    "Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence - remember to train all three. No matter your choice of skills, you'll find them all useful."

    I put that one because I see so many early players leave particularly their Dexterity in the dirt, and then they find they can't hit stuff around 40-50ish.

    My typical load time is in the 10 second range so I barely have time to read them but you could consider putting a button that pops up somewhere randomly on the screen every 10 seconds which people with old beater rigs who take forever to load zones to get 100 xp per click.

    My 3 favorites:

    If Archers and Mages are around - keep them in front of you!
    While running away, don't show them your back!

    Healing skills are the most important skills of a skill tree, because without any health you are dead and you loose XP from your hard earned XP pool.

    Night Sight and Light is a good combination at night,
    but while mining keep Night Sight beside and only use Light to have nodes better in sight!

    You encounter a PvPer at low health from fighting a monster. Would you enter a Cowardly sneak to backstab, or Courageously allow your opponent to heal to full strength?

    Beware! Not all mushrooms are safe. Some may disorient, confuse or even attack you!

    Remember, Ghost can jump. It’s very useful to cross the bump!

    Maybe, "Remember, as a Ghost you can jump, this can be very useful if you have to cross a bump!"

    @Berek, I have to correct something:
    Night Vision and Light is a good combination at night,
    but while mining keep Night Vision beside and only use Light to have nodes better in sight!

    The spell is called "Night Vision", not "Night Sight", but the information is further important ;)

    You will lose experience if you die. Plan extra time to regain it.

    Stuck in a rut? Magical equipment may be the only thing you need to fight higher level enemies and become a higher level avatar.

    Please make 2 categories, as some information is more important for new players as others (for example: that /stuck will you get "unstuck" most of the time) and display these more often when adventure level < 10.
    Please make the information that the starting gear is utter crap and will let you die for no reason very prominent so that new players knew that they must replace this crap at earliest convenience.

    the starting weapon does crap all damage and buying anything from an NPC will be better but the rest of the gear can get you to high levels if you so wish. Can you do better? yes, but its not that crap

    When entering a Siege be sure to avoid the craters in the ground!

    Was just running through a Siege as per usual and got 1 shotted by projectile fire I certainly wasn't expecting. Thought the craters were just for aesthetics.
