Evennia consists of two processes, known as *Portal* and *Server*. They can be controlled from

inside the game or from the command line as described [here](./Start-Stop-Reload).

If you are new to the concept, the main purpose of separating the two is to have accounts connect to
|
|
|
|
|
the Portal but keep the MUD running on the Server. This way one can restart/reload the game (the
|
|
|
|
|
Server part) without Accounts getting disconnected.

The Server and Portal are glued together via an AMP (Asynchronous Messaging Protocol) connection.
|
|
|
|
|
This allows the two programs to communicate seamlessly.
