Ticks on this mud average 30 seconds of real time, but the actual amount varies randomly from 15 seconds to 45 seconds. <br>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. <br> </body> </html>
