participate in combat. When it turns red you have less than 40% left so you should purchase a health pack in one of the shops!
  
• Your Energy meter is orange and you will need energy to commit crimes, train your stats, and participate in combat.
• It can be refilled by using eboosts.
• Endurance is in blue and this is similar to energy except it is depleted slower.  You need both energy and endurance to perform crimes, attacks, and training
• It can be refilled with iodine pills or eboosts.
  

2:  Stats gauge:
This gauge represents a players trained stats and their modified stats with equipped weapons

• Strength:  The more you have, the more damage you can do
• Agility:  The faster you are, the less you will receive damage in combat
• Vitality:  Higher your vitality, the more HP you will have
• Damage:  A combination of your strength and your weapon
• Speed:  A combination of your agility and your speed modifying item equipped
• Defense:  A combination of your strength and your armor
• GUT:  You use these points to commit crimes which will increase your experience points and add some cash to your wallet.  You run the risk of getting caught and ending up in jail though!

When an item boosts your stats, you will see it in the color green.  Legendary weapons that can be purchased have the greatest effect of enhancing your stats and will offer you an extreme advantage over the competition!
 

3: General area

• The level gauge indicates how much more experience you need to increase your level.  As your level increases you gain access to new cities, increased cap on your stats, and increased points for training and crimes.
• The mail indicator will flash red when you have received a new message.  Make sure you clear your inbox every week because too much mail will result in you not being able to receive messages!
• The pill indicates the amount of eboosts you are holding.  These pills can be used to instantly refresh your energy, training points, guts, and endurance!  They can only be purchased or won in the auction screen.  This is the quickest way to increase your level and statistics.
• The icon representing 2 people is for your watch list.  Here you can see a quick list of people you either want to speak with or people you just plain want to attack!
  
• Your inventory list shows you when you are coming close to running out of room.  You can only hold 200 items at a time, so make sure you monitor what you hold.  Keep this in mind, as you can find items downtown and not be able to receive it because you had no room!. 

4:  Notification box
Look here for the most recent activity regarding your account.  If you were attacked, withdrew money, or received an item it will flash red and catch your attention. 

5:  Message Area
The message bar will keep you up to date on site-wide announcements, gang announcements, hospital and jail time.  Make sure to check it often. 

6: Location bar
The current location of your character.  Not a lot to say about this one!  Click on your name here in order to get into the edit profile screen. 

7:  Map icon
The map represents the vast wastelands of this futuristic apocalypse! You can crawl your way from city to city as long as you have enough water to make it.  If you are lucky enough to have gotten yourself a ride, make sure you have plenty of gas as well as water!  Each city offers you new shops with items that can only be found in hard to reach places.  When you purchase an upper-class pack, you can visit hidden cities only viewable by the elite few!!! 

8: Shops icons
The shops are the best place to purchase everything from gas to razor plated armor!  Bring cash and buy up all you need to ensure your continued survival in this abysmal wasteland. You can even buy a car in the right cities.  Remember, new cities have new items to buy! 

9: Downtown 
Downtown is the place to be!  Entertainment and debauchery await you as you have the opportunity to either make or break the bank.  Some activities downtown are limited to once a day, others you can do anytime.

• Enter The Bar:  VIP status only!!!  In the bar you can discuss the dirty happenings in the chat box.  Pissed at somebody for looting you but don't have enough stats to beat them : put a bounty out on them and pay for someone else to do it!  Don't forget the black market for the *ahem* hard to get items.
• Group Bets:  Up to 5 people can wager their hard earned loot in a random chance game.  Be prepared to get rich or go broke trying!
• Hammer The Nail.  A game of chance that is played sequentially one player at a time.  It is a game of strategy that requires you to time your hit so that you are the final person to drive it in.  Just watch out you don't hit your thumb accidentally!
• Lottery Ticket:  Feeling lucky punk???  A couple hundred bucks can get you a ticket, but winning is totally random.  Good luck...
• Scorpion game:  Since guns are scarce to come by in the future, the new Russian Roulette is played with venomous scorpions instead of bullets!  Make sure you are sure of hand as you attempt to lift the cup that DOES NOT contain the scorpion.  If you win--> BIG CASH.  If you lose-->have fun in the hospital :-)
• Slot Machine:  Easy...put the cash in and pull pull pull!  Win big on a daily basis.  50 pulls a day are allowed.
• Public Information:  Here you can see who is on top of the game!  100 players with the highest stats, money, and everything else that can be measured are displayed.  Here is a good place to see who is walking around asking to be looted :-)  You can also contact staff and moderators here.

10: Auction Market 
This is the market that allows players to place their items to the public and attempt to make a profit.  There are a few rules that apply:

• Prices are capped, and you can't start a sale for more than 25% of the retail value of the item
• Some items are NON tradable.
• You can set auctions from 1h up to 24h.
• You can leave the auction price open or set a buyout price. If the auction goes over the buyout price, good for you!
• You must have room in your inventory if you want to purchase items through the market. You can lose your winnings if you don't have room for them
• You receive your items within one hour following the result of the auction. This is due to administrative processes running to fulfill your winning bid.
• A 10% fee is applied upon creation of the auction, returned to you if you successfully sell your item, if you cancel your item, the fee is not returned.
• A 5% fee is taken from the buyer for each bid won.
