NEWS


The news command lets you read important news about the game, as posted on News of Arda boards. You don't have to stand at such a board to use the news command.

Syntax:
  news [all|whole|next|[tail] <number>]
news displays the news board (like l board)
news all (or whole) displays the whole news board (like l w b)
news next displays the next unread message (like read next)
news <number> displays the message <number> (like read <num>)
news reset mark all news messages as unread
news tail displays the latest news messages
news tail <number> displays the <number> latest news messages
news catchup Mark all messages as read.
news catchup <number> Mark all news messages up to message <number> as read.
news catchup -<number> Mark all messages except the last <number> as read.

Make sure to read game news as it appears. They may contain important information and rule changes.

Example:

  > news reset
  > news catchup -12
  > news
News are archived after a RL year: these entries will not be listed in news and will be displayed last by news next. See help board for more information.

You can also receive the latest news via the RSS feed.

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.
