Okay, since the main post was massively outdated and it was filled with unpleasant things that could drive a newbie away, I've decided to just go ahead and start a new one.

TGMUD is a Multi User Dungeon created for /tg/chan, with mostly /quest/ content, based off the CoffeeMUD engine (which is really fantastic, if a bit buggy). It is now graciously hosted by Dylan, possibly until TLE reappears if he is willing to host it again.

The channel is #tgmud on irc.rizom.net. The MUD is hosted on www4.tgchan.org temporarily, on port 5555.

If you were a member of the old tgMUD, I sincerely apologize. It is difficult to run a project, and I definitely did not handle it the right way. If you felt insulted or wronged by my behavior, I am sorry for it, and I would like to welcome you back to the reboot with no hard feelings. I promise to be less of a dick this time.

>Implying dragonborn aren't already as mammaried as all get out.

Anyways I don't think they fill that role not because I don't like them, but rather this:

>Race Name : Duran (Humanoid)
>Stat Mods.: Intelligence+1, dexterity+2, constitution-2, save vs disease-10, max intelligence adj.+1, max dexterity adj.+2, max constitution adj.-2

It's a far cry from the +2Str/+2Cha Dragonborn thematically or mechanically. It's as different as elves and dwarves.

HELLO WE'RE STILL HERE

Added Gnolls as a playable race and split Sergals into Northern and Southern. Also added a few new areas, such as the Elemental Plane of Fire for level 25+. A few new classes:

*Soldier its own main class.
*Spec Ops
*Veteran
*Filled Engineer's crafting skills up.

Don't forget we also added Kenku, Nevreans, Lazuhrek are properly blind now with sonar that WORKS... Plus there's a big ol' mountain zone where you can gather resources and kill a few drakes flying around. It will eventually have some mining tunnels under it. Also in the works is a Lazuhrek-themed jungle and a city that actually has a law system!

Clockworks are kinda broken at the moment. Should be fixed soon, I hope! (hint hint squeegy)

Slimes are a new race. They can't use much armor, and can't wield weapons at all, but have an effective unarmed attack and innate damage resistance. Sex with them is forbidden, so don't even RP it.

Slimes still in the testing phase really. All classes are open, even those that really should be wielding weapons like fighters and thieves. Thieves will likely be disabled once we're done checking balance, since, well... backstab is kindof important.
>>
No. 5518 ID: 679e7a

I'm... having trouble parsing this. Sex with slimes is forbidden? But it's totally okay to bump uglies with sergals or cutebolds or whatever else? I'd understand if it was like 'slimes will melt your dick off if you try to fuck them', but the way it's stated sounds like you just don't want pseudopod porn.

Not that it affects me either way, as I don't plan to join the MUD any time soon, but I am curious.

Okay you can fuck slimes now, since people whined like little babies about it for like a full half-hour.

And apparently the issue of snooping was brought up. Yes, Archons can use the Snoop command to see what someone is doing without them knowing they're watching. However we are mindful of our players' wishes and as far as I know nobody's complained about being snooped on. Don't be afraid to tell us when we're doing something you don't like. We may be in power but it's our responsibility to make sure the players are happy.

I would hope nobody's doing anything they wouldn't want other people in the mud to know about anyway.
>>
No. 5525 ID: 1854db

Before someone responds with "But how would they complain if they didn't know they were getting snooped on" I'd like to point out that we talk about snooping in-mud and in-chat occasionally, so I expect everyone to know that it's going on.

I'm finding this game grueling. I play Aviski the Nedynvor thief and have been sorta struggling my way through the leveling. There's no real FAQs to consider or character build guides to reference.

I'm sorta having a love/hate relationship. On one hand... It's a mmo based on friggin' /tg/ quests... On the other hand, dear christ everything is going to kill my feathery ass.
>>
No. 8168 ID: 1854db

>>318162
I looked at your build... you just need more dex, I think. Dex has a large effect on your damage in combat, and as it's the primary stat for Thieves you'll gain more accuracy by raising it. But hey, you have Back Stab now. That'll help a lot too.

Uh, as for guides... in the beginning pretty much every character class can just kill things in melee. Don't be afraid to kill things that give less than 100 exp per kill- that can often result in more xp/hour than fighting things your level or above your level. Also, killing things for money is a good idea, so you can buy gear from shops. The weapon shop in Suburbia sells decent weapons, and if you're a class that wears metal armor, the armor shop is good too (though quite expensive). Two-handed weapons are very strong, and are essentially the best choice unless you have abilities that focus on one-handed weapons or shields.

Some of the vanilla coffeemud areas (accessed through The Plains by entering the grassy plains portal) have good loot, or at least loot that sells for a lot, and better gold drops than in our custom areas. The level range varies WILDLY out in vanilla though, so be sure to use Consider on everything before you attack.

The Where command can give you a good indication of where to go, but there are some areas it leaves out. The Grindery is an area good for levels 1-90, but only shows up in Where if you're near level 50. The Ofcol Swamp is good for levels 10-75 but again, only shows up in Where around level 50.
