[ GETTING STARTED ]

>> Make sure you've registered for an account, and have confirmed your registration via e-mail
>> If you have not yet downloaded the new menu and wish to do so, follow the on-screen instructions
   and return to this manual when finished

  (After starting the client, use the arrow and enter keys to make a selection)
  (In older menus, click the arrow symbols ">" to make a selection)
> Choose "Options"
  (The "Navi Colors" display shows a preview of your navi, and will update when you customize
   the colors of your navi in-game)
> Choose the option that begins "BNO Server IP Address" and click "Download" in the dialog box
  (The above could take a bit of a while, and the game will seem frozen while it works)
> Choose "User Name" and enter the user name you registered with
> Choose "Password" and enter the password you registered with
> Toggle other options if you'd like, but it is advised that you keep the rest as-is until you
  get a hang of the game :)
> Choose "Main Menu" in the top right corner
> Choose "Connect"!
  (Please note that it may take up to ten minutes from the time of your registration confirmation
   for your account to be available. If you continue to have trouble after at least an hour,
   please feel free to request support from bnonline@decidel.net)
