! Building a home

Your home is where your character goes when you disconnect. You can also teleport home with the @home command. When your character is first created, your home is the lobby. If you don't want to sleep in public you will have to find a new home. Here's how.

First find a place to dig a new room. There are plenty of empty floors accessible from the elevator which is east and north of the lobby. Pick a random floor (currently 2-69 should work). I picked 56 for this example:

<verbatim>
You get off on the 56th floor
You enter the room.
56th floor
You see nothing special.
</verbatim>

If you type "help @dig" you will see this:

<verbatim>
topic:  @dig
Syntax: @dig <n|s|e|w|ne|se|nw|sw|u|d> to <room>



This command is a very handy shortcut for "digging" a series of rooms.
You supply the direction from the current room to the new room, and
either the name of a new room to create, or a reference to an existing
room.  This function then creates the new room (if needed), an exit
from your current room to the new one, and a reciprocal exit from the
new room back to the one you're in.  Each exit is given a full name
and the standard one- or two-letter alias, and all objects are placed
in the proper location.  This is the recommended method for adding
rooms to a MOOP database.

Examples:

   @dig n to Balcony
   @dig sw to #57
</verbatim>

From here if you go north you will go back to the elevator, so it makes sense to dig east or west to a room.


<verbatim>
>@dig e to 5601
CreditError in line 25 of  <dig> : 100 credits needed for object creation.
</verbatim>

Oops! No credits. We will have to bum some off of someone else:

<verbatim>
>@page Lucifer with Hey, gimme some cash!
Message sent.
Lucifer gives you 1000 credits.
</verbatim>

Cool, now we can try again:

<verbatim>
>@dig e to 5601
5601 created as object #422 and moved to #12 (Universe)
Exit east created in 56th floor as object #423
Exit west created in 5601 as object #424
</verbatim>

<verbatim>
>e
You go east.
You enter the room.
5601
You see nothing special.
</verbatim>

! userlist

I added a new command: "userlist". It is like "who" but gives information on all users, not just the ones logged in at the time.

<verbatim>
userlist
>There are 2 users currently connected:
   Name                    Location                On           Idle
   ----                    --------                -----------  -----------
