I don't think anyone reads it. You've probably had over 2,000 registrations and this is the email that gets sent out:

Helpful links:

Our online FAQ is located at
http://game.planetarion.com/manual.php?page=34 and is helpful if you have problems loging in.

We now have a hefty "Online Help" section located at http://game.planetarion.com/manual.php?page=32, and
a basic startup guide and terminology section (for those who haven't played before) at http://game.planetarion.com/manual.php?page=5.

If you're confused by all the terminology, there's a larger terminology section at
http://www.clawofdarkness.com/pawiki...ry:Terminology .

In addition to our portal (http://www.planetarion.com) and our forums (http://pirate.planetarion.com), we also have many other community sites, some of which
are listed at http://www.planetarion.com/manual/ma...nityresources/.
Many people find the "Battle Calculators" in particular useful for simulating combat before attacking someone.
All of the manual page links go to the wrong pages, the community resources page is dead, the PAwiki link points to a page which isn't working (it is out of your control though).

I think it's fair to say that nobody reads it, not even to check. The last thing you want to do is read that boring email full of text when you've got your password, you just want to login and check the game out.
