MUME Help

Index: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

ACCOUNTS


You may have only one account from which you can log in with your characters.

If you log in with your account name, you start the game in the menu.

You can create (for example, create Bilbo) new characters from here or play any of your existing characters.

You can see your account menu when logging into your account and typing list or when typing the command account anytime you play.

Below that list of your characters you will also see if one of your characters has unread mails.

You can also specify the sort order using account <sort>, where <sort> is one of alphabetic, custom, level, logon, race, side, or subrace.

You can change your account password with the pass command from the account menu.

You can also log your characters directly, without logging into the account first. If the account and the character have the same name, you can simply prepend a ! to the name (!Bilbo).

In case you still have old characters before accounts were introduced to MUME, you can add them via the add command (e.g., add Frodo).

The in-game command

Syntax:
  account import <player> aliases|colours|eqorder|spam|all
  account info <player>
  account [<sort>] [-- <info format>]
account import copies settings from one of the players in your account to your current character. Note that it will overwrite your current settings.

Use account info <player> to show information about another of your players.

The last variant lists the characters in your account.

You can specify custom list output using formatting strings according to help info format:

  > account -- %-15M str: %2S

Deleting your account

If you really want to delete your account and all the characters inside it, please file a request using the report command.

You will never be able to recover your account or the characters inside it if you do this.

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
