Wheel of Time MUD

Some code changes went live after the last reboot: Fade Skill Long ago fades were given a bonus reduction to the duration of their fade pulse timer based on their clan level/rank. As time has passed our resident fades have murdered and climbed the ranks to levels that have made the bonus more powerf...

Wait time in the Circle after a PK death has been reduced from 15 minutes to 5 minutes.

Have fun killing each other more quickly!

No way that's by chance

Yep, just bad luck (or good luck, if you wanted to flee that way 7 times).

The flee code is really simple: Regardless of the number of exits in your room, the code picks a random direction (n,s,e,w,u,d). If that exit is one to which you can move (it's an actual exit, it isn't blocked by a closed door, you aren't fleeing onto water, etc.) then your flee is successful. If no...

I am just catching up on this thread. I have already reported to Elysia and Vampa, and I wanted to report to the players, that I was the one who moved Dreadlord Jerioz to that room. I wasn't fully aware of the PK situation when I did it, and it was definitely not intended to have the effect it did. ...

The only character I will...
