This guide is still a Work In Progress. If you can edit the wiki, feel free to make this guide better!


Don’t know how MU*s work? Have no idea what to do? Too shy to ask around the channels? Then this guide is FOR YOU! Yes, YOU! Absolute newcomer!

First off, whenever you see text like this, it means it's a game command, something you're supposed to type and send to the game.

Of extreme, absolute, total and ball busting importance: READ! This cannot be emphasized enough, but you REALLY, REALLY need to READ and PAY ATTENTION to things!

Contents

Making your character

The first thing the page will ask you for is to select a faction. It will affect your starting location and some NPC (Non-Player Character) interactions. Don’t worry, you won’t lose anything by choosing one faction over another. In the end, it acts mostly as choosing your starting point and who got your character up and running, so to speak.

PREPACKAGE

While the other starting perks are pretty self explanatory, prepackage deserves extra attention. Once you finish your character and log into the game (direct control), you will have to use the prepackage command. You can use it at any time after you created your character.

FLAWS

For your first character, you may want to skip this completely, save for these: Adapted Metabolism – Better healing effects Adaptative Immunities – Resistance to debuffs (bad statuses) Nanite Fueled – Increases your damage Nanite Reinforced – Increased defense These flaws will actually help you out, giving you combat advantages! The downside is that every combat turn you will use Builder Nanites to keep these effects ongoing. Builder Nanites are easy to acquire and are also relatively cheap (less than 1 cred per nanite), but you may run low on them early on, so do keep that in mind. You can jump to this part to know how to get more of these nanites.

Now, choose your starting gender. Don’t worry, unless you later pick some specific perks, your gender will be subject to change a lot.

All ready? Then hit Submit!

Perks

Perks are very important extras that help you define your character better, as well as give some very useful bonuses! You do not need to spend them all right away, you can save them for later!

The ones that a new player will most probably want on his/her new character as soon as possible:

  • Always Male/Female/Herm – These perks will ensure that the character never loses the respective genitals, herms always having at least one cock and one vagina. These perks will NOT prevent the character from gaining extra genitals. This means that if you are Always Male and get infections from a female form, say a Female Husky, you WILL get breasts AND a vagina.
  • Male/Female/Herm Preferred – These perks, on the other hand, will ensure that your character is ALWAYS treated as the selected gender. Male preferred characters will NEVER grow breasts or vaginas, Female preferred will NEVER get balls or cocks.

Without any of the above perks, your character’s gender will be determined by the mutations s/he currently has.

Pay extra attention to the perks that give infection resistances! For a first character, it would be better to not get any of these right away! Explore the game first, learn the ropes, then get the resistances! No need to be afraid of transforming, you can always get another form back, even a human’s!

I don’t want to live with this perk anymore!

Mistakes happen, and luckily, every player can remove a perk from their characters. This is a two step procedure to do so. First, log in via Direct Control. Type +jnote. It will list your perks. Now, type +mako/perknuke number, where number is the number of the perk as listed with the +jnote command. Say the perk you want to get rid of is number 3. +mako/perknuke 3. Poof, like magic, it’s gone! You have two free nukes, after you spend them, every nuke will cost 1 mako.

Long and Short Descriptions

Unless you plan on having a character without anything to make it unique, you will want to give it a nice description. Do note that how your body looks like is always determined by what mutations you have, but it doesn't mean that every skunk mutant looks exactly the same!

First, you'll want to set a short description first. You can do that via web, under Personal->Settings[1], or via editplayer command on direct control (editplayer; n; 8). This description appears whenever someone glances the room. It's not meant to be overly long, since it's the "first impression" of your character!

Next up is the long description. Just like the short description, you can set it under the Personal->Settings page or with editplayer option 2. This one is what people will see once they look at you, and this is where you want to make your character really special! Go wild!

A neat trick for descriptions is that you can also change the colors of the text! Here's how you do it:

What to write How it will show
His ^green^green shirt ^normal^is very pretty! His green shirt is very pretty!
Those ^cyan^light blue eyes^normal^ have a ^purple^supernatural^normal^ thing to them. Those light blue eyes have a supernatural thing to them.

