If you do not understand the difference between these two options and you just know that you want a complete 'MajorMUD reset' then take a full backup of your system and choose the second option: full reset.

Partial Reset

If you wish to reset all of the users on your board while maintaining the current map environment, follow these steps:

📌 NOTE
Only choose this option if you *KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING* and know that you want it reset in this manner.
  1. Copy WCCUSERS.VIR to WCCUSERS.DAT
  2. Copy WCCGANGS.VIR to WCCGANGS.DAT
  3. Copy WCCBANKS.VIR to WCCBANKS.DAT
  4. Run the MajorMUD offline utilities and choose clear plus data to clear the MajorMUD plus registries and descriptions.
  5. Run the BBS and IMMEDIATELY choose C for Clear all saved evil points on the sysop menu. NOTE: This must be done prior to anyone creating new characters.
  6. Immediately following C, choose CP to clear all the saved profile information. NOTE: This must also be done prior to anyone creating new characters.
  7. Choose R to re-index the limited items from the sysop menu.

Full Reset

If you wish to completely reset and start from scratch, follow these steps:
