Paradigm's PvP realm will have its annual reset on Saturday, October 5th 2024 at 12:00 Noon EST!
mud.paramud.com port 23 (Production server - Telnet here on reset day!)
mud.paramud.com port 2323 (Test server - This server will remain open until closer to reset for testing and account verification ahead of reset)
Discord invite link: https://discord.gg/gkUe3VSG9U
MME Export, Winter's annual MegaMUD release and more are available on the Discord server!
As Paradigm's feature realms, they will feature our full custom content set built upon the stock game, including Module 10, Shadowmere and more, designed for levels 1-100(+)!
We've designed and balanced the realm so that even if you're not able to start the first day, you can join later and still have a shot at the gear (or people) you want to pursue.
Rules
PvE: One character until you reach 8 billion experience, at which point you may make another for a maximum of two characters.
PvP: One character per PERSON/I.P. with NO EXCEPTIONS. This includes remote control like Teamviewer!
No characters may be used as mules or holders.
No characters may be used as healbots or buffbots, they must gain exp if in a party.
PvP: Characters left sitting in safe rooms for extended periods may find themselves "moved" some random place.
PvE: Tokens are limited to five uses per day which recharge at cleanup.
PvP: No teleport tokens or corpses.
No alignment changes or retrains.
Lives can be bought at healers for 5 runic each.
Experience required to buy a gang house is set at 400 million.
Page/Telepath bombing is not allowed, along with spam of any kind.
All limited items are now unlimited and governed by drop rates.
Failure to set up your megamud properly is your fault, not ours.
PvP: There will be no playing ops in the PvP realm, and there will be no op interference aside from actual bug issues. It will be very hands-off.
PvP: Traditionally The GreaterMUD PvP realm is the most active and the most hardcore realm, so be prepared.
Racial Slurs
If we see it in a public channel, you will be banned. It's that simple.
Doxing
Bringing a player's personal information into the game is grounds for banning.
This is a fantasy game, leave the personal information out of it.
We reserve the right to add to this list of rules at any time.
These will always be available in game by typing ? or help rules
PvP realm settings may change based on Discord polling between the time of this post and reset day, but the current thoughts are:
30 Level PvP range
20% hang penalty
One character per person with no exceptions!
This realm's final settings will be polled in the coming days on the official Paradigm Discord server.
We are implementing a new verification system in order to ensure fair play, which will include moving to a single account system for all characters across all realms. To facilitate the transition to the new system, Winterhawk is accepting verification requests leading up to the reset on 10/5, with more players being verified ahead of time daily. You can log on to the test realm at: mud.paramud.com port 2323 (test server) leading up to the reset .
We suggest that you start by joining our official discord server here: https://discord.gg/gkUe3VSG9U. You can then follow the verification process listed below and get yourself ready for reset!
We've been working on new content with new shops, new areas, fixes and additions to old and new areas. We've also made notable engine and content changes, including (but not limited to):Paradigm User Verification
Over the years it has become apparent that regardless of our best efforts, players have decided that the
rules don't apply to them. There have been numerous complaints about duping. In an effort to curtail that
behavior, we have decided to implement a verification system.
We are changing how you interact with our Paradigm Telnet Server. You will now use a SINGLE account to log
into the system. You will no longer need to make additional Telnet Accounts to play on different realms.
Each Realm has a Character select and the characters will be tied to your SINGLE account.
You will be required to verify your account. Prior to verification, you will be restricted from leveling
past level 10, you will not be able to gossip, auction, or join broadcast channels.
The process for verification is detailed below.
* Log into Paradigm and complete the new questionairre asking for First Initial/Last Name and Email Address.
* Join our Official Discord Server here https://discord.gg/gkUe3VSG9U
* ID Verification
- Option 1:
o DM Winterhawk your Name, a picture of your Driver's License, and the account you use to log into Paradigm
o Winter will delete your photos and messages after the verification is complete (you will see in your DMs that they were deleted)
- Option 2:
o use Video Chat in Discord
o Set up a time to video chat w/ Winter to verify your account
o Note: he will not be on camera or speak as he does not want to frighten anyone away, er, he has no mic or webcam
* Alternate Options
- It is not our intent to deny access to any legitimate player.
- Winter is willing to work with players who are uncomfortable with this process.
- Please DM Winter and discuss other options.
- If you do not have discord, email Winter at paramudhelp@gmail.com
* Once complete, Winter will verify your account, which will show as a V in the who list.
