IMMORTING RULES
There are many sections of the rules:
Please use Help "chapter1 - chapter9" to view them
Also there is help "intro" for an introduction to WIZ here.
#
INTRO
These are the incomplete rules that all HERO's and higher level
characters must follow, and obey. Failure to obey the rules that follow
will result in negative actions taken against you. These actions taken can
be anything from a slap on the wrist, to deletion of all your character(s) and
banning your site. So please don't make us (The GODS) have to take such
nasty actions towards you. If you think you did do something wrong, then
make sure to talk to a GOD, as soon as you can, or send a bug message if
there is no GOD on a the time. also be warned that ALL HERO's and higher
are subject to permanent logging, that is we put into a file every action
that you do on the mud. This is not a fun for us to do. We really don't have the
time to read through long useless game logs, to see if a player has made
an illegal action.
We do understand that you will make mistakes, but if you do please
leave a bug report. We will take a less severe action towards you, since you
had the guts to admit you made an error. If you do not leave a bug report
we WILL find out eventually, and when we see something wrong in the game_log
and there is no bug report to follow it up, then you are going to be given
the third degree! We will ask you questions about the situation, and we
expect the truth from you. And after the questioning the GODS will go into
confrence, and discuss the verdict. What we are saying is if for some reason you
think you are doing something that is not exactly stated in these rules, please
leave a bug report.
Another big part of being a HERO or higher which we will refer to as a
Wiz from here after, is the rules of playing a mortal character.
#
CHAPTER1
RULE 1: You are not allowed to play a mortal character, at the same time
your Wiz is on the game. We know that many people can play from the same
site at the same time, and there might be some players on from your site
while you have your Wiz on. In this situation we might ask you if you are
one of the players at your site. All we want is the truth, tell us who your
mortal characters are, and just do us the favor and play one at a time, Wiz
or mortal.
#
CHAPTER2
RULE 2: As a Wiz you are not allowed to take equipment or gold from mobs,or
anywhere else from within the game. If you are running a Quest then you can
either Load an object, if you have that command, or ask a higher level Wiz
to load you an object. If no one on the game has the load command, then you
can check the equipment room. There is usually items for quests lying in
there. But if the equipment room is empty, and there is no one on that can
load up objects. You must resort to only awarding the players with coins.
Further rules on quest making are elsewhere in this document.
#
CHAPTER3
RULE 3: As a Wiz you can not get any corpses for mortals when they die, BUT
there are some exceptions to this rule, if the player is level 10 or lower,
then you can retrieve the corpse for them for a price. The current market
price for corpse reterval is level dependent (1000) gold coins per level of
the character. If the player is of the level sugested above, but does not
have the money, you can still retrieve the corpse, but you MUST take a piece
or pieces of equipment that add up to the suggested retrieval price. If the
character is of the above mentioned level, and wants the corpse retrieved, but
have neither the cash to pay for it nor the equipment to add up to the suggested
price then they lose. Besides if a player can't afford that much, or doesn't
have enough equipment to pay off the debt, then they aren't losing much.
Another point to mention is that the MUDschool, VEGO-sub-issued equipment
does not count as equipment that can be used as credit towards corpse
retrieval fees. The reason being for this is that this equipment is free,
and can be regained in a matter of minutes.
see also "chapter3.1"
#
CHAPTER3.1
Part two of corpse retrievals:
If the character is level 11 to level 20 then you can retrieve the
corpse, but you MUST take a good piece of there equipment, this includes a
weapon that does 3d6 or more damage, any kind of armor that affects armor
class by -8 or more. Or any special magical item that has a special
procedure, or any piece of equipmeant that affects stats by plus two or more.
Besides the taking of the one piece of equipment, as mentioned above you must
also charge the player 10000 coins per level past level 10. An example of this
would be: Level 16 corpse retrieval...60k + a valuable piece of equipment. If
the player does not have the money then you need to take two pieces of equipment.
