272Golems are creatures that the player has some control over. Note that many
273summoned creatures are considered golems, even if they are not called
274golems.
275
276If you have a golem in control your spell type will be listed as golem,
277with the creature name in parantheses.
278
279To control your golem, just press the fire key in the direction you want
280your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction,
281and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction.

284disappear. Also, once you select another spell to cast, or change your

465Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset. 429=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
430
431The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
43240 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
433most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is

436=item Svd: the amount of seconds the map was last saved (++ means >99).
437
438The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
439it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
440emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
441
442=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
443
444Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the

502The server-side default is usually quite high, around 100000. If the
