Info from Demos. AstroMUD has been moved over to the Amazon AWS. During server migration, user files were copied over to keep everyone's progress up to date. There are a few hiccups that are being atended to, however, we encourage you to share any issues you find in the #general channel in Slack. In keeping with our west coast heritage, Astro is hosted in US-West 2 in Oregon.

Adele has logged in for beeing away quite a while.

In our next step to counterbalance some of the things that have gone wrong over the past period,
Demos and myself have undertaken the following actions against mortal characters. All these actions
are based on extensive review of the syslog.

Enkil - removed Knight
Dagda - removed Hero, rerolled gear back to earlier date.
Reign - unfrozen, removed Hero, rerolled gear back to earlier date.
Heretic - unfrozen
Missandei - unfrozen
Orton - unfrozen
Neerihs - perm frozen, char was not used by original owner
Dronester - removed Hero, rerolled gear back to earlier date.

The characters we decided to thaw out, were originally punished for duping equipment. We do believe they
have learned from their mistakes. The items they gained illegitimately were removed. They are on a final
warning. Further char sharing or duping will result in deletion of character.

Regards,
Saidin

2020-04-30

With Saidin's return, we have been taking a proactive step to addressing the concerns of balance
and trust within Astro. This will be a multi-faceted approach that we will iterate and evaluate as
time progresses. As mentioned, we will be working top-down on this to instill a level of trust within
the community. We cannot gain the trust of the community if our house is not in order; many of the
concerns originate from the immortal staff and corrective action is necessary. It is our goal to do
what is in the best interest of the mud, which we truly believe has been our guiding light;
unfortunately, missteps along the way require a pendulum swing to return to a level of normalcy.

We are making the following changes and re-communicating previous intentions that we are focusing on:

Champion: You've won the game and you should be proud of it. Current Champ equipment has not kept up
with the inflation of the game and needs to be corrected. We will be adjusting Champ eq such that
Champs are incentivized to wear their gear above all else.

Knights: When the rationale of knighthood gets mixed with the benefits received, people question the
position altogether. Knighthood was meant as a 'thank you' and not a status on par with Champion.
Knight eq surpasses Champ eq and will be adjusted back such.

Immortal levels should be categorized in two ways: retired and active mortals. Immortal characters with
active mortals should not be elevated in such a way that a conflict between mortal/immortal could arise.
It has not been the case over the past while and will be adjusted. Levels 53-54 are reserved for
immortals who wish to continue playing their mortals (at no time should an immortal ever get involved with
any mortal character for their benefit). 53-54's with granted commands will likely have them removed to
further help neutralize the temptations. Immortals at 55 and above will either have no mortal characters
or should play those mortal characters for the benefit of others, never themselves.

We have decided that our current staff will be retained without the removal of any imms, however, we feel
that the current positions need to be re-calibrated. I understand this will seem like a punishment to those
affected, but it is not our goal to convey that message. The current economy of the mud has instilled a
level of mistrust between the mortal/immortal world as well as amongst each other. Our intent to recalibrate
immortal levels is the first step towards regaining trust between ourselves, but most importantly, with the
community as a whole. Your actions going forward will dictate the long term direction your immortal
character will take, not your merits of the past.

For some, this will be met with positive light, while others might not feel the same. Please understand that
these changes are in the interest of the game and are the result of our history to date. We, as a team,
will help to drive Astro in the right direction. We welcome your feedback and are happy to work with you on
a plan moving foward.

Major scale events have happend, that will echo on for eternity: Navros/Tulkas self deleted???

Hero Navros

Navros/Tulkas has always been friendly and often got inovolved to help others with group kills.
This is a big loss for comunity, Navros please come back!
Who will represent the might of Ancient Legacy now? Who list without AL colors looks like shit.

On top of these dramatic events:

Enkil's Knight status has been revoked.

As you guys may have noticed, I've been back for little over 3 weeks now, and I've had some great conversations
with mortals and immortals alike. In this day and age, it made it possible for me to speak on voice-chat to Demos
and others on Slack. Great experience, and I can recommend it!

What has become clear to me, though, is that the situation on AstroMUD is not the same as when I left it a few years
ago. On the one hand, it's a lot more active, and that is a great thing to see. On the other hand, there has been
drama - and this has led to some undesirable situations.

In a change from my normal routine, I decided to have a good look at the Immortal community, and their role in things.
In a bid to restore trust and transparency, I talked to Demos, and we came to some of the following conclusions:

- In the last few months, there has been abuse of power from people on the Immortal staff. This is unacceptable.
- We want the players on AstroMUD to experience a level playing field.
- We do not think it is beneficial to AstroMUD to have high-level Immortals participating as players.

With these statement in mind, we also came to following (tentative!) measures.

- I have removed Knighthood from Enkil, after finding out the Knight gear had been buffed tremendously.
I believe Knighthood is ceremonial and symbolic in function, and should not have been buffed this way.
- It is our intention to force higher level Immortals to completely retire their mortal characters. An Immortal that can
influence AstroMUD, should not play a mortal character for the benefit of that same character.
- It is obvious that we want to promote activity on AstroMUD, so we will not ask our higher-level Immortals to delete or retire,
their mortals. They can be online, they can assist, but they can never benefit.

