This is the abbreviation of Bot Development World , and its a public bot testing world, also hosted by DM Mercury (#148). There is public building allowed , but with a limited objectpath. This world is useful to try out the different existing bot programs and see if they work successfully for you. In BotDev you have the bot [Athena] which is still being developed by DM Mercury. Not all bot features may work properly , a feedback to DM Mercury is appreciated. At this moment the bot knows only 3 commands : hi , clear , atlas. If you type atlas, then you will see a large hud with icons in the upper left corner. Then type in the chat : clear , and see what happens next. There are also 2 zones : walk inside these zones and you will see a message. Then type in the chat : clear , and the message disappears.

This world is operated by DM Mercury (#148) , and it's a RPG (role playing game) world that runs 24/7. AD&D stands for : Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.

Game description : Every participant starts by choosing a race in the central village (Merinel) and then starts attacking opponents (e.g. orc monsters in the caves) which have different levels of strength. You can also collect orc meat, orc armor and orc axes, and sell these in the Merinel shop for gp (gold pieces) and buy weapons with it, you can also deposit the gp at the bank. If you got beaten by the opponents, then you lose the strength and also the collected gold pieces (except those that you have at the bank). After being beaten , then you can heal yourself (in Merinel village) and you restart attacking the opponents. After having beaten a number of opponents, you will have collected sufficient gold pieces, and you will be at level 2 . In this level 2 , you will have to collect more gp than in level 1, in order to reach level 3

Hud windows : You have 4 hud windows: at the bottom line you have a red circle (you strength in hit points) and a blue circle ( magic points). In the middle you have a bar with the scored gp and the total number of gp that you need to score in order to get to the next level. At the top you have 6 buttons, showing your stats, showing the inventory of what you collected and bought and what you have "equipped" , showing your skills and spells , and a button to teleport to the recall spot.

Supportive websites : When entering the world AD&DRPG , you will see a message in the chat : Discord link is: https://discord.gg/znpXMRx . which brings you to the addrpg discord group with all kinds of additional information. In the landing zone of AD&DRPG, you will also find url-links to the website https://zoywiki.com/Age4 which gives an overview of the bot commands that you can use, a detailed game tutorial , a world map, and the bestiary. This bestiary shows an overview of the strength of all your opponents. By bringing your mouse pointer above an opponent avatar, the name of the opponent will appear,. Then you look in the bestiary table for the strength of this opponent , and then you decide to attack or not.
