261Golems are creatures that the player has some control over. Note that many
262summoned creatures are considered golems, even if they are not called
263golems.
264
265If you have a golem in control your spell type will be listed as golem,
266with the creature name in parantheses.
267
268To control your golem, just press the fire key in the direction you want
269your golem to move. Your golem will then start moving in that direction,
270and keep moving in that direction until you change its direction.
271
272Note that once you leave the map that the golem is on, the golem will
273disappear. Also, once you select another spell to cast, or change your
274range type, your golem will disappear.

452Pl: Players on the map. 418known to the server. The different fields are Pl, I, Svd, Reset and Path:

458Reset: Real server time when the map is going to reset. 424=item I: B<I>n memory, B<S>wapped out or B<L>oading.
425
426The server keeps maps in memory only for a short time (by default about
42740 seconds). After that time, it saves them to disk. As the server loads
428most maps in the background it is possible that you can see a map that is
429currently being loaded, but that's rare, as loading a map is fast.
430
431=item Svd: the amount of seconds the map was last saved (++ means >99).
432
433The server by default tries to save each map at least every 20 seconds if
434it changed, so in case of a disastrous crash (one where the server cannot
435emergency save), at most 20 seconds of gameplay are lost.
436
437=item Reset: the minimum number of seconds the map will stay as is (will not reset).
438
439Most maps will not reset as long as players are on it, and usually the
440reset counter only starts going down when all players left the map. Some

497The server-side default is usually quite high, around 100000. If the
498server is running on a Linux kernel, it will adjust to the actual
