The switch has been made and we're live. TGMUD.NET should work but if for whatever reason it doesn't the IP address 104.168.7.122 will do. To make a new account:

• new
• name of the account (it does not replace a character)
• password for the account
• add alts name
• alts password

Repeat for all your alts, you can add or remove later. Then when you're ready to login, use the name or the number of the alt you want and there you go.

We are pleased to announce that alongside our scheduled code update on Wednesday, December 24th 2025, we will be migrating to a new server to improve the long-term stability and performance of the game. This transition comes with the full support and blessing of Trellan, our longtime server administrator. Trellan remains an invaluable part of our team, and we continue to rely on his deep expertise in server maintenance and game operations. However, due to health-related, life and other constraints, he is no longer able to give his full attention to the server needs. In the spirit of shared responsibility, our staff will now assist in sharing the administrative responsibilities to ensure consistent operation and faster issue resolution.

The new server has been carefully selected for improved performance and redundancy. For players, the migration should be seamless. The only expected interruption will be approximately an hour of downtime during the migration to safely transfer all character data so no progress will be lost. This will coincide with the code update.

We are excited about this step forward in improving your gameplay experience and are deeply grateful to Trellan for his years of dedication and guidance. Together, we are committed to maintaining a stable, enjoyable environment for all.

Upcoming Code Updates

We will be implementing player ACCOUNTS next week on Wednesday 24 December 2025. This feature will allow you to connect all your characters to a single account with several features in the account system that will let you edit without logging into the game AND swap DT between characters on your account! (With no DT tax!) This will also allow players to have account level settings for color modes, prompts and screenreader settings. You will be able to ADD any of your existing characters to the account.

There will be no PC loss in this process.

We will also have a number of additional features that we are implementing at the same time including (but not limited to):

1. Quality of Life improvements for screenreader functions
2. Expanded "Spells" command that will allow you to filter spells by type for easier spell searching.
3. Expanded RPSTATS: Initiative and Spell DC linked to stats.
4. Divine Token purchasing! No more need for staff intervention.
5. Quietlook - look at someone without informing the whole room.
6. 6. Lots of bug fixes and backend stuff.

12/07/2025

The team has been working hard on issues for your enjoyment (and game stability).

Bug Fixes

1. Traps will no longer crash the game. They are about half fixed. You can create, save, disarm and set a trap in a room. They dont, however, damage the victim. Be on the lookout for future updates here to get the traps fully functional! see help trap
2. Fixed several memory leaks for improved game stability.
3. Background clean up of code to allow for cleaner build process.

New and Updated Features

1. Updated the Pregnancy code to reflect the current races and added new functionality.

• Contractions stop will give some flexibility on the timing for your babies and thus your roleplay.
• Breedinfo (race) is updated to reflect the current breeding partners.
• Some races are capable of large litters.
help/helplist.txt
• New Immortal Commands in the background.

2. Smithing has been updated to make it more equitable with other equipment.

• Smithed items now focus on the "Core Stats", Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Wisdom, Intelligence, Charisma and Luck.
• Core Stats are capped at a max of 50 at level 100 for the highest quality items.
• Secondary stats focus on Spell Hitroll of Logic and Intuition. These are capped at 25.
• Items can now have IRV on them. Each wear slot has the chance of 1 or more different kinds of IRV. The type of item and wear slot affects what kind of IRV. This means that smithed items may have IRV in wear slots not allowed by relics.
• Any Gem can now be used on any slot. In addition, the stats are additional to the stats described above giving blacksmiths and others more flexibility.

If you find any issues, please let me know! We are working to ensure everything works well. We are addressing bugs and working to put in new features and update existing features for easier use.
