#141, "The Save command and some housecleaning."


          

1) The save helpfile has been updated. We've been automatically saving characters both at time intervals (the 'autosaving..' echo) and by even (for example, gaining a level), but forgot to note it there.

2) Using the save command by typing it still works, but now has a short lag associated with it. Essnetially, we noticed that some character use it more or less constantly, which adds to processing load and adds more read/write hits to our hard drives. Since you save every 5 minutes or so, and also before reboots and after important IC events, we don't feel it's necessary to offer it for "free" now. Hopefully, this will encourage people only to use it when necessary.
