Player Help Archive:

All help articles available in-game via the 'help' command are displayed here. This list is frequently appended so if a wanted topic does not exist it is suggested that an in-game mail is sent to the *ideas board suggesting what topic is needed.

Help on commands:

Commands are typed in an english style, eg "get item from desk". To see what commands are available, type EXAMINE HERE (to view room commands), EXAMINE NAMEOFITEM (to see actions you can take with an item), or ACTIONS (to view combat actions granted by your equipped gear).

OPEN/CLOSE - Some directions you can travel in have doors which must be opened before you can travel that way, there is a preference which if set to on will automatically make your character open any doors when you travel in the direction of the door if it is unlocked.
