IdleRPG Commands (IRC)

Use commands in #IdleRPG on NetIRC. Channel syntax is !command; account commands are sent by private message to the bot without !.

Recognized public !commands do not add normal chat penalty. Unknown !something lines are treated as regular speech. Commands are case-insensitive on the token (!TIME = !time).

Level timer formula

While you stay idle in the game channel, your personal countdown shrinks toward zero. When it hits zero you level up and the bot adds the standard idle time for your new level (shown on !time / the web leaderboard as time remaining). Bonuses, penalties, duels, and events change your current timer — the table below is the baseline with no modifiers.

Standard idle to reach the next level (hero at level L → L+1):
L ≤ 60: floor(rpbase × rpstep^L)
L > 60: floor(rpbase × rpstep⁶⁰) + 86 400 × (L − 60) seconds

This realm: rpbase = 10m, rpstep = 1.16. There is no maximum hero level at 60 — that breakpoint only changes how fast the standard timer grows.

Standard idle time (this shard)

Hero level (L)	Idle to reach L+1
L0	10m
L1	11m
L5	21m
L10	44m
L25	6h 48m
L50	11d 14h
L60	51d 4h
L61	52d 4h
L62	53d 4h

Channel chat penalty scale

Penalty unit at level L (before message length):
L ≤ 60: floor(rpbase × rppenstep^L)
L > 60: floor(rpbase × rppenstep⁶⁰) + 86 400 × (L − 60) seconds

Applied as floor((message_length × penttl(L)) / rpbase), capped by the shard penalty limit. Recognized !commands skip this speech penalty.

This realm: rppenstep = 1.14.

Prestige (optional): at L60+ you may run !prestige now to reset to L0 for a permanent idle bonus. You can also keep climbing past L60 without rebirth.
