A new command to help roleplayers find each other for RP has been added, called "roleplaying".

With it you can set an action and your location on the Disc to allow others to find you for RP scenarios.

Those who have set a roleplaying location will also show up in "who roleplayers".

Business has been going slow for J. Smyttles, shop keeper at the general store in Ohulan-Cutash. His wares are collecting dust on the shelves and he could really need some help selling them. Won't someone help this poor man out!

Furthermore, Miss Pennie Laced has moved into town. Fellow citizens of Ohulan-Cutash have reported to seeing her wandering the streets aimlessly, as if looking for something she lost. It's been made very clear to this reporter that she's definitely NOT wearing a wi...

The finger and refer commands and finger web page have undergone a revamp. We hope that the addition of mxp and better weblinks will enhance your clicking experiences. Players will also have more visibility of ongoing development activities when viewing information for creators and domains. Please don't distract creators from their coding by asking them about obscure project names.

Some inconsistencies which have come to light in the way the stone-skinned races were damaging weapons have been resolved.

You have been warned, but only because I'm in a good mood today.

Some senior Unseen University Wizards have pinned down the details of an AshkEnte ceremony after the discovery of a spell book in the depths of the library. See 'help ashkente' for a description of their findings.

As determined so far by scores of disappointed Wizards in search of the perfect roasted leg of lamb, the only request Death will consider is from a player who has died one time too many, asking to be raised from the dead.

The components required for the Rite can be found in the finest...
