'''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 {{boldmono|[[SET]]}} verb. {{boldmono|SET FAME ON}} to join the lists, {{boldmono|SET FAME OFF}} to remove from the lists.


Many activities that reward [[experience]] also reward fame, such as earning a [[guild]] rank or [[resurrection|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|fame list snapshots]].

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.

===Player===
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.

When looking at the fame numbers, bear in mind that in the late 1990s/early 2000s, all fame values were reduced by 90%. (i.e. While killing a 5th level creature used to return 500 fame, it would now return only 50.) All character fame was likewise reduced. The easiest way to conceptualize this is simply to remove the last digit (of an old fame number), or to add a "0" (at the end of a modern fame number) when comparing.
One can generate a Fame list with various output options, as noted in [[#Usage|Usage]]. These lists are not static and may change regularly throughout any given day.

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.

Help

FAME HELP

Usage: FAME {player|filter|stats} [rank]
    {filter} can be the name of a race, profession, or "ALL".
    [rank]   is at what rank to start viewing the list.
             25 ranks are displayed at a time.

Examples:
    FAME Despil       Would show Despil's fame.
    FAME ALL 100      Would show an unfiltered list of rank 100-124.
    FAME DARKELF 1    Would show the first 25 dark elves starting at rank 1.
    FAME ROGUE 500    Would show the first 25 rogues starting at rank 500.
    FAME STATS        Would show statistics based on the fame list.

The FAME list holds the top 1000 players with the most fame.
Don't see yourself on the list?  Just CHECK IN to your local inn.
