In an effort toward having a little more information available about
people using the mud, and to curb possible abuses, we are no longer
allowing self-creation of characters on the venues mud as we have in the
past. <br>
<br>
Users can still request the creation of a character. To do so, they must
log in as a guest, then use the @request command to request a character
be created. At the end of this message is a sample use of this process.
The user's text is in <i>italics</i>.<br>
<br>
We would also like all users to register an email address with the
characters they use on the venues mud. To do this, use the @register
command:<br>
<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>@register
me as myname@my.email.address<br>
<br>
This is a fairly picky command, and will reset your password. If you have
any problems with this, drop a note to ag-mud@mcs.anl.gov with your
player name and we'll do the registration for you.<br>
<br>
FYI, this is also part of an effort to move the everyday interactions
from WFG to the Venues mud, since the userbase for the mud may be growing
much larger. We plan to introduce some more space in the Venues mud for
non-event interaction.<br>
<br>
