Commands for finding out who is in the game, where you are and what is around you. Every area of the world, by region and level range, is listed on the Areas page.
Who and where
Who
- Syntax
whowho <level-range>who <house name>*who <class> <level-range>
WHO shows the people currently in the game. Some people may choose to remain unseen and won't appear on the WHO.
WHO without any arguments shows all of the (visible) people currently playing.
WHO IMMORTAL lists all immortals currently visible to you.
*WHO <house name> only works if you are in that house, or they are guardians.
Whois
- Syntax
whois <name>
The whois command identifies any user who matches the name given. For example, 'whois a' shows all characters whose name begins with A.
Where
- Syntax
wherewhere <character>where pk
WHERE without an argument tells you the location of visible players in the same area as you are.
WHERE with an argument tells you the location of characters with that name within your area, including monsters.
WHERE with the argument of "pk" will return all those in your pk range within your area.
Count
The count command displays the number of people (that you can see) logged into the mud. It also displays the highest number observed that day, if it is higher.
Areas commands worth time
- Syntax
areas syntax: commands syntax: score syntax: time syntax: weathertime system
AREAS shows you a list of areas in the game, including suggested level ranges for each.
COMMANDS shows you all the commands in the game.
TIME shows the Avendarian time.
TIME SYSTEM shows the system time, as well as when the mud last started, and the current local time for the host computer.
WEATHER shows the current game weather.
The WORTH command will bring up a quick spread of useful information, detailing such things as the amount of gold you have, how much xp/ep needed to reach the next level, and the number of arrows in your possession. Spellcasters should note that when they are encumbered, they will be able to see it through the worth command.
Mobs
"Mobs", short for "Mobiles" are the animate NPC's of Avendar. Since you should consider your character in a fantasy world, it's best to refer to mobs as monsters, creatures, animals, people, or whatever they actually are.
Non-Player Characters
You may see the acronym NPC commonly. This means Non-Player Character, and indicates basically any mobile or character in the game that is not a player character. IF you see 'Npc' on WHO, this means a staff member is controlling it and using it to roleplay. Feel free to interact with these NPCs if you see them and introduce yourself.
