TerraMUD's central purpose (it's Holy Grail) is simple and manyfold:
|
All other benefits are merely icing on the cake - it is a GAME, after all.
TerraMUD X uses a modified standard download Mordor codebase. The DM here has been working away at this codebase for a couple of years now. The geography of X is being modified to increase interest of gameplay, return balance to the game and contains NONE of the added areas from previous terraMUDs. The core of X is St Joe's - a scary but familiar territory (post-apocalypse Terrace Campus) with many areas branching from there.
X Newbies are confined to a College Campus grounds until experienced and trained sufficently to enter the outside world (just like real life really) but there is a variety of places to visit, interestingly described new monsters to kill (or be killed by) and a lot of new useful gear to collect on your journey.
You begin your journey at X Reception in St. Joe's and move out from there to explore the school campus. This geography will be familiar to terracites as it matches the physical layout of the school grounds - use some common sense and you will not get too lost. Many new areas are being designed (you will see their exits as 'blocked' currently) to enrich an already complex world. Significant modification of existing rooms has been undertaken to bring about balance to game play.

Rules here are as simple as possible.
-
This is a GAME, you are here to have fun - play elsewhere if that is not your aim.
-
Each person should have NO MORE THAN 2 characters on at once please. It is NOT ok to sell or share characters!
-
Bullying is NOT OK - report it then something can be done about it!
-
Spoiling is telling other players where things are, giving other players stuff they did not earn themselves or generally interfering with the game-play of others - Do not spoil please. It interferes with game play and makes players lazy and dependent on handouts.
-
If you choose CHAOTIC play then you accept that other players can kill, steal and generally mistreat you.
There is limited DM support on this MUD - they are not there for handouts - do not ask for them. Jail and player deletion are punishments for characters that consistently do the wrong thing. Full discussion of the rules of this MUD are contained in the TOMES housed in the Library upstairs from Duhig Place on level 4 - you know where to go. Ignorance is NO defense. MUDmail wonko if you wish to be changed from Chaotic to Lawful, but no other stat changes will be granted so do not ask. |

When you first connect, type set ansi to turn on colour display - it makes things easier to see. You have 12 classes and 13 races to choose from, you get to choose your starting stats (remembering each class and race combination has advantages and disadvantages), 6 weapon proficiencies, 4 realms and other things as you create your character. You can retire a character (to permanently delete it should you want to start over). When all else fails, consult to Newbie Guide. Look at monsters before you kill them, talk to them - many know useful things. Your only way out of St. Joes is to train to level 4 - all the facilities necessary to train to level 16 in each class are on campus somewherefor you to discover. Many of the new monsters in St. Joe's know important things, some even can sell you useful items. Engage your senses and take time to have a chat. |
