ACCOUNTS

You have 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 sort the characters by: side, race, level, alphabetic, or logon. Just type account <field> to do so.

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|all
  account info <player>
  account [<sort>]

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. <sort> is one of alphabetic, custom, level, logon, race, or side.

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 free to play and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