If the player does not the equipment then you must charge twice the price, that
is 20000 coins per level past level 10. Which would total 120k in our previous
example. If the player does not have the money or the equipment then as a Wiz
you can not get the players corpse.
see also "chapter3.2"
#
CHAPTER3.2
Part three of corpse retrievals:
If the player is above level 20 then the rules are as follows: You MUST
charge the player 100000 coins per level over level 20. Example: A 26th level
player would pay 100K times 6 (for being six levels above level 20th) and this
equals 600K in gold coins. Also you must take one of the players items, as
items are described above. If the player does not have an item worth taking,
then you have to charge the player twice the price he would normally pay. That
would total 1,200,000 coins. If the player does not have the money then you MUST
take 3 items. The best weapon he/she has, the best piece of armor, and the best
stat affecting piece of equipment. You can use the identify to find out what item
has the greatest affect. And finally if the player does not have either of the
criteria then you can not get the players corpse.
#
CHAPTER4
RULE 4: You are not allowed to tell players statistics.
This rule means that you, as a Wiz can not let another player know the
stats of anything. This includes any object, any mob, or any other players
stats. If a player wants to know stats on an item, tell the player to
either have a mage cast an identify spell on it, or have them buy an
identify scroll, and identify the item themself. If a player wants to
know how hard or easy a particular mob is then let them use the consider command,
or try attacking it. And if a player wants the stats on another player let them
ask the player themself. Also remember stats include if an item is cursed, what
level is needed to wield, or use the item, or what the item does. You can not
tell players any of this vital information, for it will corrupt the game play,
and it will also be unfair to others.
RULE 4a: Telling players information continued...
The only thing you can tell a player is descrete directions to a particular
area in the game. This means just general directions on how to get somewhere.
Example: Its out the west gate, or you need to go on the river, or something like
south of the dwarven village. Nothing to exstensive. Searching the world is part
of the game. As a player they must explore just as you did when you were a mortal.
You can tell the players the estimated level recommended for the area, this
information can also be found with HELP AREAS.
#
CHAPTER5
RULE 5: The rules about casting spells, or using skills.
As a wizard you can ONLY pick a gate/door etc for a player if and
there are no thieves on with that ability learned, or mages on that have a knock
spell learned. If you do pick or knock something for a player you must charge the
player 5000 coins. You may not pick a door if the key is available.
You are allowed to cast affective spells on other players. Affective
spells are spells like, Armor, remove curse, heal, detectinvis, and others
that affect a player directly, casting a fireball at an enemy is not
affecting a player directly! The prices for these spells are level dependent.
Costing 1000 coins per level of the player you are casting it on. All spells
have to abide by this rule except for healing spells which cost as follows:
CURE_LIGHT == 100 coins per level of player
CURE_SERIOUS == 500 coins per level of player
CURE_CRITIC == 2000 coins per level of player
HEAL == 10000 coins per level of player
Also you can not cast any spells on a mob. Unless given permission to use the
mob in a special quest.
#
CHAPTER6
RULE 6: Selling shop items to a player.
If a player wants you to buy an item for him, and he/she will pay you for
it you can. Example, the player is deep in the dump, and needs a few
potions of healing, and asks you to buy them, you can, BUT you must charge
twice the normal price. And do not purchase more than 5 items for an
individual player, you are not the home shopping network. If the player starts
to complain, you are given no option, but to say, and we quote "Next time you
are in town make sure you have enough to last. Or pay me now. Simple!"
Another thing to remember is that you can not load an item up and sell
it to a player, this is only if you have the load command. If the item is
not in the shop, then you can't buy it for them.
#
CHAPTER7
RULE 7: Rules on the Load command.
As a Wiz, if you have the load command, you can not load up mobs for
players, or load up objects for players, just because there isn't one in the
game at the time. The load command is for quest, or reimbursements. Not
just another neat command. Loading up all kinds of extra mobs, and
equipment will corrupt the games natural balance of power. The games has
items load up automatically in each zone, and there are limited items that
are to stay limited.
#
CHAPTER8
RULE 8: Rules on purge
You are not allowed to purge a players corpse, or any kind of equipment
lying around in the mortals world. Extra items hanging around in WIZ rooms are
an exception and can be purged. You can not purge anything that is in the mortals
playing world. As a mortal player can tap corpses or items and be rewarded so
purging stuff just interferes with a players opprotunity to get more experience
and gold.
#
CHAPTER9
RULE 9: Rules for Noshout, Ban, Echo, Force, Disconnect, Set, Pardon etc...
