The world and its rules

Activity log

In the game: help activity

The Activity log, in the Chat pane, keeps a record of everything that happens to you:

each room you enter, with who and what was there ("as before" when nothing changed, "nothing here" when it was empty);
arrivals and departures;
every line of the fights you see, and other people's spells;
what you gain: experience, coins, things you pick up, levels, quest steps.

Rooms you walk through quickly, with nothing happening between them, fold into one "walked" line: click it to see each room. Typing look adds a snapshot of the room. The All, Rooms, Fights and Gains buttons at the top show just one kind.

The main window keeps the game quiet: who and what is here is in the room panel beside it (someone arriving makes their row pulse), and comings and goings are in the log.

How much of a fight the main window shows

The log's "Main window" choice decides how much of a fight is also shown in the main window. The log keeps everything whatever you choose.

A fight's line in the main window	Nothing	Key moments
What your own commands did (bash, cast, kill...), hit or miss, and "You lost your concentration"	yes	yes
What is done to you: bashed, stunned, knocked down	yes	yes
Your own death	yes	yes
Other deaths you see, your kill too ("The orc is dead! R.I.P.")	no	yes
Experience for the kill	no	yes
Fleeing in your fight, yours or your foe's	no	yes
The blow-by-blow of each round	no	no
Fights you only watch, others bashed or stunned	no	no
Other people's spells ("Bob utters the words...")	no	no

Everything shows every line, as the main window always did. Key moments is the default.

At every level, your spells wearing off (or about to) show in the main window, and so do the coins and things you pick up.
