There are three main pages on the main site:
This is the map page. There is a 10 x 11 array of hexagonal spaces displayed on the left. Each space can be water (ocean) or land (mountains or forest if not owned). Owned land will contain some something on it, which will be indicated by a graphic. To the right, at the top, is a movement navigation area, comprised of seven hexagonal spaces, six with arrows and one (in the center) blank. The arrows indicate movement in the indicated direction and the center blank space takes you home. On the right below the movement navigation area is a discription of the current space and if the space is buildable, a tabbed set of build options. Normal users cannot 'walk on water', but it is possible to build bridges and it is also possible to build teleports to travel instantly to 'distant' locations. You can only teleport to another teleport.
Users start out with 100 credits, which can be used to build things and thus take ownership of spaces. Users 'earn' credits when other users land on spaces they own (eg rent is collected). Also when a user teleports into another user's teleport, the incoming user 'pays' the owner of the teleport.
When you are on someone else's space you can chat (if they are online) or send email (if they are offline). You can visit their profile if you are on their home sector. You can also visit their profile if you are friends from your profile page and you can chat or send email to someone when you are visiting their profile.
This is your profile page. Your profile is displayed and you can edit your profile. Other users can visit your profile page and issue a 'Friend' request.
This page just displays the Site About Text that the adminstrator can enter.
The Admin user gets an additional link to the Admin pages, which are pretty self-explainitory, but here is a brief explaination: there is a side menu (on the left), which is broken up into four sections:
There are three links here:
The main Admin page. This page contains basic site stats: the number of users, the number of santuaries available and the counts of each type of sector.
The main site home page. This is the map page, described above.
Admin's Profile page, where the admin user can optionally edit his or her profile.
There is one link here:
The two main content settings can be set here. The two settings are the Site title and the Site About Text. The site title appears at the top of every page and the Site About Text appears on the About page.
There are two links here:
Presently this has nothing on it (it is for future use).
This has a setting for the leaderbar advertising space. Typically, this would hold HTML code that implements advertising, such as a rotating banner or something like Adsense.
There is one link here:
This go to a page with the user list. New users can be created and existing users can be edited or viewed in detail.
