Immortality

Some characters have left this mortal coil and become Immortals (sometimes referred to as god or wizards.) You may REQUEST immortality after you earn 200,000,000 experience per class. Very rarely, someone will be given an immortal for some significant service to the mud.

You must find a god to sponsor you into immortality. Each current immortal above level 51 can sponsor a few others to be immortals. The sponsoring immortal oversees your training, and helps you progress to level 52, so that they can sponsor someone else.

We ask that when you request immortality, you do so with ALL your equipment still intact, to keep equipment circulating, and prove your commitment. Please do not get rid of anything that you normally used over the adept portion of your career, and give away NOTHING at all for the last 10 or so million experience. If you played a well equipped adept, we expect you to sacrifice a well equipped adept in order to become an immortal. Trying to weasel around this and find loopholes will show you are not suited to immortality, where you must obey strict rules, enforce the intent of rules, and consider the good of the mud before your own personal good.

Newbie Immortals (level 51) are give limited power and must follow strict rule preventing them from helping (or harming) mortals. They must not interfere with the normal running of the game. The are not allowed to use their immortal character to gain any information about the mud. As immortals perform services to the MUD, such as writing zones, they may be advanced in level. The highest immortals, the true gods of the mud, are bound only by their own code of honor. The rules they set for lower gods express how they expect the mud to be run. Do not ask them to do thing lower gods are not allowed to do, as they may get irritated.

**** THINK carefully before you ask to become an IMMORTAL! *****

Many people find it VERY boring. You can't group with friends, can't kill stuff, can't cast spells on mortals, and can't explore anything. Even what you say to others becomes restricted, as you may have privileged information, and are considered to be representing the MUD when you speak to mortals. Unless you wish to write zones or do other work on the mud, immortality is rather pointless.
