The rulebook

How Dotco works.

Every rule and number in the game, in plain words, read straight from the bot. Money is in dollars, and all of it is virtual.

Getting started

  • Type /start or any game command to get a profile. The checklist has 5 steps and pays $5,000 and 300 XP when you finish it.
  • Your profile is global: the same level, money and items in every server Dotco is in.
  • /help lists every command, and /howto walks you through the basics.
  • Dotco speaks 7 languages: English, Español, Tagalog, Português, Bahasa Indonesia, Deutsch, Français. Each server picks one.
