reboot
DESCRIPTION The game has to reboot every once in a while, usually because it is taking up too much memory, and therefore causing lag. Sometimes we do reboots when a new concept has been introduced that affects the entire length and width of the mud, but hardly ever the depth. A bug can crash the game too, but it would have to be a sturdy specimen. All objects are destroyed in a shutdown and all you keep are 'autoloading' ones. Players who get destructed receive a small compensation. Its usually best to sell all your junk and leave the game rather than get dested. SEE ALSO save, petrify, quit
