- GRANT OF PRIVILEGES
Participation requires accepting and abiding by the the rules and notices, including any future updates. They may be updated at any time and all players are responsible for staying up to date. This message will be re-shown on login if there are changes, and you can use the /motd command to review at any time. To accept the rules and participate in gameplay, issue the "/agree to motd" command via in-game chat. If you do not agree to the rules, please disconnect from the server.
GAMEPLAY HINTS
Chat sounds are enabled by default. If you want to disable them, you can use "/szutil_chatsounds 0". See https://bit.ly/2X0Xtul for full documentation on this command.
Available "protection" mechanisms on this server are highly limited. This server runs the YCTIWY mod, and your inventory items remain in-world and exposed when you log out. To keep property more private, build farther away from spawn and don't leave your valuables out in the open. The effort required to clear a simple obstacle like a stone wall is generally higher than most thieves or irresponsible borrowers have proven willing to show.
Fast teleportation is available via telecodes, but you can't bring any items with you (they'll be dropped and left behind). See https://bit.ly/3d1S5fV for instructions on how to use telecodes.
This world is extremely limited in size (though future expansion is possible). There is no death/respawn in NodeCore, so if you wander away from the spawn area, you'll need to either walk back, or leave your stuff and use a telecode to return.
