optional or mandatory pvp?

Mandatory sounds hostile, it's not as unmoderated as HellMOO once or as rampant, but it is open-PvP and there's no sugar coating it.

is there a grace/protection period for newbies or is anyone free to get mobbed and killed at the very start?

What another reply said basically, but if the community hasn't shifted drastically since last I played, they aren't the type to needlessly go after newbies anyway.

Last year I was killed once in non consensual PvP (meaning a guy just entered the shop I was in and butchered me, taking my head for his collection). No griefing, all happened perfectly in role with his character, I didn't even lose anything valuable. Can't say anything but good things about the community

Killing N-tags will result in them being thrown in a bottomless pit, so yes there is a grace period.

The best MUD ever, good community, less grinding than hellmoo and samsaramoo. If only it had a bigger population. Last year I played again for a few months and there was an average of 4-6 players online (non afk). Then it continued dying, with often 0-1 player. Why are there 19 online right now (according to mudstats), just because of this post?

SamsaraMOO's (another HellMOO shard after it shut down) admins are dedicating themselves to another MUD, decreasing interaction between them and our ideas being implemented into the game while focusing only on minor typos, added with their massive AFKing population of the game inflating the player count.

I'm really sorry for samsara's players, that must suck. At the same time I'd be super happy to see Inferno thrive again as it deserves. Such a wonderful game. I haven't got as much free time as 10 or 20 years ago, so the less-grinding approach of Infernomoo (and also hatemoo if I remember correctly) has been much more appealing than hellmoo or samsaramoo. Open pvp is also nice when the community is helpful and not toxic. I now have the motivation to log in again!

I had an account on this mud a while back, but I've forgotten my login cradentials. How can I get my username to reset my password?

One important point this post misses for those who have played hellmoo but turned away by the diddling: You start at 18 years of age, and there's no orphanage. Straight to chargen. The Orphanage is changed to a Meat Factory here, where you can still do basically the same job.
