Accounts & unlocks

A JediMUD account ties multiple characters together under one login. You get a shared gold + questpoint + remort pool, and an account-wide unlock store for buying access to new classes and races.

Accounts are optional — you can play perfectly fine without one. But if you plan to roll more than one character, the account system is what makes that sustainable.

What an account gets you

  • Shared gold pool. Deposit from any character; withdraw to any character. Move wealth around without giving items.
  • Shared questpoint pool. QP earned on one character spendable on another.
  • Shared remort credits. Remorts are tracked at the account level for unlock purposes.
  • Unlock store. Once you pay to unlock a race or class, every character on the account (including future ones) can pick it at character creation.
  • Cross-character identity. Staff can see your roster. One discipline trail across all your characters.

Getting started

Create an account (first character)

account create <name> <password>

Pick a name and password that are different from your character's. The account password is what other characters use to join.

Add another character to your account

Log in as the second character, then:

account join <account-name> <account-password>

Re-attach a session

After switching characters, your new session needs to re-attach:

account login <account-name> <account-password>

Pooling gold and questpoints

Money commands need you to be at an ATM (an item with the ATM spec proc — usually next to a banker). Find one, then:

Check pool

account balance

Deposit from this character to the pool

account deposit gold 1000
account deposit qp 25

Sweep everything (held + pfile bank + sql bank) into the pool

account deposit gold all
account consolidate                   (alias)

Withdraw to this character

account withdraw gold 500
account withdraw qp 10

Remorts are tracked at the pool level too — they accumulate as your account's characters earn them. You spend them when unlocking content.

Unlocking classes and races

Default characters get the base classes and races. Anything beyond — prestige classes, exotic races — must be unlocked. Once unlocked, every character on the account can pick it at creation.

account unlock list

Shows every race and class for sale with its effective price for your account.

Buy

account unlock race <id>
account unlock class <id>

Cost is deducted from the pool (gold + qp + remorts). The unlock applies to the whole account immediately — go roll a new character and the option will be there.

⚠️ Cumulative pricing

The store gets more expensive as your account collects unlocks. Every unlock you already own multiplies the price of the next one:

  • 1st unlock: base price.
  • 2nd unlock: ~2.83× base.
  • 5th unlock: ~14.7× base.
  • 10th unlock: ~36.5× base.

Order doesn't matter for total cost — the multiplier depends only on how many you've already bought. account unlock list always shows the current effective price for your N.

Frequently asked

Do I have to use an account?

No. The system is opt-in. You can play your entire MUD life without one. Most players who plan to roll alts find the pool worth it.

What if I forget the account password?

Contact staff via tell <staffname> or Discord. The owner can reset it with the right character handy. If the owner is gone, staff can transfer ownership.

Can I share an account with a friend?

See the multiplay policy and the shared-account policy. The short answer is usually no without disclosure.

If I delete a character, do its unlocks disappear?

No. Unlocks are account-bound, not character-bound. Delete one character, the unlocks stay on the account.

Can I refund an unlock I bought by mistake?

No. Unlocks are one-way purchases. Read the description carefully before you click.

Where do remorts come from?

Each character earns remorts through the normal gameplay loop (base → epic → prestige tiers). They flow into the account pool automatically. Spend them at the unlock store on classes that require remort prerequisites.
