Frequently-Asked Questions
How do I get money?
For newbies, probably your best approach is to answer
survey questions. The Surveyors
will reward you with game bucks for each question you answer.
For experienced players, you can make pretty good bucks reporting verifiable
bugs.
We reward you on a sliding scale depending on the severity of the bug. We'd like
to hope that this will become an increasingly scarce source of income over time.
Meanwhile, with things developing so quickly, you're our QA department. Go to town!
If you like to write, the TriadCity online newspaper,
The Adventurer,
will pay for your published articles with your choice of Dinars or experience
points. Their
submission guidelines
have the full scoop.
Many merchants will
buy Items from you. Use the
Value
command to find out what they'll offer. Experienced characters can often help
you learn which merchants are interested in which Items.
You can
buy
game bucks from the web site. You shouldn't need to do this for ordinary
play. Just if you're impatient and you want something really expensive. Or
if you simply want to support TriadCity by helping us with a few dollars. Either
way, we very much appreciate your participation.
There are possibilities of finding Dinars lying around on the ground,
inside containers, and so on. Explore, explore, and explore some more.
It's a good guess that the harder it is to find a particular cache of
loot, the bigger it is.
You should note that very few NPCs carry money. Many
hack-and-slash MUDs reward violence by providing NPCs with convenient quantities
of cash which you can loot from their corpses -- turning every player into
a vicious mugger, essentially. We tend not to reward violence in these
atavistic ways; and we think it makes no sense at all for pigeons
to carry Dinars. So, they don't.
