CHANGE WHOIS, WHOIS


This command gives you some information about a player. You can see his race, his class and level (unless he is INCOGNITO), his self-supplied description, roughly from which part of the (real) world he is playing and about how long he was last seen on MUME.

Members of the good races can't see whether a certain minion is playing, nor viceversa.

Example: while playing a Dwarf, you would see…

  > whois frodo
  Frodo is a level one Hobbit Apprentice.
  Last login 2 hours ago from *.edu
  > whois trix
  Trix the Wabbit is a level forty-eight Mountain Troll Warrior [Retired].
  This silly old Wabbit once wandered all over Arda: from Rivendell, to Bree,
  thru wittle Hobbiton, and all the way to GreyHaven.
You can change the text shown on your whois by typing change whois. What you can write there is subject to certain rules: see rules whois.

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.
