Changes
Taleseau's 2004scape — Revision 274 (2004-11-23) — Updated May 30, 2026
Server
- 10x XP rate — all skills, across the board. Script values are base (1x) — the engine multiplier scales them automatically. Change
xpRate in world.json and everything adjusts.
- 1-minute reboot timer — grace period on server restart with countdown warning.
- Two-tier idle system — 90 seconds without input suppresses random events. 5 minutes triggers idle logout.
- Members world — all content accessible. No paywall.
- Staff system — admin and mod crowns in chat (@cr1@ silver, @cr2@ gold). Staff commands for teleporting, item spawning, moderation. Backed by database-stored ranks.
