3Scapes lives on more than one server. Drop into our Discord for chat, bug reports and announcements, or catch up on longer discussions over on the forums. 3Scapes also shares its codebase and history with an older sibling MUD, 3Kingdoms, still going strong after all these years.

3Scapes is listed on Mudconnect, one of the biggest directories mudders use to find their next game, and a daily vote there is one of the cheapest ways to help newcomers stumble across us. Cast one at tinyurl.com/tmc-3s — it takes a few seconds and costs nothing but a click.

• Treat other players and staff decently — harassment, threats and abusive language toward the community aren't tolerated.
• Found a bug? Report it instead of exploiting it, even quietly; using it to your advantage counts as abuse too.
• Don't pass along quest knowledge, hand over quest items, or otherwise carry someone else through a quest you've already finished.
• One human, one character logged in at a time — sharing a login or controlling characters someone else created isn't allowed.
• No scripted botting: if a command fires and you're not actually at the keyboard, that's against the rules (anti-idle scripts are frowned on too, if punished more lightly).
• Register with a real, working email address, since an account without one can be wiped without warning.

That's the gist — the complete, current wording is always available in-game by typing help rules.

3Scapes is, and always will be, free to play — nothing on the game is locked behind payment. What keeps the servers running is players opting to chip in a Voluntary Access Fee; see ~/vaf for what that means and how it works.
