- Please no drama, no toxic stuff etc. Respect each other. Let everyone play and enjoy.
- Respect legacy of Solace: roleplay.
- Strictly follow ALL RULES.

Consider clans closed for now. Write a role indicating you'd love a certain clan; you might be inducted at some point (don't worry about your level).

Coming soon: a solution for solo mages level grind. Multicharring is NOT allowed (see above about following all rules).

Cheers!

I wish to use my laptop for Solace when I'm out and away from the office, but laptops have no nice easy keypad for n, s, e and w and everything is a bit cramped. Does anyone know of a special lap-top based MUD client that someone more clever than myself designed to fix such a boggle? Smiley

At any major electronics store you can buy wireless number-pads that will connect via USB.
I have these for some statistical projects. I also use it to walk around MUD... I think we can all agree that typing each letter is way too much of a pain.

If you use JMC, you place it into HOTKEYS.