As you can see, everything after the ^color^ will be shown with the new color, unless changed again. The 16 colors are (light/dark):

  • white
  • gray (normal)
  • black
  • cyan/aqua
  • blue/navy
  • red/crimson
  • magenta/purple
  • yellow/brown
  • green/forest


All set? Then let’s dive right into the actual game!

Basic Stuff 101

Okay, now you got your brand new character ready! You really should login through Direct Connection and see how the game actually looks (hint: lots of text). Some commands that can be used towards something: pull

push

check

talk

smell

look

The Beginning tm.

The first thing you will notice is that there is a room description right off the bat! And also two Warnings. If you want to make those warnings disappear right away, skip to this part. Notice how things are separated? Here is the rundown:

  • [Area name] Room name
  • Room description
  • --Contents of Room name--
  • Players: Actual players and their [current status]
  • Things: NPCs or other stuff

That’s a ton of info, ain’t it? In your first room, take your time to either check or talk to the Things listed. A whiteboard and a Recquisitions Clerk. You don’t need to type out the full name (most of the time), so check clerk or check board will suffice! Read what each has to offer and reply accordingly, you can do it on your own, I believe in you!

Starting equipment

Done? You’re in doubt what to answer to the Clerk, whether you should start with the pistol and medkit or the chainsword? Worry not! Either is a good help at the start. The medkit isn’t single use, you equip it and you can use it during combat as many times as you need to! The chain sword helps deal more damage. In either case, you can buy the other items anyway, and around level 10 you may not be using those items too much. Done now, right? Of course you are! Wait, you want to know how to equip it? You skipped the clerk teaching you to, didn’t you? Don’t lie, you did it! I’m a nice person, so I’ll teach you!

Now that you got the items, you can type i, inv or inventory to see your inventory! Any time it looks too cluttered, you can i sort, inv sort to sort it out alphabetically! Okay, if you use itemnumber, you will equip it. Say the medkit is the first item listed. Use 1 will try and use it. Being an equipment, you’ll equip it. On the other hand, simply typing i itemnumber, as in, i 1, i 2, will show the description of the item in said slot. Neat, huh?

How do you remove it, now? If you type eq or +gear, you’ll see what you currently have equipped, again with numbers. Type remove itemnumber and poof! Unequipped! Like magic! If you’re not sure what one equipped item is or does, you can type load itemnumber to see its description. Now that you are fully equipped (not really, but you’re good enough to go), it’s time to go out and explore the world!

WAIT! Actually, hold on just a minute and only go to the next room! If you’re either RSX or Zephyr, the next room you go into will have more NPCs. One of them will give you a Tutorial – Basic Crafting quest!

Your first quest!

Which NPC should you talk to? Well, half the fun is finding out stuff! check and talk to each NPC, you may have to speak more than once, many NPCs actually do give different messages if you bother them enough! It’s always a nice idea to talk or check at least three times, for good measure.

Get the quest and follow the instructions. This time, don’t skip anything, pay attention! Also, when you craft, DO NOT equip the item yet! Finish the quest before equipping it! And always keep in mind: talk to the same NPC more than once, always! If you do everything right, you will receive 10 thousand creds plus some armor!

As a Promethean (Prommie)

If you’ve started out as a prommie, things are bit farther away than starting as Zephyr or RSX. To get your first crafting quest, you will have to move in the following directions: south

east

south

south

west

west Assuming you were inside the Medical Hut when you started, you will end up in the Roundhouse, in a room with a NPC named Eric the Crafter.

There you go, now you have two weapons, an extra armor and 10.000 creds! But before you head out and fight the nasty and naughty ferals, a word from our advertisers!

