	Outright botting is not permitted, however, you can set up a shit fuck ton of aliases/triggers/macros/etc and really help yourself out. It significantly behooves you to do this. Aliases to recall, reset, restock, refavor, speedwalk places, switch gear, quaff potions, complete repetitive tasks faster than you'll ever be able to type, and automatically manage fighting. You can play without these, but you'll honestly be acting a fool compared to everyone else who's basically just mindlessly punching alises/macro's and letting triggers do the work while they watch old episodes of Star Trek TNG and ~~scrolling~~ reddit on their phone.

	Do NOT script a full automated bot, or anything that runs without you actually at the helm. Make your typing life easier, get reaction times to computational speeds, that's all.

	The attack mechanic is made difficult due to the lag state that happens after you attack. Different attacks cause different length wait-states, between 1-5 seconds, during which you are taking damage, and cannot do anything else.

	The healing mechanic is made difficult due to the fact that you become 'full' after quaffing potions.

	So you quaff 8 potions, and have drink from a magic spring. You'll make those with a potion/spell or stave. Spam a ton of heal commands and drink spring, over and over, until you die.

	This can be fun, and I suggest leveling up a bit with your basic newb eq and then asking other for where to go explore to find some useful gear. Spend some time with that before worrying about really anything, just explore, have fun, find shit.

	Right now the game is basically psuedo-broken as far as leveling is concerned. There's a few areas worth your time that you have to sit in and grind for a long time, it's not worth to go around and try different areas/mobs. Just ask people where to go, the list of good places is quite short.		Right now the game is basically psuedo-broken as far as leveling is concerned.

	At no point did the creators of DikuMUD or Thoric say "Here's what I'm going to create! A game where people can go slaughter level 10 mobs for gold repetatively and then buy loot! It'll be soooo fuuunnnn!". Nope. The game is killing mobs for loot. You should try it.		At no point did the creators of DikuMUD or Thoric say "Here's what I'm going to create!

	THE ONLY TRUE NEED FOR GOLD IS TO BUY POTIONS		THE ONLY TRUE NEED FOR GOLD IS TO BUY POTIONS

			Remember these words.

	There used to big economy in this game, when we had a player base of 300 people on at all times. People would farm different gear, and buy/sell stuff for gold all the time. That was 20 years ago. Since then, everyone left, everything got documented, and mostly everyone returned to just playing the game directly themselves, getting their own stuff, using all their characters and all the available tactics to do so fairly easily. There's not really many secrets anymore, there's far more tactics that can be used, most gear is quite attainable at this point.
