About This Game

City of Ages Code: Safari [framework Visual Basic + 80% SQL Transactions + Win 11 vbDLLs approved by Microsoft] Our game design is similar to top graphical games of the same concept, some laptops don't have a graphical card, here is a text variation to toy with. Our finished client allows you to make macros, edit buttons, you have timers that repeat any command including your Attack target commands [no grind no beating on your keyboard required], or use timers to practice your spells FOR YOU, does the word IDLE game mean anything to you all? Yes it DOES! Its a really great different type of game, play it, I MADE IT! Graphical User Interface Plans Here are special commands a graphical client would require: FM ON OFF STATUS (Filter-mode reduces unnecessary text that screen readers cannot decode to read) [see also: config combat -/+] GM ON OFF STATUS (graphics detailed mode using system GUIDs) SM ON OFF STATUS (scaremode if special-nearby mobiles will randomly aggressive you) DD shows the day description, night is shown too if not the same, with zoom mode MAP XXX BATTLESTATUS [noverbose] tracks all mobiles attacking you or after you - such as raid mobs AC/HR/DR/NAR/SLAY FACTION DATA ATMOZ PETS OBJECTS MOBS PLYR rx ry rz facing-graphicsid this is controlled by your client, run alone for the complete necessary room report on players SCAN LOCATION AREA * New commands to try: When SLEEPing try to DREAM and get a guard quest Do not nightmare, you may experience the learning points of the Black Plague! What was that about learning a point to train with? Its a quest too, just an annoying one. Even bad stuff in the realm leads you to water. - SCRY (creates a tornado item and a few pentagram items) - CHAIN and BOLT attack commands Tip: Make a druid orc or mage orc to try all three! Immersive Points - Main Activities Mimics are a heavy part of our system; during an eclipse drop an object [from a pentagram] with a mimic identified on it and then exorcise them! Our game is incredibly intrincate this way. MAP command if you care to see where you are going, now with a realm weather report Heavy and Advanced EMOTE system which brings in all your pet emote commands into one easy to use command New Years, Halloween, Auzzie Day and other event days have celebrated emote especially at City of Ages Centre FACTIONS are most important to use for thieves or player warn paths to prevent sickness from other factions you are not matched with. COLONISTS, beam them around the realm to fight for you, SS command Alien Abduction extremely rare quest, drop a lollypop on them to win Starships in a true X Y Z in a Universe of Ages - ride your starship to the Guarding x y z locations, spend fuel for cofg different damage causing or healing or static Nebulas Black Plague looms! Healing Myst prevails! I ask you, are you more of a Thief or are you a Guard at heart all player classes can steal at different costs We have slaying weapons and now more to slay with: Missile weapons and Arcane kenetic bolts can slay anything in the realm, with Guard quests and Object hunts we took some grind out of RPG this way. Crafting No leveling required, full access to the forge and crafting system Spellcrafts Craft Transmute tables FORGE command with easy to earn crowns of glory, items rare on their own as well Fast Tracking Waystones to travel you far and fast lie everwhere MARK n RECALL as standard issue commands Stargates back n forth to a true Solar system x1 y1 z1 to destination x2 y2 z2 City of Ages has four parapets with Waystones Magic Words ie. say musho poiet AREA command LOCATION command Door Games Armegaddon SHOWTIME Guess Word Surprizes from Sanded Beckon Birdy Portraits Arcade game Packmon Morphs some have reserved emotes new trigger morph: WITCHLOCKE don't get lazy guards and thiefs!!! Vampyre Werewolf Plantform Cyborg ...also many poof animal transformations Puzzles Merge cards Ankh ring, one ring does rule them all Quest Engines besides the standard give quest item to npc we have... Oracle personal assigned level appropriate quest Chase the object Chase the npc Tornado SMACKDOWN from SCRYing random Thief chests atmoz-death-roulette REVENGE ON HIGH LEVELS the GURU random GUARDING quest Artifical Intelligence Boosted Thief code Guard code RAID mobs Hunting Mode Gambling True Roulette wheel Horse racing simulation Marble City miniCasino portable Dice and Deck of Cards Pets Emote to or Pemote control your pet or Evolve and level your pets. can Disarm traps now Dragon Breath on enemies now Emotes For Role-play we have advanced EMOTES for you and your mountable pets. Gameplay You begin your adventure with medieval weapons including cross/bows/slings and bolts/arrows/and rocks, and move slowly into modern weaponry. There are machineguns/hand phasers and ammo. Starships are fully loaded with weapons/shields and mines, use them as a house or beam down to just about any location in the realm. Stock-market, Golfing [its hilarious to golf grenades around the realm], Stargates, Starships, a tonne of different types of Quest engines, like our infamous ARMEGADDON system quest. As well as normal types of quests, and many built-in Door games. Door games include, a Mini-Casino, a real to life Roulette game, a fun Horse Racing game, one playable Arcade game, GUESS WORD, Dice, and a Deck of Cards. For Role-play we have advanced EMOTES for you and your mountable pets. The creatures of the realm go on city Raids, and will eventually mark you as a bounty over time and then they will try to catch you off guard. Great for those new to Mudding and especially those that played Internet MUDS, and BBS Door games. We have an exact unique identifer system, as well as a perception machine to intice you to read areas with pictures matching by words. This MUD also allows you to link/import your own pictures and sounds, which is not included, for you to find and optionally create. There are loads of free pictures and free sounds found on the web. One of the windows will not work if Graphical User Interface exact mode status is set to [GM off]. Note about Scaremode: SM [ON/OFF/STATUS]: Toggles your scaremode for those that want to chill more, the idea was to keep you moving around the map, invisibility and sneak prevented special-nearby mobiles from falling into hunting mode (and still does), it was the main reason for SNEAK command being movement oriented as opposed to duration timeout based. This is now optional. The MUD is fully finished and fully programmed to automatically run your quests for you. Happy Hunting!
