.DT Age $MUDNAME$ Player Help Age .SH Name .SI 5 Age - the length of time you have spent on $MUDNAME$ .EI .SH Description .SP 5 5 Your online age has little or no direct effect on the gaming experience on $MUDNAME$, however there are a few things you should know and remember. Characters on $MUDNAME$ get deleted when they have been idle (have not logged on) for a specific period of time. That time for characters younger than 1 day is 30 days. This means if you are younger than a day, and haven't logged on for over a period of 30 days, you character will be deleted. This is to avoid having to store data for players who probably won't return to the mud. For characters older than 1 day, the idle limit is proportional to their online age and is calculated by multiplying their age by 30. Characters that have not logged on for over 600 days will be deleted whatever their age might be. To know what your online age is, you can use the 'score' command. .EP .SH Example 1 .SP 5 5 A 4 hours old character will be deleted when he, or as it may be, she hasn't logged on for over 30 days (the minimum idle-out time). .EP .SH Example 2 .SP 5 5 A 2 days old characters will be deleted if idle for over 60 days (2*30). .EP .SH Example 3 .SP 5 5 A 14 days old characters will be deleted if idle for over 560 days (14*30). .EP .SH See also .SP 5 5 score .EP
