So you've decided you're interested--at least, interested enough to connect and learn a little more about this Chiaroscuro thing. If you're already familiar with telnet and MU* style games, go ahead and skip on to the sub-section titled "First Connection". If you're not, read on to find out how to connect to the game. So here's how you fire it up. Click on "Start" and select "Run". Now type in "telnet.exe" without the quotes, and hit the enter key. Poof. It should pop right up for you, looking a little bit like the command prompt--but don't worry, you can't break anything from here.
