agreed Max. I have never had an incident of a player abusing mod access rights in 2 manging servers over the past 5 yrs.

My only issues with the TKL system

1) It creates a conversation file for each quest, so having a single NPC give out multiple quests, particularly as a chain, would require some amount of dicking about with merging multiple conversations into 1 file, along with adding checks to see if previous quests have been completed in the chain etc.
2) The Gold and XP rewards are set as variables when the quest is created for each player, so if they need to be converted over to using our own scripts to do the actual rewarding, I am not entire sure how to go about that, since most statics I have seen (admittedly on TSM) pull the XP and Gold values from the standard Journal that TKL does not use.

I like this idea and approve of it. I personally dont see why we got more servers then TSM and BG. Keep the other for dm events and campaigns. And people, try to stay on when a dm loggs on. Its so many times that I logg on to dm and players either leave or go picking up the mail quests, leaving those who rp behind to walk to far off corners of the server.

I logg on to dm adventures and only that. Also, staying hidden in private rooms with locked doors doesnt count as rping. Thats simply hiding from rp.

Unless you are actually role playing in which case it does actually count as role playing.

Seriously, if you are plotting an attack on good guys or bad guys alike, doing it in the common room of a Tavern is just asking to have your plan screwed with or discovered by those you are targeting. Spies are everywhere and aren't always visible.

Believe it or not, more than just the cyb0rz goes on behind locked doors
