The Vast Frequently Asked Questions |
|
Death, Dying, and Returning to Life I died and went to the Fugue Plane. How do I get out? When you die, you leave behind a death corpse object. Inside of this object is a body item (which weighs 130 lbs.) that a player can carry. Another player must use his character to bring your death corpse item to an NPC to be raised from the dead, or find a PC cleric to cast Raise Dead or Resurrection on your character's body. When you are raised from the dead, your spirit is pulled by divine magic back from the Fugue Plane to the land of the living. Making friends IC is extremely important on any server that uses this sort of death system. Good friends will make sure your body is safely brought to a cleric. I died and went to the Fugue Plane, and was stripped of my possessions. Where are my items? When you die, your items are dropped in a bag object next to your death corpse. You will need your friends to collect and keep your items for you until you are brought back to life. My death corpse item is lost. How do I get another one? Visit our forums. You will find a sticky thread at the top of the General Discussion section in which you can request a new body from the DMs. What are the options when being raised from the dead by an NPC? It depends upon the NPC your body is brought to for revival. The higher level NPCs can cast higher level spells. The three spell options are:
Having an NPC cast any of these spells will require a donation of gold pieces. The cost varies depending upon the spell being cast, and upon the level of the NPC caster. What NPCs are capable of bringing me back to life? In Dragon
Dale:
In River Vesper Landing:

Logging Onto the Server When looking on Gamespy, where will I find the server? The Vast is listed under Role Play. The server name is, "Forgotten Realms", and the module name is, "The Vast". I keep getting a message that I am booted when I try to join, why? When the player spaces are full, you will be booted until there is a player space available. Please do not "hammer" the server in your attempts to join, as it can produce extra lag in game. It is best to wait between attempts to join. Why was the server passworded the other day? When we are manually restarting the server, we will apply a password so no more players will join during the process. Occasionally we also apply a password for a couple of minutes after a reset so that the module has a chance to fully load before everyone rushes on. Additionally, on the rare occasion, we may password the server for a specific special event. In this case, you will either find the password in our forums, or you will be given the password by a DM. |
