Heré

“How did I get Heré?” Mark shakes a coffee can of scratched bottle caps. Yours hits the dirt. At 18, with a hard freeze close and nothing formal taught beyond reading, you get pushed from Last Light Camp toward Bradford with a baseball bat and a Lore Book.

OpenStreetMap roads and waterways inspire this fictional mixed-era world. The original camp, town and quests remain intact. Camp, elevation, interiors, waterworks overlook and military airfield story are fictional.

Movement, energy and exact XP rules

Dexterity starts at Level 0 and unlocks at Level 1 after your first six running microtiles. Flat walking then gives 0.00003 XP per microtile; uphill walking gives 0.0001. Running gives 0.0001 per six microtiles, or 0.0002 when that six-step group includes an uphill segment. Fractional drops appear briefly; your total XP only appears after one whole XP.

Energy regenerates 1% per hour of observed, visible game-session runtime. Offline time and paused background timers give no recovery. The game does not log you out for idling. Running costs 0.02% per microtile plus 0.0002% per carried load unit; worn gear is excluded. Inventory quantities count as game load units, not kilograms. Mountain elevation is fictional.

New Dexterity progression uses exact integer units of 10⁻⁸ XP. Level 99 is Mersenne prime M61: 2⁶¹ − 1 XP; Level 92 is exactly half that amount. Post-99 XP can reach a googol (10¹⁰⁰). There is no largest number. Existing Cooking, Melee, inventory and quest saves retain their legacy rules. This remains a local browser game, not an authenticated MMORPG server.

HERÉ:MUD

01

Books teach Heré

Reading is your one foundational education. Lore Books are planned as the honest path into future knowledge—never invisible unlocks.

02

The home castle

Kabob’s at the Option House anchors Bradford: basement, Floors 1–4, roof, stairs, and one extremely locked bank vault.

03

Presence now, systems later

An optional accountless room can show up to six ephemeral positions. Trade, PvP, inventories, and player shops still require a real authenticated backend.

Iron pellets are game-only Heré currency: earned in play, never purchasable, cashable, redeemable for food/gift cards/prizes, or convertible to Arcade credits or any cross-game value. Future real-money trading is prohibited.
