'''FAME''' is used to access a character's fame. The Fame system is an antiquated relic from GemStone III, when fame grew at an even faster rate. Players can opt their character in or out of the fame lists using the [[SET]] verb. SET FAME ON to join the lists, SET FAME OFF to remove from the lists. After turning fame on, players must CHECK IN at the local inn to be counted or to update their fame total. Fame will not update on the lists automatically.

When you are victorious in combat, solve a quest, or accomplish certain other tasks, you gain FAME. FAME is a measure of your fame in Elanthia. Being famous won't help you kill things or change your character in any other way, but you can brag about it and every now and then it may help you or hurt you to be famous.</pre>
Historical note: as of 9 January 1995, the ENTIRE fame list--every character in GemStone, ever--was comprised of 2123 names; only 1105 of them had 100,000 fame or more. (Reminder: in the current system, the list is the top 1000.) Gender was not recorded at that time, and of course the races/professions still had the old ([[ICE age]]) names.


==Usage==
Many of these names are now known as [[Co-operative Houses of Elanthia|House]] founders (Enegue, Starsnuffer), or legends in their own right for deeds done & items owned (Sagan, Kree, Jesh, Thalior), or have creatures named after them ([[Bresnahanini rolton|Artuero]]). Compare these names to the goblets in the Legends' Bar in Hearthstone, for example.
===By Itself===
Typing {{boldmono|FAME}} by itself will output one's personal fame.

FAME
Type System
System Character mechanics

FAME is used to access a character's fame. The Fame system is an antiquated relic from GemStone III, when fame grew at an even faster rate. Players can opt their character in or out of the fame lists using the SET verb. SET FAME ON to join the lists, SET FAME OFF to remove from the lists.

Many activities that reward experience also reward fame, such as earning a guild rank or resurrecting an adventurer. Fame has little use in game. Access to Hearthstone Manor requires certain thresholds of fame. The fame lists are also popular ranks of adventurers by profession or race.

In 2025 the fame lists were cleared. Fame was preserved, but the fame lists were cleared. For posterity, the historical lists can be found on the fame list snapshots.
