I forgot that my message in the Main Guild Chat regarding LS should be posted here so here it goes
Well, guys (any Gals as well? 
) of Our Great Clan!This is just a little step to point out the very basics of Ladder Slasher. It may seem a bit simple and Lunatic at the same time, but if you stick with it, it's pure fun! (At least for meh
)
So here is how to LS:
If you look at the right upper corner of your screen, you got; help, Photo Gallery, Hourly Raffle, and ... 'Play Ladder Slasher'
Just click on the link "play ladder slasher" (Make sure you got "Flash" installed, Click here to update:

You will now be in a Log in Screen, just enter your Login Name, Pass, and gold password (It's your d2jsp accountname+pass+goldpass)
(If you don't have a gold pass, just leave that field blank, but I suggest you go get a gold pass
)
Next you will be logged in to the main page were all your LS characters will be kept.
To make a new one, Hit the "Create" button"
You have 4 different chars to choose from in the beginning;
- Fighter
- Barbarian
- Rogue
- Magician
If it's your first time, I would suggest go for a melee character as 'Fighter' or a 'Rogue' if you wanna start a caster.
Choose a name and hit the button "create character" (Don't check the button "hardcore" on the right, it's like Diablo Rank Hardcore, once you die, you will loose everything unless you wanna have a go at it ofcourse, it will give you more GP'S if you pass
)
You will be redirected to your main screen and to play, just double Click on your new made character.
Next window, you will see (from left to right)
"
Market Place" --Where you can sell and buy items with your fg
"
Arena" -- here is where all the fighting will be done
"
Shrine of Mu'rakar" -- when you have an item that is useless to use or to sell, you can throw it in the Shrine to regen some life and mana
"
Ye Ol' Pub" -- it's some kind of chat system but it's hardly ever used
"
Well Of Evil" -- when you find a non magical items, you can try and toss it into the Well, but watch out, a strong monster will appear and when you can kill it it will drop a random magical+ items (not that the quality will be good, but there is a small chance it will)
"
View Ladder" Showing who's first and for each class it' shows the first 50 players of each class.
"
Transmutation box" if you find 2 items of the same Quality and item type and lvl for example; "Rare pixiesilk robe lvl 50" and " Arcane pixiesilk Robe lvl 50" you can try and put these into the Transmutation box to try and "craft" a better item.
"
Than you got a small space before you see "log out" -- here is where the MasterQuest Icon will appear when you hit lvl 71 , Master Quest is a game of luck and If you pass you will be able to reroll your character into a new class, if you pass all MQ's with all unlockable classes you will reset the ladder.
"
Log Out" -- pretty obvious It logs you out of that char and will be back in main Character screen.
Well how your character should be made and what to wear is explained in this guide for Melee characters made by MaryJuana:
