		+	== Revamp! ==
		+
		+	I noticed this page was very heavy to read, just a long block of text... So I've made some changes.
		+
		+	* Things were already in some sort of order so adding sub-headlines splits it into digestible chunks and readers will also know what to expect.
		+
		+	* If there are no events when the player first logs in, he won't know what to expect. So an example of an event makes the subject easier to approach. The first thing a player will note is the lack of names so this needs to be addressed straight off the bat, as well as the absence of NPCs. Otherwise the player will be confused.
		+
		+	* Once it has been specified that all characters start out as unknowns, we go into naming. Dynamic naming is pretty unique to Cantr so it needs to be specified that no one else sees what you call people. This paragraph used to be lower in the article.
		+
		+	* Private talking wasn't covered by the article in the past but I brought it up because newbies often tend to whisper to everybody. It's possible that they have never seen anyone else whispering yet, so they can't realize that what they're saying is invisible to everyone but the target.
		+
		+	* Staying in character: People without a roleplaying background might not know what in character means, well, they can click on the roleplaying link but now they can also get definition of OOC and a couple of examples for what you should not say in the game.
		+
		+	* Copying notes was outdated, people might notice the copy button but be afraid to use it because the wiki talks about picking up the notes before copying them (we saw this on the forums).
		+
		+	* People will want to know how to take things and since it's not required for the note example anymore, it can be taken to a general level.
		+
		+	* The rest of the article is unchanged save for a couple of sub-headlines.
		+
		+	* To do: I think we should have the images float to the right because it disrupts reading when the picture is on it's own line.
