# Is there role playing?

No. Ishar MUD does not require role-playing.

# What about my equipment when I log out?

When you sign out or log off, your character's equipment, gear, and inventory is simply preserved until the end of each season.

# Is death permanent?

You can choose your game type (either Classic, or Survival mode) each time that you create a new player character!

While survival mode gains experience faster, classic mode subtracts experience upon death, but allows you to retrieve your character's corpse.

# Can I have multiple characters or multi-play?

You can have up to ten (10) player characters per account!

You may actively multi-play three (3) characters at once. Only one account is allowed per person!

# Is there player-killing (PK) or player-versus-player (PvP) combat?

Yes and no. While player-versus-player combat (or PK'ing) is possible, it is uncommon, and not a requirement of the game.
