When we upgraded from version 3.67 to 3.68 a whole lot of nifty things were added that we believe will greatly enhance immersion and playability. Did you know that when we make significant changes the system lets you know about it? If you see (news) at the end of your prompt, that means there's new stuff to discover, simply by typing the word "news" and hitting enter! The list of cool stuff is rather long, so here's some of our favorites.
** Added a new command to cancel all pending (queued) commands. For example
a fighting player that has spammed 10 kick or spell commands can type
'--' to cancel them all so they can instead flee.
** New automap shows a small ascii map to the right of room descriptions.
Toggle automap on to enable. There is also a new map command that can
show a larger map area.
** You will now be immediately notified when you have new mail, when coming
back from AFK and reconnecting.
** New toggles: autoloot, autogold, autosplit, autosac, and autoassist.
** You can now use the history command to see a log of all channels.
** You can now "look around" to see anything of interest in the room. But,
some things may still be hidden and require further investigation.
** The "track" function will show you the first step on the shortest path to
anyone in the game.
IF YOU LEAVE THE GAME FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, either by renting or plain
quitting, your hit points, move points, and mana will be fully restored
when you come back! This doesn't work if you're poisoned.
** Use the SPLIT command to split gold among the members of your group
(including yourself) who are in the room. i.e. If you are in a group
with 4 other people who are in the room with you, type "SPLIT 100"
to give each of them 20 coins.
