MUD has a standard hierarchy of levels, and you can immediately tell what
level a player is because, except for novices, a player's level is included
as part of their name, eg. Nero the Hero. There are two streams of
levels dependent on whether you are a magic-user or not (ie. whether you
have touched the touchstone successfully or not). There are also two classes
of persona, protected and normal.
A protected persona cannot attack or be attacked by another player. This
makes it ideal for exploring and socialising. However, there is a penalty
in that protected personae cannot reach wizard/witch level (unless
MUD has been specifically set up to allow it, which is rarely the case).
Instead, when
they obtain 102,400 points, they lose their protected status and two thirds
of their points (because it's much easier to score points as a protected persona).
To become a protected persona, issue the command VOW in the Tearoom. To cease
being one, UNVOW from the Tearoom (NB: you will still lose two thirds of your
points!).
The tables which follow list all the levels in the game, and the points
required to achieve those levels.
