Voluntary Access Fee, or VAF, is the way that 3 Kingdoms keeps running. The game is free, but those lovely people who run the mud ask that you consider making a contribution to the costs of running the mud.

As a reward for your generosity, there are a large number of bonuses you can gain through spending VAF points.

For more information, type ''help vaf''.

  ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

We humbly request Voluntary Access Fees (VAFs) from any of our players
willing to pay them, with each $1 getting you 1 VAF credit.  You are not
required to pay a VAF to play 3Kingdoms (hence the 'voluntary' part),
but without them to take care of operating costs, 3K can't exist to be
played, so you can do the math.  We rely on the generosity of the player
community, players like you, to keep 3Kingdoms running for the good of
everyone.  It's kind of like PBS, but with monsters.  As a bonus for
VAFs given, you are afforded a number of choice rewards that are listed
at the bottom.  Once you are credited with your VAFs, you can then spend
the credits in the Vault of Ancient Fables, which you can reach by
'kneel'ing at the Center of Town.  There, the Guardian Atriel will
assist you in your selections.  If you have multiple characters, any
VAFs given will be applied to the group, meaning that any of your
characters will then be able to draw from your shared VAF pool. 
Basically, your VAFs are tied to the person controlling the characters,
rather than a specific character.  Once you spend a VAF on an
enhancement, however, that enhancement is tied to that character alone
(with some noted exceptions).  VAFs are not transferrable between
players (humans), and if all characters are wiped for whatever reason,
all VAFs attributed to that character/set of characters are wiped also.


To pay online, use the below link.  Your credits will appear within 24
hours, but usually much sooner than that.  For any issues, "mail VAFS"
for support.

 Goto http://www.3k.org and then click the Gold 3K VAF icon

Be sure to include '3K' and your character's name in the notes.
(e.g. '3K Barnaby').  Only VAF in whole dollars, as rogue cents will be
truncated.  You can check your VAF status at any time by using the 'vaf'
command.  You can also learn more details about the individual
enhancements below by typing 'vaf <enhancement>'
