Sometimes, you may find the need to convey something to Sapience in general or to someone who is currently not in the realms. | |||
==Shouts== | ==Shouts== | ||
Shouts are the cheapest form of mass communication available. To shout, one must first find a Ram's Horn. They're located all over Sapience, usually in places of high altitude such as the Vashnars. Placing exactly 100 gold in the Horn (PUT 100 gold IN HORN) allows you to SHOUT <message> across Sapience for everyone who is not deaf to hear. | |||
Shouting is generally anonymous unless the shouter identifies themselves, or is a Dragon, or the listener has the ability of Recognition in [[Vision]]. Depending on your level or the level of others, the shouting voice will be different, you may use STAT to see what your own voice will be like. | |||
It is also noted that your shout is only of a finite length and attempting too lengthy a shout may cause you to momentarily pass out. | |||
==Messages== | ==Messages== | ||
Messages are favoured by many adventurers as a free long distance form of one to one communication. Certain places in Sapience are considered 'off plane' or just too far away for people to communicate via tells, hence the use of messages. Achaea's administration or system also sends messages on occasion for a variety of reasons, including items decaying, or bestowing and loss of Divine Favours while you are not in game. | |||
When you receive a message, you will be alerted either with the in game alert: | |||
'You just received message # from Playername.' if you are in game at the time receiving or '*** You have new messages ***' if you received the messages while not in the game. | |||
In order to read the message you may use RM or READMSG to read the first unread message, or MSG READ # to read a specific message. | |||
Should you wish to send someone a message simply MSG <person> <your message>. | |||
There is a whole slew of things you can do with the MSG function. Simply entering MSG without a target will reveal all the possible actions to be done with this syntax. | |||
==Postal System & Letters== | ==Postal System & Letters== | ||
One way for adventurers to communicate with each other is through Achaea's postal system. Letters may be sent to anyone, no matter where they stand on the continent. To begin correspondence, find a postal office and, with 100 gold in your hands, REQUEST LETTER. You may then WRITE LETTER to enter Achaea' editor, or PUT <item> IN <letter> to deliver a fun gift! When you are finished, MAIL LETTER TO <person>. | One way for adventurers to communicate with each other is through Achaea's postal system.
