tick

Many of the game actions are based upon interval timers, including combat,
most autonomous monster actions, hp/mana/stamina regeneration, spell
duration, weather, and area resetting.

Of these timers, the hp/mana/stamina regeneration timer is popularly called
the 'tick'.  Ticks on this mud average 60 seconds of real time, but the
actual amount varies randomly from 45 seconds to 90 seconds.

Area resetting happens roughly every 3 minutes if no one is in the area; less
often (15 minutes) if some one is.  Also note that objects lying on the ground
will not be regenerated if anyone is in the area when it resets.
