== Introduction ==

What is a weenie?
:Every interactable item and or object in game is a weenie. NPCs, Swords, Portals, Scrolls, Doors, etc.

What are weenie properties?
:Weenie properties are the keys, values, and conditions/actions found within each weenie. These properties set everything from the damage value of a sword to how much XP an NPC awards you for completing a quest.

:Some weenie properties are read by the AC client and provide updates on creature health, stat panels, and more. Other properties are server side, and can dictate things like whether a creature will attack you, or how an npc interacts.

:You can find former turbine developer [[Dev_Bio:_Sandra_"srand"_Powers|Srand]]'s description from an in house turbine interview [[Programmer_Extraordinaire:_Technical_Aspects_of_the_Game|here]].
