How to Play
Join Untold Dawn's Discord
Untold Dawn is currently in its alpha stage, and requires an application. Please join our Discord to apply for play.
Experience in RPIs is not mandatory! Untold Dawn welcomes players that are new to the genre.
Apply to Play
Once you've joined the Discord, you can open a request/ticket (#requests) and answer the following questions:
- What is your experience with RPIs or mandatory roleplay environments?
- If you do not have any experience in RPIs or mandatory roleplay environments, what has motivated you to give it a try?
- Have you ever staffed or contributed to another RPI community?
- Have you ever ever been banned or have had problems in other RPI communities? If you have been banned please be forthcoming, otherwise your application will be automatically denied.
- Do you have a vague idea of your character concept? This does not need to be detailed, and staff are happy to give you a few ideas!
- How did you hear about Untold Dawn?
- Do you know any of the players in the community?
Please Note: Untold Dawn is an invitation-only game in an attempt to foster a community with high quality roleplay and without toxicity. To be able to access Untold Dawn, a layer of trust is expected to be built during the invitation process. Please be as transparent as you can in your application.
Application Accepted! What's Next?
Once you have been accepted for play, you will be able to create characters at will in Untold Dawn without having to re-apply.
If you already have a MUD client or a web client, you can connect to the following address:
Host: untold-dawn.com
Port: 4000
You will only need the basics to get through chargen: a character first name, preferred pronouns, short description, and a very brief physical description. Your character is then 'created' in the Staging Area, allowing you to view tutorials/tips, set detailed descriptions for your character's body (optional), write a biography, and familiarize yourself with commands, all at your own pace.
Staff are here to help! Reach out to them with the 'wish' command. You may also use that command to notify them when you're ready to enter the game world as a newly woken Colonist of Artemis.
