  fixes that issue.
* Added recursive check for "bags inside bags inside bags etc." for
  donation commands.
- This will prevent bags within bags (etc.) that contain stock items from

- If a character's racial stat's max is higher than their class stat's max
  thier stat's max will be the racial max. For example: A Minotaur's max
  strength is 21 and a mage's max strength is 20. If the minotaur was a
  mage, its strength would max at 21 since the racial stat was higher.
* Tweak class/level output in WHO command to show full class name of
  tiered characters.

  with a starting price of at least 20,000 gold. A 50% fee is charged to the
  seller to pay for change of ownership fees.

- Bottles were drink containers. Drinking from them could cause the mob to
  pop out of the bottle with missing or incorrect stats.
* All conjurer ARMORSMITH and WEAPONSMITH spells have been tweaked.
* Removed the MUD's ability to write to a bugs.txt file.

  preventing the mud from successfully rebooting.

  would cause the player to seemingly fight themselves.

- To prevent stock piles of stock equipment that has occured players may

  in pit rooms that collect items from the ground and place them in the pit
  will no longer pick up stock items and will drop any stock items handed
  to them. They will also not pick up any containers that have stock items
  in them and will drop any containers that have stock items in them. This
  change does NOT affect lockers. You can still store stock items in your
  lockers if you have one.
  WARNING: This is probably going to cause some headaches at first until
  all the items in following pits are marked as randoms as the older randoms
  had no such flag on them.

  boiled leather shirt, it will not buy a hard leather shirt.

- SKIN works as intended. I still need to create a new skin object in an
  area file for the skill to use. Other alterations will be required before
  mortals are allowed to use this skill.
* Added check in FORCE command to allow implementors to force other
  implementors. (By request)
* Players with should now be able to drink even with a full stomach.
- Previously, drinking caused a character's FULL and THIRST to increase
  and would not allow a character to drink if FULL was set at maximum. This
  change allows a character to drink even if FULL is at maximum but will
  prevent a player from drinking if THISRT is at maximum.
* Fixed class selection for character creation.
- A mishap caused the selection of classes to actually be the disallowed
  classes for that class causing races such as human to actually list no
  classes at all.
* Low level tiered characters can now see numeric value of armor in score.
* Added "Eff" to tiered characters SCORE to show effectively what level
  they are.
- This will show in the tiered character's score next to the class name as
  "Eff: #"
* Basic outline of two new spells.

v2.3.6
* Character creation process changed.
- Players will now choose RACE before choosing CLASS. Class selection will
  be limited to available classes for the chosen race.
* Reduced spell lag for many spells.
* Fixed several instances of incorrect calculations of tiered levels.
- This fixes damage cap, spell damage cap, ability to see spell rounds and
  affects in SCORE as well as the AFFECTED command.
* Removed random chance randoms will have DEATHROT.
* Removed, temporarily, the chance items with DEATHROT will be destroyed
  upon death.
* More changes to the SKIN skill.
* Prevent characters under level 4 and tiered characters from becoming
  thirsty or hungry.
- From the looks of it, this was intended beforehand, but it only
  prevented the hunger/thirst messages from being displayed.
* Created new command to reset economy values that become too large due to
  numerous reboots, hotboots, and/or crashes.
- Implementors see HELP RECONOMY for details.

v2.3.5
* Created new spell: ENCHANT TREASURE
- This spell allows the caster to enchant a "treasure" or "arttreasure"
  type item. The effects are +spell dam and +mana. This spell is usable on
  magical or non-magical items but not enchanted items. This spell is
  currently not assigned to any class.
* Fixed the problem with PKillers getting the KILLER flag when their
  victim is within range.
* Removed tax from players recieving gold from other players.
* Automatic reboots will now wait seven(7) days to reboot.
* Created FCHARMIE command for implementors.
- This command will set a mob or player to be the charmie of another mob
  or player and allows the immortal to set the charm duration.
  Implementors see HELP FCHARMIE for details.
* Recreated the SKIN skill.
- Currently unavailable to mortals. This is being set up for use in the
  future.
* Altered OINVOKE so that the third paramter is quantity
- Immortals with this command can now create multiples of an invoked item.
  See HELP OINVOKE for details.