Transformations and You

Transformations are a big part of the game. It is by getting infections that you gain access to other powers, hence the importance of not being completely immune to them right from the start if you’re a new player! Infections happen in 7 different parts of the body:

  • Arms
  • Legs
  • Ass
  • Groin
  • Torso
  • Head
  • Skin

Each infected part may or may not give you access to one or more powers. You can check your current infections with the mut command. Either mut alone or mut me will do the trick. Even more amazing, you can type mut playername to see other players’ mutations! We’ll get on more details about it later.

If you got the Prepackage during character creation, you can choose a form to infect you right from the start, typing the command prepackage. The choices are limited to your starting location (you can spend mako to increase the number of choices), you can either pick one or choose at random. This will allow you to already have a small selection of powers from the start. There are well over 500 forms spread around the game, each having wildly different sizes and appearances. Some are based on real animals, some are more fantastic looking, some are a mix, others are nightmare fuel, so there is a big chance that you’ll find something for your tastes!

If you didn’t pick a perk to set your gender, it’ll be defined by your genitals (or lack of). You can be listed either as male, female, herm or neuter.

Organ sizes

Other than changing the way each part of your body looks like, infections can also change the sizes of your genitals, something you can see with size, breast or groin commands. If you type the command and a target, it'll show the target's sizes, like size enemy.

Part Soft cap Related perks
Breasts 4 Just One, Many Breasted
Breast Size 16 Heavy Breasted, Size King, Compact Breasts, Small Breasted, Passing Grade Chest
Clits None Just One
Clit Length None None
Cunts None Just One
Cunt Depth 18 Modest Vagina
Cocks None Just One
Cock Length 18 Modest Cock
Balls None No balls, Never Drop a Ball
Ball Size 20 Tanuki Grade, Compact Balls, Humble Balls, Prized Jewels

It's very important to note that infection resistance/immunity will also protect your organs from changing sizes. Having either the Looks Human or Look Native will NOT block your genitals from changing sizes!

Unless you take Sexually Stable perk, which permanently locks your genitals into what you currently have when you take it, you can still change them by taking some pills that you can buy over [The Mall]: Lisa's Blissful House. You can also check the Web's Shop link.

This sounds fun! I want to get infected!

So, how do you get infections? Let’s start with the most common type: Combat!

Combat

Every enemy attack that hits you and deals at least 3 damage has a chance of infecting a random part of your body. The chance is random, you could receive over 100 attacks and not get any infection, or you could start getting infections every other attack that hits you! Losing a combat (or submitting to an enemy) may trigger a defeat message. The enemy will have some fun with you and most of the time will cause an infection on you!

Infection Vials

You can buy vials from various shops around the game. These vials are player supplied, so that means you can also get some for you! Thing is, it’s a bit complicated. Infection Vials will sometimes drop from beaten ferals. BUT! Some conditions must be met before this happens:

  1. The character must have a nanite collector equipped
  2. The character must have a naniteCollection effect of at least 2 (having it higher won’t make a difference). To see this, type effect and check the list that is output.
  3. The player must have a decent amount of Research proficiency.

NaniteCollection effect acts like a flag. If it’s under 2, the game won’t even check for a drop chance. The Research proficiency is what actually dictates the chance of a vial dropping from a defeated enemy. With about 20 points, the chances are something around 20%, while 30 seems to bump it close to 50%, maybe higher.

As of 12-31-2016, every defeated feral can drop up to 5 infection vials.

Coyote Players, aka Yotes

Some players follow the Coyote dedication, usually called yotes by other players. Their powers allow them to transform other players into forms that they have mastered. Some can even change only specific parts of your body, or even just your size or number of genitals!

NPC “Interaction”

And by interaction of course it means fucking them. This is an adult game with a focus on this, so obviously you can do that! You can have some hot times with a few select NPCs, and most of them arry their infections on you once you do that. Possibly the most well known are Obsidian, a female shadow dragon, and her special friend, Violet, a hermaphrodite blue gryphon. Having sex with them is the easiest way of getting infected (and mastering!) those two forms.

Form Mastery? Did I get stronger?

