1. pause durations
Some skill and spell buffs are permanent (such as racial effects and
those from special equipment). Others have a duration that decreases in
real time. There may be a time when you want to sit and chat with other
players or just hang out without wasting your double questpoints buff. You
can find a pause room north and up from recall. In this room, your
durations will be paused until you exit. This is a safe room which cannot
be gated into or summoned from, and FPK players can only spend 3 minutes in
this room before automatically being kicked out. This room cannot be
entered while violent.
Durations are also paused while linkdead. They will be paused if you go
idle and end up in limbo, just as long as you were in a noduration room
(such as the fountain room) previously. If you go idle and are not in the
fountain room, your buff durations will not be paused.
It is not possible to use skills or spells in the fountain room. The
purpose of this room is to be able to chat with others while not wasting
your buff timers. It is unpleasant to chat in a spammy room.
While durations are paused, quest, expedition, and global quest countdown
timers (timers to next quest) do not decrease.
