 TIP |
Save and name your own ;go2 destinations so you can use words instead of memorizing numbers. Just stand in the destination room and type ;go2 save TheNameYouWant=current – remember the custom list will supercede any built-in ones like bank, advguild, advguard, alchemist, gemshop, etc. This tip came from Noldi a while back, may his soul rest in peace. |