No. I know, what a bummer. Or a misnomer. Either way, mastering a form gives you two things:

  1. A small money prize (either 1, 2 or 3 thousand creds);
  2. Access to it with dedications.

Every dedication costs mako, and some, like Coyote and Nanite Adept, use their list of mastered forms to change others or themselves, respectively. You can check which forms you have mastered with listforms or list forms. Even if you don’t plan on getting any dedication, mastering forms is a quick and easy (sometimes) way to get a few extra bucks, which is incredibly useful early in the game!

A whole new world to explore!

Look at you! All geared up and full of knowledge to explore the world! I’m so proud of you! Here, sweetie, don’t forget your map! And your cartographer! Let me explain how to use them:

  • map – This is a simple command that will list the nearby exits.
  • cart – Now this baby is a lot more useful. It will show you your current room (marked with an X, somewhere in the middle) and all the nearby rooms AND their exits, labeling them! Do note that you will need a monospaced font (all characters having the same spacing, like Courier New or Liberation Mono) to get a proper map.

Hey, this direction is colored differently!

While out there exploring, you will notice some directions in yellow, gray, white or purple color.

  • Yellow colored directions mean that you’re about to enter a safe place. No enemies to be found, you can rest and catch your breath here without a problem.
  • Gray colored directions indicate that you’re entering a place with enemies, but you’re too strong for whatever they are, and thus you will not be ambushed.
  • White colored directions means you’re going into a place where enemies are about your level.
  • Magenta (light purple, pink) colored directions are the worst. It means that place is a high level area, and chances are you’ll be beaten pretty quick if you dare step there.

Finding, knowing and avoiding enemies

Important notice: The game received an update around December 31 2016 where it did away with random combat. The only way to get into a fight is by manually using the search command!


If you’ve already stepped outside a bit, you may have noticed the message (Your hazard monitor emits a <sound>. If you type +haz, you’ll know whether the area has any enemies and the levels they may spawn. If you’re not sure what you may encounter on the next room, you can also type +haz direction, like +haz e or +haz n. That is a very useful trick to avoid bad times with overpowered enemies! On the lower end of the window you will notice two acronyms, DN and PH, probably DN-0 and PH-0. These are the difficulty settings you currently have. Here is the explanation of what they mean and the three ways to change them.

  • DN, Danger Rating – This means how hard the enemies you encounter will be. Can be changed in game with the command web #difficultylevel [1-6]
  • PH, Pheromones – Enemy quantity, how many extra enemies you may find during each combat. Can be changed in game with the command web #difficultyquantity [1-6]

You can also find Danger and Pheromone technician npcs over the 1st floor above either Zephyr or RSX lobbies. Talking to them will allow you to change the levels. Last but not least, you can change the difficulties anytime with the web interface. Look on the right, under your Level and EXP, you’ll see two sliding bars: Enemy Level and Enemy Quantity.

On the RSX and Zephyr upper floor, you will also notice a Terminal. This is one of the most useful things in the game. Type terminal and you will get a list of all the places that are more or less suitable to your current level! If you type terminal form name, like terminal shadow dragon, the terminal will list all the places that shadow dragons appear as ferals that you can fight!

Mentor - When you're too strong

Enemies won't appear at all if you are too strong for them to handle! In game terms, this means that if you are more then 3 levels above the maximum of the area, you'll find no enemies, no matter how many times you search. To see the maximum level of the area, type +haz, it'll show up after RECOMMENDED TRAINING LEVEL: minlvl - maxlvl.

But fret not! There is one command to help you out with this, mentor. Typing mentor followed by a number will set your level to that number, so long as it's under your current real level. Say you're level 28, you can mentor to any level up to 28. If you type mentor -1, you'll be brought back to your real level!

How do I get to this place?

There are another two very useful commands for exploration:

  • atrace – Area tracing, the name that appears in [brackets] when you look at a room. Say you need to find your way to The Mall. You simply type atrace the mall and wait for the results. If you’re not getting any results, check for typos.
  • rtrace – Room tracing, the use is similar to atrace, but it looks for a room instead of an area, the name after the [brackets]. Say the room you need to find is named bathroom, type rtrace bathroom.

