A guide to a newcomer's most frequently asked
questions...
How do I communicate with other players?
There are three basic ways to communicate on the Realms
of Chaos MUD. The first is to use the say command. When
you say something, your message will be heard by everyone
in the room you are in. The second way is to use a tell
command. This allows you to send a message to any player
on the mud (try typing "who") by simply typing
"tell whatever". The third way is to communicate
on channel. This will broadcast your message to anyone
on the channel you are speaking on, IE "newbie whatever"
would broadcast the message 'whatever' to everyone listening
to the newbie channel. All guilds and races have their
own channel as well.

What commands do I have?

To see commands related to your race, try "racecmds".

How do I join a guild?
You must find a guild hall. There are several guilds on
RoC. Fighters, Monks, Mages, Rangers, Clerics, Rogues,
Kataans, Necromancers, and Psionicists all have a guild
hall in Krenlock. However, finding these halls may prove
to be a task within themselves. Grab a map of the city
from the church where you start and "look map"
to start exploring.

How do I check my health?
Try typing "report". For a health and limb check
type "report /b". If you prefer to have your
health information in your prompt, try typing "prompt
on" and it will be enabled on your next login.
<< Return to Top
How do I advance in levels?
You must accumulate the necessary amount of experience
points for the next level. Use the "exp" command
to discover how many experience points you have left.
The amount which is 'free from last' is used to train
skills, mentioned below. Experience is gained primarily
through combat, but can also be rewarded for successful
completion of a quest or deed.

How many levels are there?
There is no maximum level on RoC. However, the highest
level any player has ever attained is 77.
<< Return to Top
What are skills?
Skills are critical to unlocking classcmds and improving
existing commands. To train them, you must spend experience
free from your last level. Type "skills" to
see your existing skill levels. Type "skills cost"
to see how much it is to train one point of any particular
skill. While in your guild hall or at the adventurers
hall (2 north from church), you may train your skills
by typing "train ". For example, "train
conjuring 250" would train conjuring 250 points,
assuming that skill is trainable by your class.

What are stats?
Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma, Stregnth, Wisdom, and
Intelligence. You start with a base amount at character
creation which you roll for. Stat points increase core
abilities as they rise. Items which increase stat points
are rare but do exist. You have the opportunity to raise
one stat by one point permanantly each time you level.
Type "saystats" to see yours at any time.
<< Return to Top
What are quests?
Quests are orders you receive from your guild hall. Though
it is rare, there are times when you must quest in order
to advance.
<< Return to Top
What are deeds?
Deeds are essentially quests found outside your guildhall.
There are literally hundreds of deeds and it is up to
you to discover them for yourself.
<< Return to Top
How big is this world?
The world is huge. Currently over 15,000 rooms in size.
A merger is planned with the rooms of a development lib
which will increase this to close to 20,000 in the near
future. This will likely be in the form of a new continent.

What is a good area to kill in?
You are likely to find them as you go along, but as a
newbie, you are probably best entering the "newbie
forest" just west of town. It includes many monsters
that are excellent experience for your level and a guard,
Jennifer, who prevents higher level mortals from entering.
You get a 10% bonus on the sale price of everything sold
at Bob's, so make sure you find him inside. Also included
in the newbie forest is a nearby newbie desert, a tree
full of elflings, a mother who keeps all of her brood
in a shoe, and several other items of enticement... including
a baby copper dragon which you may be fortunate enough
to kill!

How do I tell how strong a monster is relative to me?
Glad you asked (: You can always "query ". IE,
if you are thinking about attacking an orc in the room,
try "query orc" and a number will be returned
to you. Anything over the number 1, and it may be too
strong. Anything that queries a 2 is twice as strong as
you are, and so on and so forth.

What is Player Killing?
Player Kiling, also known as PK, can be legal on RoC,
but only under certain guidelines. While in the game,
type "help pk" for all the details.
<< Return to Top
What is a High Mortal?
A High Mortal is any player who has attained the level
of 30. High Mortals are afforded private quarters and
new commands, as well as the highest stature in the game.
<< Return to Top
What is an Immortal?
An immortal is a member of RoC's staff. Immortals build
the world, maintain the lib, and improve the mud quality.
