Armageddon is both a creature and an event which will destroy the world. Once alive, he will announce his intentions and the time left until the annihilation of Frontier. After this complete destruction, the world will be created anew: all objects that may have been hidden or locked away are gone and the shops will start out empty.For those who want to know, Armageddon is merely a shutdown daemon that is called and set by an authorized staff member. This whole process (without errors in the preloading sequence or an extended scheduled down-time) should take no longer than 3-5 minutes.