I have to also mention Navros here. During these discussions, he made the decision to self-delete his mortal, because
he believed he had lost trust from myself and Demos. This is untrue: I personally trust Anonymous to do what's best for
AstroMUD, and for me, there was no reason for him to delete his mortals.

Long story short: There has been a bit of turmoil in the Immortal realm, even before I came back, and we hope to give
a signal to all Astro players, that we encourage fair play, and we will continue to monitor, even at the highest levels.

Hope to have informed you sufficiently,
Regards,
Saidin.

The QRP Remort Quest ..

2020-04-16

What is a Hero?

A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

HERO

Certain players who work for the good of the mud, and behave in a fashion
that other players should emulate, can be elevated to Hero status if they
undertake certain tasks and prove themselves worthy. These players will then
be evaluated by the Elders, a group of wise and experienced leaders who will
determine the capability and potential of those seeking the status of hero.
Upon completion of a vote by the Elders, those deemed worthy will be afforded
the title of Hero and will be one step closer to becoming a Champion.

Only players who have completed a minimum of 7 remort quests will be
considered for Hero.  One of the things they're being evaluated on is their
level of devotion and support towards the mud. No one should expect or ask to be
made a hero, but rather behave so the MUD will benefit from their existence.
Have faith that the existing Heroes, Elders, and Imms will watch you.  If they
think you are eligible, you will be rewarded.

For a few, Hero is a final stop in a long and eventful journey.
For the aspiring player, this is only a stepping stone toward Champion and
onto Immortality.  The title of Hero is an honor, gained through hard work,
public service and peer recognition.

If you choose to become a Paragon after reaching the level of hero you
must turn in your Hero Eq and will lose all Hero status and perks.

HOW TO BECOME A HERO
To obtain the title of Hero, a player must:

1.  Complete seven remort quests. (Final Quest before hero vote must be custom)
2.  Be voted on by the Elders

Once a player meets the minimum requirements for becoming a hero, a player
will be promoted to a Watcher, performing the monitoring and
confirmation tasks Heroes perform.  During this period - Heroes, Elders,
Champions, Knights, and Immortals will be evaluating the new Watcher
for their ability to assume the responsibilities of being a Hero.

If a nominated Watcher is approved by the Elders, the player becomes
a Hero. If not approved, the player will retain Watcher status and
may re-apply for hero after their next remort quest.

Please beware.. many fail the first vote for Hero.  Do not
take this personally.  Many times this in itself is a test and
how you react to it speaks volumes to your character.

RESPONSIBILITIES
By accepting the title of a HERO or HEROINE of AstroMUD, you have
accepted and sworn to uphold AstroMUD law, aid those in need, and to
defend the immortals until your death!  Any hero breaking these rules
is subject to losing their status or worse.  Additionally, Heroes
who neglect their duties will be dealt with by the Elders and Imms.
Players should report bad behavior to any Elder or Immortal.

As a HERO or HEROINE, you have several responsibilities:

1.  Help those in need of a corpse retrieval to the best of your ability.
2.  Answer questions about the MUD.
3.  Enforce the rules of the MUD.
4.  Ensure harmony on the MUD.
5.  Greet Newbies

As a HERO or HEROINE, you are required to uphold certain standards above
and beyond those set forth in MUD policy.

1.  Be aware of all MUD policies, uphold and enforce them for all
    MUDders.  Watch for those who go against policy and bring them to the
    attention of an IMM.  Report all bugs of which you become aware.

2.  Be cordial to all who come onto the MUD, uphold the ideals of HEROES
    and HEROINES on the MUD, promote grouping and interaction of MUDders
    and help all of those who have questions especially NEWBIES.

NOTE:  BEING A HERO IS NOT A RIGHT BUT A PRIVILEGE.  It can and will
be removed if you do not behave in a manner deserving of your title.

In addition remember that the HERO CHANNEL is for HEROES and IMMORTALS.
Any information or conversation that is shared on that channel is NOT
to be repeated to non-heroes.  To do so will result in the loss of your
hero status.

PRIVILEGES
The following privileges will be granted to HEROES and HEROines:

1.  The following Immortal commands will be available:

    Salvation - used to forgive pkill and pthieves.  Only use if the flag
       was accidental.  Otherwise  report an actual pk or psteal to a level
    56 or 57 as soon as possible.

    Holylight - use to see invis/hidden/infra regardless of spells.
    You can only turn this on after completion of a remort quest, but

    BEFORE you remort again.  Holylight it will stay when remorted.

    Pardon - use to forgive the Heretic flag.

2.  Hero Board/Hero Channel

    You will have access to a board and channel to communicate with the
    immortals and other heroes in addition to access to the imm postmaster.

3.  Hero Equipment will be provided to you when you complete your HERO
    Quest.  These items include:

    An AstroMUD T-Shirt
    A Shieldbreaker
    Three Coupons for the reimbursement of your Shieldbreaker


4.  A House.  Please see the Realtor for the details in how to obtain a
    house.  Note that if you are unable to pay your rent, you will lose
    your house.  To regain a House, you must mail the MUD Realtor.  You
    may have to wait at least one full month for the house to be built,
    and your next month's rent will be doubled to cover building costs.

