The realm

Acropolis Ascendant is a multi-user dungeon: a world of words shared by many players at once. Explore cities and wild lands, fight monsters, gather treasure and join friends on quests. It runs on a heavily modified ROM 2.4b4 code base, and this site lets you play it straight from your browser.

Acropolis Ascendant carries on the legacy of the Acropolis mud (its history). You can still play it with a telnet client, exactly as in the old days.

In memory of Kyrin

Our longtime implementor and friend Kyrin has passed away, but her memory lives on in our hearts and minds. She was the best implementor a mud could have, and the greatest friend anyone could ask for.

The keepers

Dinchak - Original Owner.
Implementor: ced ([email protected]). Questions, bug reports and ideas are welcome.

The rules of the land

These are the rules of Acropolis. For other matters, use common sense.

* The deadline for complaints and grumbling was yesterday.

* No spamming, no harrassing players, no arguing with gods, etc. Use common

sense. Immortals WILL use their powers to stop you from harassment.

* If you are a pkiller, you can kill or steal from other pkillers without

limit (as long as they are less than 10 levels below you).

See HELP PK for all matters concerning player killing.

* Your presence here is a privilege not a right. Obey any orders from gods, and

you will be fine. Deletion does not require a reason, appeals are to be sent

to the implementors. Do not argue with any immortals!

* Cheating will not be tolerated. This includes accepting favors from gods

and exploiting bugs. If you find a bug, report it, then do not use it.

ABUSE of bugs will NOT be tolerated.

* Use of loopholes to gain power is frowned upon, but not illegal as long

as a note is posted to IMP. If there is a change in rule due to the note,

any benefit you have received will not be taken away upto the time the

rules have changed. Read the MOTD and notes. This is how we put all

information out to you.

* Botting is allowed for one purpose only, to maintain connection to the

mud. For this purpose, use "save" as the command to keep link.

Running scripts during a game play is not considered botting.

If you are found to be using any other botting besides "save" to keep

link, any your stats (level, gold, silver, balance, qp, hp, mana, skill

level, spell level and experience) may be reset to 0.(this means you lose

the skill/spell) Appeals should be made to the implementors.

* Low level quest characters are a thing of the past, the need for them does

not exist and as such may be denied questing privledges at any time.

* Changes to these rules are at the discretion of the immortals, and may be

done without warning, notice, or even evidence of sanity.

Playing several characters

Multiplaying is limited as follows:

1) You may have 2 characters on at once. No more than 2.

2) You may transfer eq between characters.

Anything more will result in punishment.

[This includes casting spells, summon monsters, helping them to complete

quests, locating equipment, grouping, using multi's as gate-points, etc.]

Do not use common sense. If there is any chance, even a slim one, that

your actions may be considered in violation, then don't do it.

As you all probably know, multi-playing is strictly not allowed on most

muds, so this is quite a privledge I am giving you.

Don't make me take it away by abusing it, or by being ignorant of the

rules and restrictions.
