Title: Erm... New Description Protocol
Post by: Aldiel on June 28, 2013, 01:28:27 AM
Erm... What is the protocol for getting a new long description.  My character has aged like twenty years since I logged in last; it also seems I have forgotten everything in that time because I can't remember what I used to do to get a new description?  Lol.  Do I wish up in game?  Or submit an order, but where is that now. Please advise.

Submit a request through the request tool on the main page.

There's "long" description, and there's "main" description. The main description (mdesc) is broken down into two parts: the real actual main description, and the t(emporary) description - aka tdesc.

The long description, aka ldesc, you can set yourself.

You can also add a brief sentence on the end of your existing main description to reflect a temporary change via the tdesc command - whether long term or short.

If you want to change the real actual mdesc, you'd need to submit a request to the staff via the request tool.

Help files are available for all three.

In addition to what the others have posted, it will be much easier for staff to oblige in your request if you make the modifications minor in nature. Things such as greying hair, less build and other small changes will be more likely to get approved than major changes to your character.

If you mean your main or short description instead of your long description (the descriptions you entered when creating your character), check out help description change (http://www.armageddon.org/help/view/Description%20Change).
If by chance you do actually mean your long description, "The tall muscular man <this part that follows after is the long description>, then check out help change ldesc (http://www.armageddon.org/help/view/Change%20Ldesc).
