Seeing a goodly number of new faces about, I wanted to offer a friendly welcome, but also point out some great resources (to everyone, including the existing playerbase that has forgotten about them!)
Mele worked really hard to put together a superb group of HOWTOs for the game. You can find them here:

They are the authoritative word on a bunch of things, and also tell you how to interact with the staff on a great many things. There's also a list of what you can do to contribute to the MUD we love!
In-game, Aveline and I work hard to make the helpfiles...helpful! There's always more to do, though, and things change under our feet all the time because Mask is always making improvements! If you find a helpfile deficiency, please report it to the Bug Reporting forum, just as you would report anything else you find wrong with the game. We are working toward integrating all "fix needed" reporting under one roof, and assembling a cohesive team of people positioned to handle anything that might be reported there. (A quick note of explanation: you will not see your post to the Bug Reporting forum, because new postings there need to be approved. We did that so that people could use that forum to report sensitive bugs, like those describing quests and giving away other IC information, like who plays what alt! Don't worry, your post will be seen by our sorters, who will route it to the appropriate spot where it can be seen again, if does not contain sensitive information or if it can be edited out.)
It's great to be part of an active and vibrant community; I hope you feel most welcome and enjoy yourselves!