As a Wiz if you have any of the above mentioned powers, you are not to
use them at your own convience. The noshout should be used on a player that
keeps shouting, or keeps swearing (*we do have young players, lets respect
them*) or a player that keeps shouting insults or just keeps shouting when
a tell or gossip or auction could be used. A constant shouter should be
given a warning, and made aware of the gossip and auction, and tell
commands.
Banning a site should only be used if there is a bug with the player coming
from that site (and if this does arise LET US KNOW. We can deny that single
character access to the game. Instead of the whole site.) We have seen some sites
that are buggy, and will make the game crash if allowed on the game. A site can
also be banned if the player or players coming from the site are trouble makers,
or just mud crackers that just try to find bugs that crash the game. If you do
ban a site please leave a bug message as to why it was banned.
Echo should be used if you want to send an IMPORTANT message to all the
players currently on the game. DO NOT use echo as a short cut for shouting.
Example: Echo Short 2 minute shutdown, please save.
Echo A quest is in the making...watch for more info!
Freeze should only be used in extreme cases, where a player or if need
be a Wiz has commited a major offense, and you don't know what to do at the
time. Keep the player frozen until ALL the GODS are notified, and have
discussed the situation. Leave a bug report if you freeze someone, and
give a small reason why.
Disconnect should only be used if the player is stuck in the Void, or
if the player is very immature and is not worthy of playing this great
mud, a ban can usually follow a disconect.
Log should be used when ever there is suspicion that a player is cheating
in any way shape or form. When you log someone leave a bug message so we know
to check the players log file. Also leave a bug to let us know what is so
suspisious about the players actions.
Set should only be used if for some reason the player lost stats during
a crash or by a bug. Make sure that you use it with care, set is a very
powerful command. If you are not sure if you should set something on a
player, then please leave a bug message and all the GODS will discuss the
question together, and come up with a solution.

magenta (purple), BLACK, RED, GREEN, BLUE, CYAN, YELLOW (BROWN),
GREY, MAGENTA (PURPLE). Note that GREY actually appears as bright

#
MULTICLASS
You may gain in any of the four currently available classes for a great cost.
This cost isn't in gold, but time. It will take you more to gain in secondary,
tertiary, and a fourth level. The experience table for the respective class
will be multiplied. The secondary class will be the next easiest to advance in
the third the third easiest. Get the picture? I hope so.
You will not auto level anymore. Instead you will have to train at the guilds
for whichever class you want to gain in. This will not cost you any gold, but
as levels get higher the amount you'll need for a secondary level will be
outrageous. We have done this so people will group still.
#
CHANNELS GOSSIP AUCTION
We currently have the Auction and Gossip channels for your use. To use
them you must first subscribe to them. This can be accomplished by typing
respectively: gossip
auction
Once you have subscribed you can commincate with others on these channels
by typing gos <the text you want to gossip> or
auc <what your offer is for the item being auctioned>
I hope you enjoy these new commands.
#
TACKLE
You will tackle the person you specify, or perform something else if
you don't supply a person to tackle.
#
CHOKE
If you get frustrated choke someone. I guarantee a great stress relief will
be soon following.
#
UNDRESS
You can quickly remove someones clothes this way. Instead of having to use
the emote command. This can also be entertaining just typing "undress".
#
RECALL
It acts like a scroll of recall, but there is a percent it won't
work. Just try it and find out.
#
WIMP WIMPY
If you are always worried about dieing in combat, then use this for a little
security blanket. If you are wimpy you will auto-flee when your hit points
reach a designated point.
A NOTE TO THE WISE: Wimpy is not saved along with your characters after you
have quit the game. So please don't forget to set it if you want it on. It
will not, I repeat, NOT be set if you just log on.
#
"PICK LOCKS"
Thieves only.
