Dynamic room descriptions.. when would their be a need to modify the
room descriptions on a on the fly basis? I was thinking about setting
up room descriptions that change with the seasons. (working on imping
seasons to:) Did you want to modify them on a tick basis? I could see
modifying them on a day/night basis but I cant put that much demand
on a builder.. Me: "You should write 8 descriptions per room for every
season and the day and night." Builder: "Yea right!.. keep your lousey
immortal"

Make it so pkillers cant enter the tavern or allow the players to attack
each other in the tavern. I dont think you are going to be able to stop
someone from killing and logging off unless yopu catch them in the act.
You could give them a warning about it when they quit or assuming you
have rent... You could set up a timer so that if a player kills someone
then they can not rent for the next 10 mins or something.
