Feedback And Reports

DarkWind depends on player reports. Bugs, typos, client problems, and ideas all have dedicated report paths.

What To Report

Report:

  • Broken commands
  • Room exits that do not work
  • Typos in room, item, NPC, or help text
  • Quest issues
  • Item behavior that looks wrong
  • Client display or web-client issues
  • Bugs that produce money, experience, items, or unsafe advantages
  • Ideas for improving the game

Bug abuse is against the rules. If something feels too good to be true, report it.

Report Commands

appendissueAdd information to an existing report

Use the most specific command. Gameplay bugs go to bug; web client or connected interface problems go to clientbug.

Good Reports

Good reports include:

  • What you typed
  • What happened
  • What you expected
  • Room, item, NPC, or quest names
  • Whether it repeats
  • Any message shown by the game

Examples:

  • typo sign says "recieve" in the market room
  • bug qstatus does not update after I rescue the lost guard
  • clientbug map: minimap stops updating after I change floors

Sensitive Bugs

For bugs involving duplication, currency, player safety, or rule problems:

  • Stop using the bug
  • Report it clearly
  • Avoid sharing the exploit on public channels
  • Ask staff directly if you are uncertain