For picking locks. Not all locks can be picked. Example:
> pick door
> pick safe
See Also : OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK, UNLOCK
#
TAP JUNK
If you have any undesirable items drop them then "tap" them. This will
reward you through experience gain or through a gain in gold. The usage
is as follows:
If I want to get rid a dagger on the ground----->
tap dagger
if I have a ring in inventory and want to get rid of it----->
drop ring
tap ring
#
SPLIT
When in a group it is sometime desirable to "split" the gold between your
party memebers. If this is the case then you can use the split command
to make this easier. The usage is as follows:
the gold from the corpse was 1243---->
split 1243
#
TICK WAITING
Instead of saying how long you want to wait before you begin journeying once
again you can type "tick <# of ticks you want to wait>" An example of this
follows:
If I have about 8 ticks till I am maxed I would type---->
tick 8
This will tell everyone in the room that you want to wait for 8 more ticks.
#
SNEAK
Thieves Only.
Used for sneaking (moving in and out of rooms without any mob/player taking
notice).
When you type sneak, there is no way to know if you actually sneak. If you
sucessfully sneak, then you'll continue to sneak for a little while.
Example:
> sneak
See Also : HIDE
#
HIDE
Thieves Only.
When you type hide there is a chance that you hide in the room. If hidden
you can only be "sensed" by the "sense life" spell affecting a mob/player.
Even if sensed your identity will remain hidden. Hide is broken by
pressing return, regardless of wherther you typed a command or not.
Example:
> hide
Ok.
> (you wait for ex. 5 mins and remain hidden for 5 mins)
> (You pressed enter and no longer hide)
#
STATS
In the game each player has stats, the five basic stats are as follows.
They are Str (Strength), a players strength affects many things that the
player can do. First of all if you have a high strength you will do more
damage everytime you hit. Also with a high strength you will be able to
hit targets easier. Another thing that strength also helps, is the amount
of weight you can carry. Meaning a character with a high strength will
be able to cary more stuff in there inventory, than a character with a
lower strength. Strength is very help full to the warrior class, since
a warrior resorts to physical strength, rather than inner strength, like
a magic user, or cleric would use for there magical abilities.
Another stat is Dex (dexterity), a players dexterity is the amount of
agility, and quickness that a player has. This stat, when trained high
enough can help you to move quicker, and be able to dodge faster, and
therefore makes you a harder target to hit. Basically a high dex will
help you to obtain a better (lower) armor class. This stat is highly
used by most thieves, since they tend to be sneaky, and agile, and try
to be as quick as possable in there attempts to backstab, and steal. But
a high dexterity can help any player, with there armor class.
The con (constitution) is a very important stat to players, no matter what
class they wish to play. The constitution is really the way that your
body heals, and recovers. Its main use it to help the player obtain a
higher number of hitpoints every time they level. That is if you have a
high con stat you will gain more hit points with every level, and that
way you will become a stronger and more powerful character as you grow.
A high con, is a very good idea, since it will make your player stronger,
an therefore you will live longer, and have more fun.
The Wis (wisdom, and Int (inteligence) stats are usually in conjunction
with one and other. A high wisdom helps you to gain more mana for spells
each time you level, and the int will make you gain mana back faster each
time you rest. These stats are also used in helping your player gain
more practice sessions, and help you to learn skills, with the least
amount of sessions necessary to obtain (Superb) learning. The wisdom
stat can also help you with saving throws against enemy spells cast on
you.
Well these are your stats, and a brief explaination of how they help you
so when you train them, keep in mind there use, and practice the stats
that you think will help you build the best character you can, and have
fun playing Vego Mud.
#
LOOK
For studying your surroundings. Examples:
look
look AT the angel
look IN the bag
look to the south (or just: look south)
Note that if you LOOK AT CORPSE you will not see its inventory.
To see what's inside a container (e.i. Corpse) use LOOK IN <OBJECT>.
See also : EXAMINE or READ
#
AC ARMOR
Is your armor class. The armor class scale is:
100 Naked person
0 Very Heavily armored (Plate mail, and "two shields")
-100 Divine armor
#
OPEN CLOSE LOCK UNLOCK
Usage (example):
> open portal
or
> open portal to the south
(if there's more than one to choose from)
#
NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST UP DOWN
To walk in a given direction.
#
EAT DRINK SIP TASTE
If you're hungry or thirsty. Example: eat bread.
#
WHO
Lists the people currently in the game. Some people may choose to remain
unseen.
Who accepts various arguments, including level ranges and classes.