Combat Fighting – HYYAAA!

So out exploring you went and you suddenly got ambushed! Woe is upon you! Actually, woe is upon your enemies, for you are a player! And they’re nothing but computer generated enemies! Time to draw some blood (not yours, theirs, of course).

IMPORTANT – There is an in-depth guide to combat, much better than this section! Check it by clicking anywhere in this line! You can even skip this section and just read that guide instead!

DebuffMag? HPBuffer? What the hell do all those things even mean???

Luckily, there’s a page that already explains a good deal of those jumbled words. http://wiki.flexiblesurvival.com/w/Statuses

ATB – Understading how the hell things work

The game’s combat works more or less based on turns. Every power has a Charge time and a Cooldown time, measured in rounds. Every 1000 points means a full round, so you’ll often see values like 5200, 6700, etc. Some powers have a charge of 0 or a negative number, like -100. This means the power is instant and you will get to use another power afterwards! Once you’ve selected to use a power, the game will process stuff until your power acts out, usually being your turn again afterwards. Shorter charges tend to mean that you act more often in combat.

Health and Energy

Health is self explanatory. If it reaches 0, you are defeated. Game over, make another character. Energy is what you use to active most items and powers. You automatically recover a bit every turn, usually 1. Unlike health, it does not increase as you level up. There is one perk and some class abilities that increase it.

Powers

There are a lot of different powers, first thing you should know is the difference between passive powers, toggled and normal ones. Passives are powers that you always benefit from. Static bonuses that stay with your character in and out of combat. Toggled powers have an energy cost. This cost, however, deducts from your maximum energy. The power Juggernaut, for instance, costs 1 energy. If you have a maximum of 100 energy and activate the power, while the power is active, your maximum energy will be 99. These powers can be (de)activated outside of combat too, but that will trigger their cooldown. Normal powers are powers that you use and wait for the result to play out, dealing damage, healing damage, etc. If you type rpinfo name of the power, you will get a window showing all the power does and even what you can upgrade!

Alright alright, but what powers should I have?

Once again, do take a look at this guide for real in-depth combat information.

For starters, you DEFINETELY should master either Lactaid or Deep Healing. They are mutually exclusive, so you can only have either, but they both act the same: instant healing. During earlier levels, you will probably fight lone most of the time, so having Raking Claws, Rending Claws and Flamethrower can help you dish some damage by yourself. Do note that these powers are Damage Over Time, DOT, they will keep causing damage for some rounds after you use them. As you gain access to more areas and more transformations, you will also start to see different powers. Always check them with rpinfo, see which ones interest you most and master the ones that work best with you!

Round 1 – FIGHT!

Okay, onto combat proper now! Once it’s your turn, the game’ll show you:

  • Your enemies’ health
  • Your health
  • Your energy
  • Your powers/items

Your powers appear in white. If any power appears in gray, they’ll also have a number in (parenthesis). This means the power is on cooldown and it will take that many rounds until you can use it again. To use a power, you can either type use power name on x, power name, or the first letters of the power. Here are some examples: use flamethrower on 1

flamethrower

flam on 1

flam

In any of the above examples, your character will attempt to use the Flamethrower power. Notice that on two examples there was an extra on 1. This was the target. Most of the time, enemies are numbered to make it easier to target them, since it’s common to fight more than one enemy with the same name. You can also set a target with target enemy, target 1, target prime. This way, whenever you use a power, you will automatically target that enemy, unless you override it with use power on target. Once it dies, you won’t automatically select a new target, so your powers will randomly target enemies. If you try to use a power that is on cooldown, the game will force you to wait until it’s ready to use and then use. In battles where you’re just trying to get infected and need to spend most of your rounds doing nothing, this is useful. When you actually need to beat the enemy, this can end up being the reason you get defeated, so pay attention!

Can’t I just leave it doing stuff for me?

If you’re too bored to keep your eyes in combat, you can also use the auto command to let the game take actions in your stead. Auto on will turn it on, and auto off will turn it off. Simple and straightforward!

