Frequently Asked Questions Why can't I see anything? -Your character starts with a light, either a torch or a lantern. Type 'equipment' to see whether you are holding it, and 'hold torch' if you are not. If you need another, torches and lanterns are sold in shops. See 'help light'. I'm naked! How do I get clothes? -Your character starts with clothes picked in character generation. Type 'equipment' to see what you are wearing. How you look to other people is mostly your description, which you write yourself without any need for equipment. To learn how to write a good one, see 'help description'. To wear and remove things, see 'help equipment'. Why can't I kill that chicken/cow/thief/Lord of the Tower? -You can! Combat is turn based, and you can fight NPCs as well as other players. Pick a blow (slash, thrust or unarmed) and a target, and the fight begins. See 'help combat' for all the commands and settings. What do you mean by "RP"? -A Moment in Tyme is a Roleplay-intensive MUD, which means that while we have most of the standard functions of a 'regular' MUD, our focus is on Roleplay, specifically within the Wheel of Time setting. See 'help roleplay' for what RP means and a list of helpfiles about how RP works around here. What's the Wheel of Time? -The Wheel of Time is a fantasy series written by Robert Jordan (and finished by Brandon Sanderson). If you haven't read the series, that's ok. You might find it a little challenging to understand some of the world- specific details, but there is a wealth of information online to help fill in the gaps, or, of course, our Visitor's Guides, Immortals, and friendly players will help answer any questions you have about the setting. See 'help wheel of time'. How do I talk to people? -We have a multitude of chat channels that you can use to communicate, as well as private messaging and mudmail. The channel names are all displayed out to the left of any channel you see, and they're all colorcoded, but the ones to know at first are OOC and Newbie. Just type 'ooc <text>' to talk to the MUD community or 'newbie <text>' to communicate with the Visitor's Guides and Immortals. To send someone a private message, type 'tell <name> <text>'. Mailing is as simple as 'mail <name>'. See 'help channels'. How do I know who is online to talk to? -Type 'who' to see the list of characters currently online. See 'help who'. I want a nifty long listing on the 'who' list! -Type 'title <text>' to change the way your name reads on the 'who' list. Checking 'help color codes' will tell you how to change the colors in your title or anything else you type. See 'help title'. I want to be a Warder/Asha'man/Hornhunter/damane/Aes Sedai. How do I do that? -Our associations are set up into Guilds which each have their own requirements to be accepted. Type 'template list' to see the list of our Guilds, then 'template show <#>' to see the things a Guild requires in order to bring you into its ranks. 'GLList' will get you a full list of the Guilds and their Guildleaders. See 'help guild'. I think I made my character wrong. Do I have to start over? -While you are welcome to go through character generation again, any Immortal would be happy to help outfit you with the skills and talents you may have missed. Typing 'wizlist' will show you full list of Immortals. See 'help immortals'. What can I do to help? -If you would like to help with our building efforts, send a mudmail to Ayasha. If you would like to help with our coding efforts, send a mudmail to Duren. See 'help mail' for how to send mudmail. None of this answered my question(s), so what now? -Our helpfiles are quite extensive and can be found both online at our website tymemud.com and right here in game by typing 'help <topic>'. Specifically the 'help newbie' file is a good place to start. And as always our Visitor's Guides, Immortals, and friendly players will be happy to answer any questions you have about the game. See 'help newbie'. See also: FAQ2 |