5. Special Rewards
   There will be opprotunities to gain special rewards.  Stayed tuned to
   information posted in the Hero Information Center.

The Hero title is a place of honor.  Whether playing as your Hero character
or another multi character, you are expected to behave in a manner that will
bring great credit to the MUD and refrain from acting in a manner that is
deemed anything but the epitome of heroism.  Use your common sense, and don't do anything
inappropriate (if you have no common sense, ASK).

There is a massive change with Mulitplaying rules.
Previously you were allowed to have up to 2 chars online simultenosly and 2nd Remort were allowed only after gaining Champion status.
The new rules for Multiplaying:

  1. You may have only 3 characters logged in at the same time.
  2. A second Remort character is now allowed.

These are super amazing changes, very nice!

2019-06-16

Yes, I'm not happy. Was I ever happy, who knows..

An Evil Charm : you can't handle an item of that level!
Who modified (read rendered unusable) An Evil Charm? Was it bothering your life in any way, shape or form?

Making Hero and Champ grade weapons level 1 (like Shieldbreaker etc), or Level 0 Valor Armor with perm airshield is obviously fine and very fair for leveling. But if a person used An Evil Charm Toggle to recall before level 35 that is the end of the world?

Yes, I know there are other toggles, but I like this one.

2019-05-27

One year has pased since my last entry..

Waal has Remorted to Rogue and is on the way to 2nd Champion, congratulations!

Some sayings for your motivation:

“Most players come into your life as blessing. Some players come into your life as lessons. And then there is a Plague..”

“Anyone that has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”

“Somtimes success is not about here and now, you must pass the test of time.”

“Whether you think you can, or think you can’t, you are right.”

“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.”

Dear MUD administration dudes, have you become so bussy (read lazy) that you can't even reboot once per month?
Uptime:

Up since Tue Apr 17 09:30:34 2018: 38 days, 2:49

I gues you just have to wait 40+ days if you want to get some reboot only items..

2018-05-12

I tried to play again, but it just feels like single player mode.
No staff members around :(
Sad.

2017-12-27

Luncinia advanced to level 35 and started multi Alfawheat.

2017-12-26

Well after my observations looks like we still have 4 active players!
Luncinia is playing solid.
Azazel is leveling multi Belial.
Wrath and Sugar farming X-mas arcade.
I'm working towards improving my erasing technique.
Demos/Lanfear trying to beat Satan at iddling.
There is one invisible Imm, who?

2017-12-25

Merry Christmass AstroMUD crew! :)

2017-12-23

Looks like we have a new person Salazar with his multi Ruby playing from USA, Oregon. He used to play in 90ties. 33 years old IRL.

MULTIPLAYING

Multiplaying: Definition is having more than one character on the mud at a given time. You may have only 2 characters logged in at the same time.

Looks like it is OK, to play with 3-4 chars simultenously.
Hell, I have 4 multis myself and I'm a big fan of multiplay.
Folks using 3-4 multi chars simultaneously on regular basis.



Maybe Imms should officially allow more muliplay (3-4 chars?) since they have no balls to enforce 2 characters rule anyhow.

2017-07-09

Quest Gods/Guides
How come we have only one dude working with Remort Quests?
Anonymous is doing all the hard work alone, where is the fair work distribution?
Now he seems to be on some kind of extended vacation and I'm fucked. I can't even perform my regular cycle of erasing anymore.
Maybe someone can step up and give a hand to Anonymous and join Quest Guide ranks?

2017-06-22

Vigilance just got stronger, Hero Sphynx has joined their ranks!

2017-06-13

Holy shit, Cthulhu remorted.. and now has 8th classes.

2017-06-10

Looks like some strong players have changed colors.
I woke up this morning and see that Sugaray and Enkil have left Illuminati to join Vigilance.
It is hard to say which clan name and colorcode looks cooler.

Anyhow I kinda like this move cause it were too many players in one clan and way too little in other clans.

2017-06-09

I'm excited to bring these news, Browncookie is the latest Hero on AstroMUD!
Browncookie has remorted to Wizzard and now has 9 classes.

If you successfully complete Daily QUEST, Demos will give you additional QUEST Token.
No idea for how long this is going to last.

2017-05-15

I'm playing strong as before by guarding golden throne and keeping order at Recall, but I have not got even a single item upgrade since Sugaray left.
This is not working out good for me, Sugar please stop jerking off and start playing again. Someone has to kill god damn mobs you know.

Lost my (Heroic) Moonshroud Satchel of Secrets to to Zither with following contents:

(Heroic) Sabatons of the Frontier Guard
(2) A Runic Earring of Ancient Amber (glows blue) (glows yellow) (glowing)
(Splendorous) Chainmail Templar Knight Chestplate
CARD of REIMBURSEMENT (glowing)

(Splenderous) Templar Chestplate will be not easy to replace. Also 140 tokens worth gear is *poof*.
