Keys were an inclusion to the game since the beginning. They have undergone a little tweaking in their life though. "Update 5/13/2003" introduced code that automatically dropped keys upon logging out, to prevent players from losing keys in cases where they accidentally left Nodeka, like in losing a connection. "Update 6/5/2004" introduced [[unsavable items]] as a "concrete [[item type]]." This update declared that keys fell into this category. In "Update 7/11/2004," keys were adjusted to have a 7-day real-life [[lifetime]], and also [[save]] to your player, staying live and in your inventory through game sessions, reboots, and crashes.

Keys are items used to unlock exits (i.e. doors, gates, portcullis) that are usually impassable by a player without one. To add further difficulty to discovering some of these keys, there are non-standard exit names, and locked, hidden exits as well, such as "reef" in Glades.

General Information[edit]

Keys were an inclusion to the game since the beginning. They have undergone slight tweaking in their implementation, though. "Update 5/13/2003" introduced code that automatically dropped keys upon logging out, to prevent players from losing keys in cases where they accidentally left Nodeka, like in losing a connection. "Update 6/5/2004" introduced unsavable items as a "concrete item type." This update declared that keys fell into this category. In "Update 7/11/2004," most keys were adjusted to have a 7-day real-life lifetime, and also save to your player, staying live and in your inventory through game sessions, reboots, and crashes.
