Nanvaent FAQ: Death and Killing
Please mail all questions to faq@nanvaent.org.
It says I died, do I have to start again?
No. Every player is granted 9 lives at the beginning, and death is
common among the less experienced. When you die you become
a ghost: you can still float around, talk and do all that non-bodily stuff,
but you cannot hold things or fight or anything you wouldn't expect a
ghost to do. So, you are wondering what do I do now... the answer is to type
pray - this will take
you back to Nanvaent Village. A little word of advice here: if you were killed
by a player, don't be in a hurry to pray and hurry back to your corpse.
Player killers often possess a low animal cunning, lurking in the vicinity
to try to catch you again while you're weak and defenceless, and you will
die again... and again, and again, if you're slow on the uptake. Get yourself
together before you pray and think about what you are doing.
It says I can only die 2 more times, what happens then?
It means you will die completely after 2 more deaths. Completely means
COMPLETELY, ie GAME OVER, MAN! You will not be able to pray or
get resurrected again. If you so choose you will be able to haunt
Nanvaent as a ghost...
At this point your best choice is to use the
refresh command, which will
return you to level 0 and reset most things. You will keep all your
aliases, nicknames and mail etc. You could also suicide your character
using the suicide command,
this is as bad as it sounds, it deletes everything about your
character and you will no longer exist.
A PLAYER killed me! Is that allowed?
Yes, I am afraid so. This may seem unfair when you are the victim, but
this is part of Nanvaent, always has been and always will be. You will
find there are restrictions on killing other players and it is neither
encouraged or discouraged, it is up to you. One thing that is frowned
upon is when a player is killed over and over by the same people when
the victim is clearly not enjoying it. For more information on Player
Killing see the questions on the Book of Blood idea.
How can I kill players?
Whereas killing players may provide hours of thrilling entertainment
to the some, others do not share this enjoyment. Nanvaent does not
actively discourage player killing and although we do not encourage it
either, we will not give you any help in doing the dirty deed. You
will have to learn the tricks of the trade the hard way.
An addicts second character killed me! Is that allowed?
Yes and no. It's always a source of confusion when something like
this occurs. An addict is not allowed to use his superior knowledge
solely to harm and kill other players. Knowledge of the game is one of
the greatest weapons on Nanvaent, so when an experienced player starts
a new character they are not really on even terms with a true
newbie. There are measures to combat this - you will find age and quest
points can help you, so an experienced player starting a new character
cannot simply advance fast and be very powerful. You will also find
that there is no substitute for knowledge and experience though :-)
So, back to the question, an addict is not allowed to use a second
character for the sole purpose of killing other players or stealing
from other players. This does not mean they cannot kill a player. If
you think an addict is acting irresponsibly then you should report him
or her and let us decide.
I died and now my stats are lower than they were, is this permanent?
No, it is just the shock of having been dead. You will be fine soon.
