Additionally, users can control audio settings such as turning off music while keeping sound effects enabled.


There is an option to submit feedback in the client. Please do not use this. '''Use the websites listed above to submit bugs''' as it will allow you to see if the bug has been submitted already.

Advanced scripting is done in JavaScript and utilizes the General Mud Communication Protocol (GMCP), enabling users to track various in-game elements such as inventory, health, and room items from within their scripts. Simplified Scripting, on the other hand, is designed for users without any coding knowledge, allowing them to create powerful keybindings, macros, and aliases.
