How do I become an immortal?
Long hours of effort lie between a newbie and an immortal. Extensive game knowledge is an important factor among many. Please refer to the 'help immortal application' help file in the game for the road ahead.

Why do gods get curt and brief with me when I ask questions?
Most of the time that immortals are on, they are doing things to improve the game and are quite busy. Most simple questions should be directed toward other players as they can help you if they have more playing experience than you do. More difficult questions can be directed to heroes (level 31 immortals) as they have a good knowledge of the game and can find someone to answer your question if they cannot. Questions that definitely should be avoided are:

• Is a specific immortal here?
  If you cannot see them, they are probably busy improving the mud for you!
• Why are we rebooting?
  Usually only a few people know anyway, or it is just for routine machine maintenance so there is no good answer there.
• Can you repop a zone for me?
  Each zone has it's own repop time that is specified by the zone creator and is not meant to be changed.
• Can you move me to (insert town name here)?
  Again immortals are not supposed to interfere in mortal affairs so not matter how much they would like to help you, they really cannot because there are rules that apply to immortals as well.
• Can you lend me some money?
  Immortals are not allowed to give items, money or favors to any mortal
• How come I failed spell x y times in a row?
  Could be any number of things or just bad luck, immortals generally can't answer this for you.
• Can you delete/ban/noshout/abuse player X?
  Just because someone is bothering you does not mean he has done something against the rules, be more specific.
