Code Area

From FiranMUX

Jump to: navigation, search

The Code Area is one of the staff areas, divided by function. The Code area provides support for all hardware and software systems that run the game, including the network and physical server, the operating system and system administration, the game server and other critical applications (web, email, file access), and softcoded game systems. This area not only writes and fixes code, but also makes everything else go. See Staff Organization.
