NEWS: GM Vanah posted a note on Discord that explained why some commands look like typos to you, but still work. Turns out, GS Verbs can only be 7 characters long, and ANYTHING you type after that is ignored. So RESOURC is the actual valid command, but RESOURCE works, as does RESOURCILOVEVANAH does, too. I feel like we just got a peek behind the curtain!

When A Typo Is Not An Error

There was a bug report that typoing RESOURCEW gave the results for the RESOURCE verb instead of an error. This is not a bug. Verbs in gemstone are only 7 characters long. You can type RESOURCILOVEVANAH and it will work just as well as RESOURCE.
