Access Levels
When a character is created, an access level is assigned to them. By default, most characters are mortals with no special powers. Admins can grant the ability to create various levels of immortal characters to specific accounts. Although the names and number of access levels is not modifiable, a custom rule-set can change the powers available to the each of the different access levels.
Default Access Levels: Mortal - The default access level for characters created on a server. Mortals are the normal players and have no special powers. Immortal - The first access level with special in-game powers. Immortals are restricted from many normal game play actions such as combat but have the ability to teleport around the map and change their form. Immortals primary purpose is to police the world by reporting issues to the gods and help new players learn the game. Demi-God – These are assistants to the gods and have the power to drive live content by spawning creatures and items, possessing NPCs, and changing the state of objects in the world. As an admin, you must be very careful who you grant this level of access to since they have the ability to create as many objects as they want including gold. God – These characters have ultimate power across the entire cluster. Many of the extra commands given to gods are for debugging during modding development. They can also shutdown the server through an in-game god command.
Pre-Alpha Note: We have plans to allow gods to assign object creation restrictions and quotas to Demi-gods. By placing a value and a category on the objects they can create, gods could prevent the demi-gods from abusing their power to create objects. For now, just make sure you trust the players you grant this access level to since they have the power to completely unbalance your server. We also plan to allow you to place shard restrictions on Demi-Gods which would essentially only give these players that level of power on a specific shard. If they traveled to a shard they do not have powers on, they would only have access to Immortal powers.
