Who Are They?

A User is a player of the game. For COPPA registrations, a Parent record exists to give authorization. Both a User and a Parent are instances of a Person, with a few basic methods.

A User is also an ExistsInWorld, as is a WorldItem.

A Zone contains more than one Room; except for special zones, whose names begin with a '$', which are hidden from logins and serve special purposes. The Zone "$Eden" is used for multizone and multiserver logins.

The game server is AppiusClaudiusCaecus.

The NPC broker is ClodiaPulchraTertia.