Oh my god, I keep getting my ass handed! I suck at combat!

This is common occurrence, but fret not! Try changing powers, mastering different ones with different modifiers. Maybe you were relying too much on a power that nobody uses, because it is too weak. Maybe you are forgetting to use some of your equipment. Maybe you’re fighting more than what you can take, who knows! Combat is part of the game, but not the only way to get exp or creds!

Losing is FUN!

No, it isn’t. But not all is lost! When you lose, you have two options:

  1. Type respawn and be sent back to your bonded place (if you haven’t set one, it’ll be your starting place).
  2. Type hero revive to get full health and energy back and get ready to kick the ass of whoever just kicked yours! You have a limit to how many times you can revive this way (4 per day, 5 with a perk).

Do note that every time you fall in combat, you will suffer temporary wounds. These reduce your maximum health, but they go away with time, so long as you’re out of combat. You can also spend mako to get rid of them instantly!

My items suck! Where can I get better stuff?

Crafting. Seriously, the only way to get better combat items is by crafting. Ask around the Science channel for good weapon/modifier combinations. Do notice that the very best things are very expensive!

Professions, because even after the apocalypse, shit needs to work

The nanite apocalypse happened and all the shelters turned out to be a carefully controlled- wait, scratch that, wrong game! Just because everything went to shit doesn't mean your only hopes of money and experience are stuck to murdering your enemies and pillaging their corpses. You can also do work that helps others!

In some specific places, like Eureka, Haretown, Cat Town and Clairmont (those red links should be blue, the pages exist), you can find rooms that have a green text, X job available. Each job uses one or more different proficiencies.

Sorry we're looking for someone with more experience

The message that there are available jobs only appears of you have at least 1 point trained in the proficiency. The best way to get a head start is by choosing your professions. You can pick up to 6 right from the start, but do note that you have to spend mako to get rid of them!

To learn a profession, simply type buy full profession name in any room without a shop. Getting a profession will increase its listed proficiencies by 10 points, up to a maximum of 36. Do take a look at what each proficiency does to help you plan better what you'll want to start off with!

Wait, where and how can I work again?

Once you are in the proper room AND you have at least one point in the used proficiency, you'll see a green message like X Job Available. Type sa list to get the full list of jobs available there.

To actually do it, type sa full name of the job. And by full name, it really is the full name as it appear, case insensitive. Say the job name is The Art of Massage. You'll have to type sa the art of massage to do it!

This will spend a number of patrol points and instantly net you experience and freecreds!

PROMOTIONS!!!

After you've worked enough on a particular job, you can train to level it up! Type SA train, the type the name of the job. If you don't have enough job experience (unrelated to your normal experience), the game will tell you how much you still need to get before leveling the job.

When you level up a job, you open up new social actions which usually require you to spend more patrol points, but also give out better rewards on a per point basis!

Roleplaying – Time to put on your robes and wizard hat!

You've killed your fair share of ferals, you've worked yourself to the bone, now you need to find a nice place and some company!

Letting people know about your kinks

The game has this very neat thing called a wi profile. As soon as you start the game with direct connection you'll be bugged to define yours nearly every minute. You can get the rid of the message adding a single thing before taking your time.

wi #flags Will give you a list of all the available flags that you can add to your profile. If you want to know what each of them means, you can either type wi #whatis flag or wi #whatisall, this second command will list all flags and what they mean.

Now that you got an idea of the flags, you can either #set or #add them. Do not that #set erases whatever you had before and overwrites with the new flags. You will probably want to use #add and #rmm instead.

  • To add a flag, simply type wi #add flag. Do note that you need to use the short name. So, if you want to add Submissive, you use sub. Hypnosis is hns and so on. You can add more than one by separating them with commas, like wi #add dom, fb, vag, lat
  • If you want to state that you're not into something, you can use !, as in wi #add !vhd. This will add a not-vore (hard) flag to your profile, for instance.
  • Don't want a flag anymore? wi #rmm flag! The same rules for #add apply.

