New In-Game Chat Commands

By now most of you have noticed people typing /this and /that and you are sitting there wondering "WTF are they doing?"  It is simple, those commands actually do something.  So, while you're here, take a look at what we've updated.

There is now an online server shop, which is mainly meant for cosmetics but you can find a few useful items on there such as brass, lead, nitrate powder and coal.  Yes...all those things to make ammo.  Here's how to do it:

/wallet ~ this shows how many zCoins you currently have (earned from playing and killing Zeds)
/shop list ~ shows a list of the categories currently attached to the server store

Currently we have the categories below:

/shop building ~ building supplies
/shop metals ~ lead and brass
/shop decor ~ bookcases, doors, etc..
/shop minerals ~ coal, nitrate etc..
/shop misc ~ obviously misc. item
/shop books ~ leather tanning, concrete book, steel, etc...

Those are the ones that currently exist.  If you want to buy things then type in things such as:

/buy 21618
/buy 21619

I know you're asking yourself "what is with the numbers?"  The numbers are what shows up next to the item you want.  That is how it is classified in game.  So that is what the numbers are for.

The item will drop at your feet and we highly encourage you to buy something while indoors.  Items drop on the ground and have a tendency to shoot across the map.  You will not be reimbursed as this is an alpha game and there are bugs.  If you buy and it flies, consider it a learning lesson and try a different spot to purchase.

Finally, let's get to the newest thing.  WAYPOINTS!

Each person can create up to 5 waypoints, private waypoints.  None of your friends can use your zGate waypoint.  It is yours and only yours at the cost of 500 zCoins for creation.  Yes, it costs zCoins to create a zGate and it costs 20 coins to use them after creation.  It's an investment, look at it that way.

So, you created a zGate by typing /zgate create {name} and obviously the name is whatever you named it.  You got your 500 zCoins taken and now you are way the hell away from the gate but want to get to it.  Simply type /zgate visit {name} and BOOM, you're there at the cost of 20 zCoins.  This also has a time limit of 60 minutes.  So, make sure when you are traveling that you can wait the time to use it again if necessary.  We do not have intentions of adjusting this time limit because people will use it too often and take away from their traveling experiences.  I'll write the commands below just in case you didn't want to read....

/zgate create {name}
/zgate visit {name}
/zgate list ~ this shows a list of the waypoints you've created, in case you forget the names.
/zgate delete {name} ~ allows you to delete a zgate you've created.

REMEMBER!  It costs 500 zCoins to create one and you do not get your money back if you delete one.

I think this about covers it.  Have fun and we'll see you in game!
