DDoS Protection
The system is somewhat resilient to DDoS attacks, being a virtual private server which has a redundant system (which we pay good out-of-pocket money for) to be able to ignore attacks on the system. However, this does not make us "immune" to such attacks. If the server is under DDoS attack, we will log out all but administrative users

Help Topics
The in-game help system uses help &lt;command&gt; to signify that you want help on &lt;command&gt;. The aim is not only to ensure that the help system is straightforward, but that it works to restrict information to those who should not have access to certain commands.

One of the biggest challenges to the help system is the sheer size of the files. After updating the help system, the files were originally well over 1 megabyte (resulting in a delay which would bog the game down if 40 or more users logged in).
