Kernigh: The '''#quit''' extended command lets you quit and ''abandon'' the current game.

The '''#quit''' extended command lets you quit and ''abandon'' the current game.

New page

The '''#quit''' [[extended command]] lets you quit and ''abandon'' the current game. NetHack will ask you to confirm with '''[y/n]'''. Use this when you want to abandon your current game and start a new one with a new [[character]].

Once you quit, there is no way to return to that game! (That is unless you are [[save scumming]].)

In old versions of ''[[NetHack]]'', as in ''[[Hack]]'', the '''[Q]''' command would quit. However, such command is rarely used, so newer versions changed '''[Q]''' to [[quiver]] and introduced the extended command "#quit". This is why, on [[you]]r first use of the quiver command, the game will remind you to use "#quit" to quit.

If you only want to [[save]] your game, you would press '''[S]'''. This exits NetHack; but it leaves a save file so you will return to your current game. Using "#quit" never leaves a save file.