You can see other players' wi profile by typing wi playername, even if they are offline. If you type wi alone, it'll list the profiles of all the players in the room.

It's possible to add or remove more than one tag with a single line of command. Just put a space between the flags. Like this: wi #add fur fea sp kem sp.

Custom tags

It's possible to add custom tags at the end of your wi profile. Do note that there is a limit of 30 characters you can use. This custom tag also cannot be searched for. To do it, type wi #custom The thing you want to add.

Top and bottom

Unlike most other places, regarding the game flags, top denominates who is the giving partner and bottom is the receiving. One can be the dominant partner and also be the one on the receiving end. Dom/sub, Master/slave still apply normally, do check each flag description to be sure!

Adding more depth

Notice how some players' wi have a [D]? That means they have a detailed profile. You can check it with wi #detail playername.

A detailed profiled allows you to rank the flags from 5 (highest, love) to 1 (lowest, never). Adding and removing detailed flags is very similar to the simple ones. wi #add level=flag. The levels are:

  1. Hate / Never doing it
  2. Dislike
  3. Neutral
  4. Like
  5. Love

wi #add 4=vag will add the vaginal flag under the Like. Note that you can add the same flag to different levels, the game will list it under both. Say you wi #add 5=vag and wi #add 4=vag, it'll show on both Love and Like levels. To remove a flag from a level, just use #rmm instead of #add.

Just like the normal flags, you can also add or remove various flags in a single level by separating them with spaces. wi #add 5=mic mac sp sex

Where can I find people?

If you're looking for something specific, you have two options:

  1. Make a call for it in the Pickup channel. It could be either a short message like "I'm a sub looking for someone to dominate me." or something more elaborate, "Big bad wolf wants to devour innocent bystanders, page for info!". Really, your imagination is the limit on how you decide to advertise it.
  2. wi #find flags To look for players with specific flags. Say you want to find another player that has both Dominant and Master flags, wi #find dom, mst. It will give you a list of all currently online players that have those flags. You can then page them and see if they'd like something.

Other players may not always be up for or comfortable with what you are. You will get some No's, just like in real life, and that is okay, cheer up! Just behave and treat others well, be understanding! Always remember proper roleplaying etiquette (help etiquette)!

Role out!

So you find a partner or two, found a nice place to roleplay, now it's time for the real action! Here are the commands you'll need to use and what they'll show on game. For the purposes of this section, assume your character is named John.

Command What you type What appears on screen

And remember to check help etiquette, it teaches this and also gives some useful info regarding when to pose.

Missed something another person said? Need a reminder? Worry not! Just type pot and you will get the last actions that happened on that room! There is a limit of 100 poses that get logged, and every pose that happened over 12 hours ago will be erased.

Every 15 minutes, the game will tick and check for RP activity, rewarding players with experience and freecreds. If the players are in a room with a salvage source, they'll also receive a number of said salvage.

How about some very private stuff?

Feeling the need to make things get really private, just you and someone else? Don't want inteprid explorers finding the room you were in and potting your deeds? Don't want to leave a trace over your rented room? Well, luckily, there is one thing that exists to help you on that!

+room name of the room! You can type that over any place and you will immediately create a separate room that can only be accessed by msummoning people or people in your party! The room will disappear as soon as the creator leaves it.

DING, LEVEL UP!

Like any good RPG, you will eventually level up once you get enough experience! However, to level up here, you also need to spend freecreds. Bummer, but that's the price for training.

There are three ways to level up:

  • Up to level 30, by default, you will level up as soon as you hit 150% exp and have enough creds to pay for the level up.
  • On the web, once you have enough exp, you can click on the Level Up button on the right side.
  • Through direct connection, you can train level on the Zephyr and RSX lobbies.

Once you level up, a lot of other training costs will increase as well. On the other hand, you will also earn more exp and freecreds from social actions and roleplaying!

You can get the full list of channels by simply typing channels. You can also check the last sent messages by typing channelname #last, like pub #last, pick #last 30.