For example:
who 10 lists all players of level 10 or above
who 15 20 lists all players between level 15 and 20
who newbie lists all the players with levels from 1 to 3
who low lists all the players with levels from 4 to 9
who average lists all the players with levels from 10 to 19
who high lists all the players with levels from 20 to 30
who immortal lists all the players with levels from 31 to 35
who cleric lists all clerics playing
who cleric 1 5 lists all clerics between levels 1 and 5
To cut down on typing try who c 1 35. It acts sort of like a quick typer.
The 'c' is recognized as the class cleric.
#
GIVE
If you feel benevolent, you may give stuff to someone in need. Example:
give bread to the beggar.
#
SAVE
Save your persona. This includes experience points, strength, gold, etc.
Most equipment you may have gathered is saved (keys are a notable
exception).
#
STRING
For changing the text-strings associated with objects and characters. The
format is:
string <type> <name> <field> [<string> | <keyword>]
Type is either 'obj' or 'char'.
Field is one of the following(the names may be abbreviated):
Name (the call-name of an obj/char - kill giant)
Short (for inventory lists (obj's) and actions (char's))
Long (for when obj/character is seen in room)
Title (for players)
Description (For look at. For obj's, must be followed by a keyword)
Delete-description (only for obj's. Must be followed by keyword)
Where a string is expected as the last argument, a newline will make you enter
a string mode, and the game will prompt you for new lines to the string until
you exceed the maximum length for the string or you end a line with a '@'.
#
LOAD
For loading new objects or characters from the database. The format is:
load <type> <number>
Where <type> is either 'obj' or 'char', and number is the number of the object
or character you wish to create.

another character, no matter where that character is. GTELL tells
something to every character in your group, even if they are separated
from you. The semicolon ; is a synonym for gtell. SHOUT shouts
something to every character in the game. SHOUT costs half your mv to use.
Excessive use of shouting annoys other people and may get your SHOUT
ability turned off.
WHISPER and ASK are still more communication commands ... figure them
out yourself.
Examples:
shout Anyone want to group? Meet at fountain.
tell Riverwind I just found a bug.
gtell RECALL NOW!
; RECALL NOW!
say So do you play VEGO a lot?

you will come back where you left. If you are out of town, you will still
come back where you left, and you will lose some experience points as well.
This keeps you from getting free recalls back to town.
All your stuff will be saved when you quit. (In fact, quit automatically
does a save, so saving first is redundant).
There is now no need to kill your link instead of quitting. In fact,
link dying will be harsher on your character than using quit.

SHOPS
Shops are places where the adventurer may purchase equipment for his quests,
and where he may sell his treasure if he should manage to survive the perils
with his life and sanity intact. Many shops trade only in a specific type of
merchandise. Thus, a baker may well refuse to buy your armor, even if it is of
high quality!
To some people, the prospect of obtaining the entire inventory of a shop by
murdering the keeper may appear tempting - but beware: The shopkeepers are
often rugged, capable men; roughened by years of trading and, indeed, surviving
in a world where the only safe prospect is death in the end.

each player in the group, by using "group <player_name>". The leader
should remember to include himself in the group.

RESTORE
If used on a mortal, this command will reset that players mana and hit points.
If used on an Immortal various values will be reset to their proper values.
#
LINK
A lot of players have problems with their links to the game. This could
hurt you in combat. But we have worked out a solution. There are two cases:
I. If your link is broken, you will automatically attempt to flee each
time someone attempts to hit you. If you manage to flee, then you
will be saved by divine forces, and put in a safe place until you
reconnect to the game.
II. If your link jams (freezes) you got a problem. The only solution we
can give, is that you break your link as quickly as possible. By
breaking the link you can hope that the above procedure is initiated.
Some people like to break their link instead of quitting. We have changed
link death and quitting so that breaking the link will cost you more than
quitting.
#
COMPACT
If you have a small display you might want to use this command. It turns off
(or on) the extra newline after output to your screen.

AREA AREAS WORLD WORLDS
Warning: the suggested levels are just that, suggestions. Obviously
your chances of survival depend on the caliber of your group, how much
armor you have, whether you have a client program with auto recall,
and other things. If a mob kills you, don't blame us -- that's why
we have mobs. :)