v2.3.4
* Optimized the way AUTOGOLD works.
- Characters will no longer try to get gold from a corpse if it contains
  no gold to begin with. This will prevent the line "You see nothing like
  that in the corpse." from appearing when the corpse has no gold and the
  player has AUTOGOLD turned on.
* Fixed a typo in the code that produced duplicate lines when splitting
  gold.
* NODROP weapons can no longer be disarmed.
* DISARM skill should now have a better chance of succeeding.
* Room info is now displayed in room for immortals.
- Immortals should now see room info in the rooms such as area name, area
  file name, room vnum, room flags, exits, exit vnums, exit key vnum and
  sector type.
* Immortals can now walk through closed doors.
* Replaced mana spell in spec_cast_adept with cure critical.
* Made some adjustments to a couple spells.
* Added SEEDAM to config settings.
- See HELP CONFIG.

v2.3.3
* Changed the way code checks for shopkeepers.

v2.3.2
* Added check to ENCHANT WEAPON to accept artweapon as an acceptible spell
  target.
- Non-magical artweapons can now be enchanted with the ENCHANT WEAPON
  spell.
* Artweapons that are enchanted will be given an enchant bonus.
- This gives a small bonus to an enchantable artweapon.
* Removed ENERGY DRAIN's ability to give the caster drained mana.
- This was done to balance out the spells. ENERGY DRAIN was being used in
  such a way that a druid could exp contuously without the need to stop and
  regenerate lost stats such as hp, mana and moves. This was an unfair
  advantage in regards to other classes.
* Increased the amount of exp gained from using ENERGY DRAIN.
- This is compensation for the no mana return.
* Added check to ENCHANT ARMOR to accept artarmor as an acceptible spell
  target.
- Non-magical artarmors can now be enchanted using the ENCHANT ARMOR
  spell.
* Artarmor that is enchanted will be given an enchant bonus.
- This gives a small bonus to an enchantable artarmor.
* Fixed a typo in the TELESCAPE output.

v2.3.1
* Removed aquabread from popping on random items.
- This was causing a crash.

v2.3.0
* Fixed area economies.
- Area economies will now be saved when they are updated. They will also
  be reloaded upon mud bootup. Upon loading, the area economy gains interest
  at a rate of 15%.
* Shopkeepers recieve no gold when they repop.
* Shopkeeper inventories purge upon death.
* Shopkeepers will now keep some items sold to them to be resold.
- Shopkeepers will keep random item that are sold to them. These items
  will then be listed with the shopkeeper's other items.
* Made a change to VENTRILOQUATE output.
- This makes the output from VENTRILOQUATE obviously different from
  normal conversation text.
* Added in an automatic taxing system.
- Players will now be taxed 5% of the amount of gold that they recieve.
  The gold collected from this tax goes directly to the economy of the area
  they are in.
* Prevent steal from working on shopkeepers.
- This prevents any loophole that might have been created due to the above
  changes to the economy and shopkeepers.

v2.2.11
* Coded a new way of checking for a skill on a player.
- The skill still does not show up in the practice list, but the player
  is able to use the skill.
* Added a timer to items that fall to the ground.
- This timer gives an item aproximately 30 minutes to exist on the
  ground. After that time has expired the item will be destroyed. I have
  also changed the default "<item> mysteriously vanishes" phrase to
  something more unique to this realm.

v2.2.10
* Increased the chance randoms have of popping on mobs.
- This increase will likely cause a lot of more powerful random items
  to pop. There is also a higher chance of powerful artifact magic items
  popping, however, they are not without penalty. See below.
* Added random chance of deathrot for high-level randoms.
- Random artifact items that pop with a (Powerful magic) level or higher
  will have a random chance of having deathrot. These items have a lesser
  chance of being destroyed upon player death than those items with
  deathrot created by conjurers.
* All shops should now never close.
- I had too many complaints about shops closing in the middle of buying or
  selling items. This change renders shop open and close times in area files
  obsolete.
* Several help files relating to the legendary skills have been added.
- See HELP LEGENDARY.

v2.2.9
* Removed incorrect reference to E.S.T. in TIME output.
* Added version number to TIME command output.
- Players can now type TIME to check what the version of HoG is running.

v2.2.8
* Added %w option to prompts.
- This will display a x if the player has any kind of lag associated
  with a skill, spell or command, or will display a o otherwise.
* Updated help file entry for HELP PROMPT.

