Alter Aeon FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

FAQ 9.2 - What's a ground string?

A ground string is what other people see when they find you in the same
place as them.  For example, if you enter a room where the player Conan
is, you may see this as Conan's ground string:

Conan is here.

You may also see players that have different ground strings, such as
the high level player Tarrant:

Tarrant, undead count of Merentha, stands before you.
