The the verb, verb is now live in all instances. This addition allows GameMasters to keep a comprehensive, master verb list that can be updated with a single command.

VERB INFO {verb} - Lists information about {verb}

>verb list am

ambush (info)

Much of the game staff has spent time updating every verb in the game (thousands) to have a help section. Each week I will be rolling in approximately a dozen verbs with updated help sections.

Along this vein the HELP verb has been updated to call the new mechanics we have established via the VERB verb.

When these updates are complete and live for future reference you will simply need to type:

HELP VERB [NAME OF VERB]

... to see the help information.

Those who use Stormfront can identify verbs that have an updated help section by their "clicky" status. Those who do not use Stormfront can identify these verbs via an * placed next to the word.

If you have any questions or comments please post them in the Surviving in DragonRealms - General Discussions folder.

Special thanks to our fellow Gamemasters in GSIV for the inspiration and much of the initial code. This system will be used to create additional information tools cough creature list cough in the future.

Thanks.
