Design screw-up
All the individual items in the equipment pages start with an/a. We really should simplify it and remove those initial articles from the items. Is this possible?
Abandon
[Instant Command]
If you are leading a mount, this command will make it stop following you. The mount will remember its previous rider, so you can resume leading it by typing "lead". If you abandon your mount but remain in the room with it, others will not be able to lead it away. They can, however, ride the mount and then control it out of the room.

This text is mainly for players who have already played other muds, and want to skip some of the basic help text. However, since many MUME characteristics are unique to it, you are advised to read the newbie help information anyway. This page is also useful as a quick memory reference for new players.
An example of a command that is very different in MUME than some other muds is how quit works, this difference can be quite a shock if you didn't read FAQ2.

Age
Age affects a character's statistics according to the following table. The change is linear and gradual between the various age brackets; so, the age modifier for strength becomes 0.5 at age 21 (midpoint of 18 and 24). Statistics are also affected by other factors, and they are displayed rounded to the closest integer.

Your initial age depends on your base statistics: characters more suited to the life of a warrior start out younger; those more suited to spellcasting begin adventuring at an older age.
Aging rate depends on races (see help races for more information). Ages shown in the previous table refer to Men (excluding Dúnedain); for other races the following table applies.
Factor | 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th | Race
-------+-----------------------------------+----------------------------
1.0 | 18 24 32 40 50 65 90 | Man (Other), Bear
1.5 | 27 36 48 60 75 97 135 | Man (Dúnadan, Númenórean),
| | Hobbit
2.0 | 36 48 64 80 100 130 180 | Half-elf, Dwarf, Orc, Troll
2.5 | 45 60 80 100 125 162 225 | Elf (Silvan)
3.0 | 54 72 96 120 150 195 270 | Elf (Sinda)
3.5 | 63 84 112 140 175 227 315 | Elf (Noldo)
You may also be affected by the aging condition. It makes you age to ancient (past 7th age) quickly and ensures that you remain that way for a while. See also: RACES, ANCIENT
