For those of you who intend to show up for the reset, but don't have a greatermud forum account, we are currently taking a poll on how many characters you want to be able to have after the reset. The choices are 1, 2 or 3 characters. If you wish to weigh in and intend to play at Greatermud.com, but dont want to create a forum account to vote, please let me know here with a simple reply. Majority will win.

Also, forgot to mention, this weekend we will be providing all characters with massive exp boosts (like 100 billion) and opening the realm up for a pvp free-for-all. If you have never played GreaterMud and would like to experience the realm before the reset, this would be a great opportunity to do so. There are no "level restrictions" on dupe accounts right now, so all players can create up to three characters.

Cheers!

Reset time will be 12:00 PM EST, 27 Aug 2016. The realm will be taken offline at approx. 11:00 AM EST, and should take around an hour to bring back up, so the 12:00 PM timeframe should be when the realm is open for business, give or take.

New Realm Rules effective at Reset:

PVP Realm:
• 1 account per IP address, dupes are NOT authorized!
o Roomates (haha) can be voice verified
o If you want to play here bad enough, you will have no issue with voice verification for two people who wish to play from the same IP address
• VPN’s and Amazon Web Services, etc. will be required to voice verify
o See above
• +/- 15 level PVP
• No @goto. Ever.
• No gold jeweled rings.
• 400 million gang exp required to buy a gang house
• No scripting the cloaked figure in the easy training area
• NO lives will be given out.
• Script killing is allowed
• Failure to set up your megamud properly is your fault, not ours.
• First kill limiteds are in place.
• Limited Drop Rates are +5%
• Page/Telepath bombing is not allowed.
• Dupe violations will be as follows:
o 1st violation: Dupe banned, Main re-rolled, 72-hour suspension
o 2nd violation: Dupe banned, Main re-rolled, 72-hour suspension
 After 72-hour initial suspension, a weekly vote will be assessed by the player base to determine your continued suspension or return.
 A person found to have 2 or more dupes will be considered as 1 violation per dupe.
o 3rd violation: Permanent ban for the duration of that push
o If you violate the no-dupe rules within the first 72-hours of the reset, you will be suspended for 1 week since there would be no real penalty in re-rolling your main.
________________________________________

Limited Item Rules:
• Initially, limited items will be standard drop.
• Gang-houses will NOT be swept for limited item hoarding. This is the purpose of having a thief in your gang. If a limited item that you want is being hoarded in a gang-house vault, sacrifice one of your gang members to create a thief, build him up, and pick the vault. Simple!
• Accounts will be stripped after 5 days unless you work something out in advance with one of the Sysops. See “Inactive Players” section below.
• .
________________________________________

Idiocy:
• Exploitation of any known “bug” will result in a 72-hour suspension. Subsequent violations will result in a 30-day suspension.
o The room spell “bug” where an individual walks into a room spell and the caster does not take evil points, and the “moves to attack you” message is not displayed, is not a bug! This “feature” of GMud functions as designed!
• Racial slurs will not be tolerated over gossip channels. If you absolutely must use them, keep them out of any public channel. If you are asked to refrain by any player and you continue, you will be suspended for an appropriate duration.
• Anyone using the “invites you to moves to attack you” function, or otherwise being disruptive to the player base, will be given a 30-day suspension.
• Other than racial slurs or sexist comments, the public GOS channel is open, and you are encouraged to gloat over your fallen opponents. This is a hardcore PVP realm that attracts some of the greatest mudders of all time!

________________________________________

Inactive Players:
• Players holding limited items who remain inactive (not logged in for 5 days, online but not earning sufficient experience to be classified as “active”) will be stripped. Obviously, there will be no holder dupes, so if you don’t want to lose your limited items, then either follow the above rule or play with non-lims.

________________________________________

These rules are being implemented to make everyone’s time here more enjoyable and attempt to bring back some of those who departed when the realm “fell apart” during the last unlimted dupes push. Remember, you may be able to get a dupe or two past the MudOp initially, but everyone makes a mistake eventually, and you will be discovered. If you enjoy playing here, please follow the rules and keep it enjoyable. We don’t want to lose any of our already-dwindling population of great mudders, but cheating (dupes) will not be tolerated! Additionally, we only want the best players in our PVP realm, so those who need to use dupes are obviously less skilled, and not the caliber of player we want around here.

These rules are subject to change as needed to support the player base. Thanks for reading and we appreciate your cooperation in making GreaterMud the BEST place to play in a hardcore PVP realm!
