Preamble and Acknowledgment
The following words are mainly directed towards anyone born BEFORE 1985 and who still enjoys (and values) the pleasure of being given a manual with their favorite game. Also, people who have never heard anything of “Battletech” before in their entire life and yet ended up at MW:O are more than welcome to risk a look.

The following “Wall of Text” is aimed to provide you with an introduction to the world of MechWarrior Online and guide new players through their very first steps in the game. Unfortunately, the current game GUI is not very intuitive so this guide will help you understand this part of the game.

Hopefully, even “old dawgs” will learn one or two new tricks from reading this guide.

Important Tip  ''Protip-Boxes indicate USEFUL INFORMATION and are the PERSONAL OPINION of the author. The same applies for changes written in italic font.''

I'd also like to thank everyone within the MechWarrior Online (and other) communities who dedicate time to lend a hand to new players, guiding them through the very first (difficult) hours.

Also many thanks to the people who do the “datamining” after every patch. You are the people who deliver relevant, useful and sometimes amusing information. Without that information many chapters in this guide wouldn't have been possible. So “thank you” Sirs and Sirettes!

Finally, I want to say thank you to ”Weebz”/Mark P. a thousand times, for dealing with my faulty engrish and for taking the effort to enhance the readability flow of this guide a lot! It definitively wears your handwriting now mate!

Last but not least, I’d like to thank YOU! Yes, you, the reader of this guide! You gave me the drive to start and finish this guide in countless hours of my freetime! I'm very pleased that you found your way here and hope that you will enjoy it and find it useful.
