Movement in MUME is accomplished by typing direction commands (n, s, e, w, u, d). Each step between rooms costs movement points.

Movement costs

The cost per step depends on:

• Terrain type — roads cost fewer points than mountains or swamps.
• Encumbrance — carrying more weight increases movement costs significantly.
• Equipment — certain boots reduce movement costs (e.g., fine soft leather boots reduce cost by 16%).
• Race — some races move more efficiently in certain terrain types.

Regeneration

Movement points regenerate while resting or sleeping. Resting is faster than standing; sleeping is fastest. Certain items (cloaks, belts) provide a move regeneration bonus.
