Frequently-Asked Questions

What are "Levels"; and how do I gain them?

Levels are thresholds of experience and ability, represented in a quantified way. Higher levels are better.

For example, many Skills are available only to characters at or above a certain Level. As you gain Levels, more capabilities become available to you. And these are often more interesting than the basics available to all.

Your character rises to new Levels after accumulating some necessary quantity of Experience. Experience represents accumulated knowledge, lore, and skill, in a fairly abstract way. Your character automatically accumulates Experience as you interact with the Triad world. The Experience tab in your Triad browser window will show you how much you've got, and how much more you need in order to reach the next Level.

Once you've accumulated the necessary Experience, there's a little ritual you have to perform in order to rise to the next Level. Go to the Temple of the King on Sanctuary Island, and bow to the statue there. A message announcing your accomplishment will be automatically broadcast to everyone listening to the Level channel.

Note it's in your interest to level as soon as you've accumulated the required Experience points. The longer you wait, the more additional Experience will be required for you to reach the subsequent level. Level early, level often.

Note there are no limits to the Levels you can achieve.

"... postmodernist fiction also reflects the disruption of [the] landscape by twentieth-century war. War in our century has forced us to rethink the received categories of space, conceptual as well as geographical space; it has taught us to think in terms of zone. The lexicon of war is one of the sources of the term "zone," and certainly the postmodernists have borrowed many of the characteristics of their zone from the zones of military discourse - the war zone, the occupied zone, the demilitarized zone."
