#HELPFILEDATA colourcode ` security 7 END #HELPENTRIES keyword CLASS CLASSES STATUS~ title Classes~ category undefined~ see_also SLAVES CITIZENS HEROES DEMIGODS~ text In Athens there are five main classes of people: Slaves are people owned by the government. (personally owned slaves are portrayed by mobiles) Citizens own themselves and have special rights and responsibilities. Heroes are Citizens who have gained much experience through trials. Demigods have proven themselves to be the best in all of Greece. Gods are the immortal few who keep the world in order. ~ last_editor Hera~ last_editdate 1112267507 END keyword INFO PREMISE CP POINTS CREATION-POINTS~ category undefined~ see_also LEVEL~ text The Athens skill system allows you to fully customise your character, making him or her skilled in the skills you choose. But be aware that the skills you pick at character creation are the only skills your character will start with, you will be able gain other skills during game play though. When creating skills are paid for with creation points, and the more creation points you have, the harder it is to gain a level. Furthermore, higher-cost skills are harder to practice. Skill groups are like package deals for characters -- sets of skills or spells that are closely related, and hence can be learned as a unit. There is a default skill group for each class, which can be selected for a balanced selection of skills - sometimes at a reduced cost. The experience breakdown is as follows: `GPoints Exp/lvl Points Exp/lvl`=? 40 1000 90 6000 50 1500 100 8000 60 2000 110 12000 70 3000 120 16000 80 4000 130 24000 The table continues in a similar manner for higher point totals. Some races and classes have a minimum Exp/lvl above 1000.

'Demokratia', from which we get our word 'democracy', means 'rule by the people'. Any man with full citizen rights could go to the assembly, where they could speak and vote freely. Public debates like this decided how the city was run. In Athens the mud, players with a class of citizen have some rights that slaves do not. There are jobs, quests, and an entire political system only for citizens. But with great benefits comes responsibility. Male citizens are required to serve at least two tours with the military. There are yearly festivals for athletics, drama and religious occasions. The city pays for these using taxes, but the wealthiest citizens are obliged to give extra help. Rich citizens consider it an honour to pay for the performers fees in the many drama festivals. Similarly they may have to serve as captains of a warship for a year, paying the crew and making repairs. Some rich men tried to hide their wealth to get out of their public duties. Shameful behaviour! ~ last_editor Hera~ last_editdate 1101930014 END keyword APPLICATION-REMORT APPLY-REMORT REMORT~ title Remort Applications~ category undefined~ text The Remorts Council is responsible for administering the Quest required to gain LETHERO status and thus be able to successfuly gain Hero Level and Remorting.

This position is currently held by `CZeus`x. ~ last_editor Hera~ last_editdate 1112267178 END keyword SLAVE SLAVES~ title Slave Class~ category undefined~ text All new players start out with the class of slave. Slaves are owned by the government and therefore do not have all of the rights and responsibilities that citizens do. Slaves do not pay taxes. They are limited in their career choices to those jobs that are more labor-intensive. Those with the class of slave can purchase homes and own property however. Certain quests may provide a slave with citizenship. Slaves may also find ways to purchase their citizenship at a high cost of gold. Remarkable military service or performance in games festivals may also result in a slave being granted citizenship. ~ last_editor Hera~ last_editdate 1112269225 END keyword CITIZEN CITIZENS CITIZENSHIP~ title Citizens~ category undefined~ text Citizens are free men and women who have been granted special rights and responsibilities by the government. They pay taxes on a regular basis. They have more career choices then those of the class slave. Citizens can own homes and property. Citizens will find new quests are available to them that are not given out to slaves. One must go through citizenship if they want to ever become a hero. ~ last_editor Hera~ last_editdate 1112268033 END keyword HERO HEROES~ title Heroes~ category undefined~ see_also APPLY-REMORT~ text Heroes are individuals of remarkable character and actions. They have progressed past the stage of being recognized as a citizen to become one of the few outstanding mortals who have accomplished nearly impossible tasks. Heroes have all the rights and responsibilities that citizens have. They are not penalized for fleeing combat. To become a hero, a citizen must apply to the remort council. ~ last_editor Hera~ last_editdate 1112268405 END keyword DEMIGODS DEMIGODS DEMI-GOD DEMI-GODS~ title Demigods~ category undefined~ see_also APPLY-REMORT~ text Demigods are at the peak of mortal perfection. They are nearly gods themselves, having powers of their own and travel freely in and out of Mount Olympus. They are above the need for paying taxes or penalization for fleeing combat. They have been a hero not once, but twice. As per Greek tradition, being judged worthy enough through two hero lives is the bare minimum requirement for applying to be a demigod. ~ last_editor Hera~ last_editdate 1112268795 END EOF~ #$
