⚔ Crimson Protocol BBS · game rules
Short version: be cool, explore, quest, and tell us what's broken. Long version below.
mugenmud.net port 2374. Chill, break, suggest, and submit content before Season 3. No player-vs-player.
The lawless route. The players police the realm themselves.
Same world, same content. Choose your contract.
Death takes you at −25 HP on PVE. Plan your retreats.
Learn the DRAG command: drag <playername>. Save your dumb friend who went into a tyrannosaur pit alone.
The PVE beta carries sys go and sys map. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat.
Season 3 will have SYS GO too, but it will cost coin. No coin, no go.
The Lawful option is enabled on PVE for those going the good route immediately.
On PVP there is no Lawful option, and no capping your evil points: setep max is PVE-only.
Reroll on PVE and all your EP is forgiven.
Season 3 will have an experience quota to qualify for a dupe, similar to Paradigm but not the same, to keep the class spread healthy and limited items fairly distributed.
The MugenMUD server has built-in IP tracking per account and per character, and an IP ban list. We know there are ways around that for the heavy sweaty players. Let's not make that a thing, and have a good time.
Gossip flows freely. Don't want to hear it? Type gossip to switch it off.
Offline 48 hours from a scripting location and someone else moves in? It's not "your spot."
Regen is cranked to support multiple groups. Make your own loops with polite attacks and nobody hurts for exp.
Venture off the beaten path and you'll find higher-exp mobs tuned for your level range that are not in the MugenMUD MegaMud package. Make your own paths and loops and be rewarded.
Skill and item-stock quests come with hefty exp boosts. The High Druid and Ice Sorceress quests are worth 150,000 exp each, and there are many more.
No relic collecting dust: fast bug fixes, steady evolution, and a Sysop who listens to player feedback.
Forgive me if I get defensive on bad criticism. I try not to, but I still take it to heart and to the drawing board, even if I give rebuttals.