v2.2.7
* Coded in a way to create endless drink containers.
- Examining a drink container that is set to endless will give a
  message stating that it appears bottomless.
* Removed some safeguards that prevented immortals from casting certain
  spells on mortals due to certain restrictions.
- They were causing problems in testing things on the test port.
* Reduced lag time for ORDER command.
* Mob corpse weight is now determined by the mob's level.
- This was done to prepare for future code.
* Updated information in HELP ITEMVALUES.
* Added help file entry for HELP DARWIN.
- This contains information on how to contact Darwin.
* Quest items are now automatically removed from questbags upon
  player death.
- This is to prevent the loss of quest items through a "quest bag bug"
  that no one bothered to mention to me.
* Installed a personal study for myself into the Limbo area.
* Created a new mob spec: spec_sexist.
- If set on a mob, it will attack players of the opposite sex. Designed
  with Amazons in mind.

v2.2.6
* Changed charmies code to look at caster's level instead of other
  stat that could constantly be changing.
* Changed the order of spells payers needed to see magic levels on items.
- The different magic levels (Faint - Godlike) can now be able to be
  seen with one or more of the detect spells.
* Mobs cannot see magic flags.
- No reason for this, really.

v2.2.5
* Fixed an issue with color codes in item short descriptions messing
  up the color of the output for the IDENTIFY spell and LOOK/EXAMINE
  <item> command.
* Added key words section to IDENTIFY and LOOK/EXAMINE output.
- The IDENTIFY output had been altered to display the item short
  description instead of the item keywords. Instead of changing it
  back to the way it was originally, I opted to add in an additional
  line which contains all the keywords for the item being identified.
  This can been seen when the item is identified or when the item is
  examined.

v2.2.4
* Fixed some messages that did not properly end in a CR/LF sequence.
- These were messages that were not adding a blank line before the
  player's prompt as it should have been doing.

v2.2.3
* GRANTSIGHT reworked. Immortals can grantsight any player. See HELP
  GRANTSIGHT for details.
* Updated helpfile for GRANTSIGHT.

v2.2.2
* Changed "You receive x experience points" line to show "point"
  when only 1 exp is gained.
* PCRENAME now renames the owner on quest equipment.
- This was done to prevent quest eq from falling off of a character
  that was being renamed.
* ADVANCETIER command no longer causes the character's practices to
  be set to 20.
- If the player has less than 20 practices upon advancing to the next
  tier, they are set to 20 practices, otherwise they keep the same amount
  of practices they originally had.
* Allowed mortals to use %c, %n and %T in prompts. See HELP PROMPT
  for meanings.
* Updated help files for PROMPT, IMMPROMPT and PCRENAME.

v2.2.1
* Slight alterations in the display of some flags.
* Added TNL to SCORE.
* Moved "Gold" up one line in the SCORE so that I could group XP
  and TNL together.
* Added permanent stats to MSTAT output.
* Added word replacement for number to position in MSTAT.
* Added EXP and TNL to MSTAT output.
* Added Practices to MSTAT output.
* Reduced wait time for TRANCE.

v2.2.0
* Characters may now be created with names containing one(1) space
  and one(1) apostrophy.
- Names are limited to a total of 25 characters in length.

v2.1.1
* 'sac all' implemented.
- 'all' can now be used as an argument for the SACRIFICE command. This
  will destroy any item on the ground that the player is allowed to pick
  up or sacrifice individually. The output is a single line and the player
  is rewarded a single gold coin for each item sacrificed.
* no_junk flag added to quest bags.
- This is to prevent players from accidentally junking their questbag
  that contained all their quest eq. To get rid of bags they will have
  to be dropped and sacrificed.
* Avatars' mana should no longer be set to 0 when they die. Instead,
  they will have just as much mana as they had when they died.
* Autosplit gold does not get split with mobs.

v2.1.0
* Added dreaming messages.
- When mortals sleep they will occasionally see a random dream message.
* Altered exp tnl calculations.
* Removed several flags that would show up on immortals in
  a 'who' listing.
* Changed 'Drazuk' to 'Darwin' for sacrifice message.
* Changed 'Drazuk' to 'Medea' for level gain message.
* Edited the way flags are displayed on mobs. Mobs with no flags are
  no longer indented.
* Modified OUTCAST so that level is not a factor.
- This previously would not allow a leader that was lower level to
  OUTCAST another that was of a higher level. Anyone that is granted
  the OUTCAST command may OUTCAST anyone else in the same following.
