How to Obtain a CauldronMUX Account

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CAREFULLY BEFORE TRYING TO APPLY FOR AN ACCOUNT

Important Note: You do not need an account to chat on CauldronMUX, you can log in as a guest to chat or to just wander around the mux.

To obtain an account on CauldronMUX you must meet the following requirements:

You must be a member in good standing of our message board (i.e. you need an account here and cannot be banned, gagged or have a record of rules violations)
You must have a post count of at least 15 substansive messages to this board and have basic information in your profile filed out (general location, current religion)
The email address you have your account set to in Settings MUST be a real address that you can access as your CauldronMUX password will be sent to that account.

If you are not familiar with CauldronMUX, please connect as a guest a few times to be sure you are interested before asking for an account. You can connect by telneting (or pointing your MU* client) to mux.ecauldron.net port 24201 or by using our Java client in your browser. You can find out more about CauldronMUX and how to connect on our "About CauldronMUX" web page.

DO NOT REQUEST AN ACCOUNT IN THIS THREAD -- ALL SUCH REQUESTS WILL BE IGNORED. Instead, apply via email sent via this message board by following this procedure:

To apply for an account, click on the envelope in the left border of this message (below the Avatar) in the "From" line at the top of this message. This will bring up an email window (if you get a PM window, you are in the wrong plce). Type "Account Request" in the subject line. In the body of the email, simply state that you will follow all of The Cauldron's rules and ask for an account on CauldronMUX. Please give the name you would like used for the account. (You may give a second choice, if you wish, just in case your first choice is taken). Send the email.

Our wizards will create your account and reply to your email with your password -- this is why it is important to check to be sure your email address in our records is correct and active before sending in your request as this is the email address that will be given to the wizards.

Although we aim for a 48 hour account creation turnaround, however, accounts can sometimes take several days to a week to create -- sometimes even longer. Our wizards are volunteers and their work, school, family, etc. all come first. You can connect as a guest until your account is created, however.
