## Where to Go Next
Welcome to Evennia! Your new game is fully functioning, but empty. If you just
logged in, stand in the `Limbo` room and run
@batchcommand tutorial_world.build
to build [Evennia's tutorial world](../Howto/Starting/Part1/Tutorial-World.md) - it's a small solo quest to
explore. Only run the instructed `@batchcommand` once. You'll get a lot of text scrolling by as the
tutorial is built. Once done, the `tutorial` exit will have appeared out of Limbo - just write
`tutorial` to enter it.
Once you get back to `Limbo` from the tutorial (if you get stuck in the tutorial quest you can do
`@tel #2` to jump to Limbo), a good idea is to learn how to [start, stop and reload](Start-Stop-
Reload) the Evennia server. You may also want to familiarize yourself with some
[commonly used terms in our Glossary](../Glossary.md). After that, why not experiment with
[creating some new items and build some new rooms](../Howto/Starting/Part1/Building-Quickstart.md) out from Limbo.
From here on, you could move on to do one of our [introductory tutorials](../Howto/Howto-Overview.md) or simply dive
headlong into Evennia's comprehensive [manual](https://github.com/evennia/evennia/wiki). While
Evennia has no major game systems out of the box, we do supply a range of optional *contribs* that
you can use or borrow from. They range from dice rolling and alternative color schemes to barter and
combat systems. You can find the [growing list of contribs
here](https://github.com/evennia/evennia/blob/master/evennia/contrib/README.md).
If you have any questions, you can always ask in [the developer
chat](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=evennia&uio=MT1mYWxzZSY5PXRydWUmMTE9MTk1JjEyPXRydWUbb)
`#evennia` on `irc.freenode.net` or by posting to the [Evennia
forums](https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/evennia). You can also join the [Discord
Server](https://discord.gg/NecFePw).
Finally, if you are itching to help out or support Evennia (awesome!) have an
issue to report or a feature to request, [see here](../Contributing.md).
Enjoy your stay!
