SERVER
1) '/ignore', '/enemy', '/friend', '/nopk' now say if a player is AFK/DND.
2) Spyglass can now be used with '/spy north' instead of '/spy n'.
3) Stopped trading with yourself (was used by staff for testing purposes).
4) '/mosh yell [messages]' no longer says 'yell [message]' to everyone, just says '[message]'.
5) Emotes on friends/enemies, when they don't have you on their list now says their name instead of your name.
6) '/showstats [character]' now says your class/race and has the max stats in yellow.
7) Current players online page on the website now says chairwoman where appropriate.
8) Computers on the same network with the same public internet ip can now play in the same mosh.
9) Creating characters with a name on the banned list has been stopped.
10) '/server' now shows the date/time that the nightmist server program started.
11) '/party' shows how many people are in your party.
12) '/party' shows if members are hungry/thirsty/poisoned.
13) '/party appoint [character]' now only searches for people in your party to appoint, ie, '/party appoint p' won't say "Peter is not in your party" if Pandilex is in your party.
14) '/togglenpc' to stop monster talking (saves on logoff).
15) '/toggle' to display a list of toggled settings (including clan chat).
16) Monster table on profiles on the web only update when you log off (to stop people looking at which ones are incrementing to find out where you are on the map).
17) '/give [alts/party] [item/gold]' added, only works if they are on the same square as you though.
18) 11 emotes added: /blink, /burp, /gasp, /gl, /hf, /mutter, /pout, /prance, /salute, /squeal, /tap.
19) Removed the number checking on '/give' so that if you don't have enough of an item, it sends what you do have, and if they don't have the required inventory space, it sends an amount equal to the space they actually do have.
20) '/announcement log' added to see the last 50 announcements made by staff.
21) '/memo sent' for the last 20 memos you've sent (can be cleared with '/memo clear').
22) Deaths by staff on profiles removed.
23) Bug fixed whereby if you were hungry or thirsty you wouldn't get hurt by poison.
24) Blackjack in the casinos should now take account of previous aces gained and convert them to 1 when a 'hit' gives a non-ace card that would take the total over 21.
25) '/togglemosh' now saves on logoff.
26) Friend/enemy chat now tells everyone on your friend/enemy list that you've turned it on/off.
27) '/showsite' shows all the items you have on the website's selling/auction system.
28) If you have set a custom wall message in a clan house, you can now build a room in that direction without it saying "There is already a room there.".
29) '/spy' can be used to spy on the current room you are in with a spyglass.
30) '/reset' gives you the reset info so you can relevel your character, you have to type in a random confirm code, so you can't "reset by mistake", so equally, if you reset, and change your mind, no going back.
31) '/levels' tells you the hp/mp you gained each level up (from now on).
32) Resetting your character on the website in an attempt to get better hp/mp has now been stopped, once the character has been rolled, it has a predetermined random set of hp/mp gains.
33) The way that the interactive parts of the website communicates with the server has been changed to stop the "no such file on nightmist server" error. (This was due to long packets getting cropped, this caused a problem because POST requests put the data at the end of the packet, I have changed it to use a GET request, so that it puts the information directly in the URL, also means it'd work better with proxy servers).
34) Character restore system added, it should be fairly simple to work out from the 'Character Edit' menu on the website. At the moment, it requires the exact password of the deleted character to bring it back into the game and does not take account of existing crits with the same name.
35) Passwords with symbols in them (not in a-z 0-9) now work properly on the interactive parts of the website.
36) '/trade confirm' now shows the other person any characters you are trading's stats.
37) Game activity page on the website now shows a pie chart of 1-6 stat'd characters.
38) FIX: Healing monsters now heal themselves if there is no-one on the square.
39) Using '/mosh exit' clears the fact that you entered the mosh from a particular square (for going back to after the mosh is over) so that when you die, you don't go to that location, you go to your local tavern instead.
40) Stats part of the website has been set to not read in the player database while the game server is writing it, this will stop it reading in part of the database, and displaying inaccurate information on the website.
41) Grasping Vines slowly lose hp over a minute and vanish afterwards.
42) '/nopk' no longer says "You have: Your clan on your nopk list." if you are not in a clan and no-one else is on your nopk list.
43) Requiring food or water now reduces your hp by a greater amount each time after saying it twice.
44) '/page history' now shows the date and time of each page sent to you.
45) Account vaults are now available (space will be provided on the map in major cities shortly), they store 50 items, and can be accessed from any character in the account.
46) '/memo forward' tells you what character your memos are forwarded too, and any characters that forward memos to you.
47) '/memo forward [character]' will forward all memos sent to you to [character] (character has to be in your account). If [character] changes account, it will no longer forward memos to others, and any other characters set to forward to it will be cancelled (this also applies if [character] is deleted). If characters are already forwarding to you, then they are changed to forward to [character] instead. Character renames and name swaps don't affect the system.
48) Vaults now accept abbreviated item names for depositing and withdrawing.
49) When you logon, characters on your /nopk list that are clan members, pacifists or no longer exist are removed.
50) Multiple messages saying "[character] logged on" or "[character] left the game", (when the person is on your friend/enemy list or in your clan and you are on the same square as them) have been stopped.

52) When you logon, characters on your friend/enemy lists that no longer exist are removed.

54) '/throw [direction/character] [gold]' has been added.
55) '/pickplayers [amount]' can now be used by players in the mosh arenas for picking random teams.
56) When mosh hp draining is on, the '/mosh log' now says that you were removed from the mosh for having low hp.
57) '/showstats [character]' now shows [character] your spells.
58) '/[enemy/friend/ignore/nopk] clear' now tells people on it that you have removed them from your list.
59) The AFK/DND system now says "minute" instead of "minutes" when the number is 1.
60) '/get [amount] [itemname]' can now be used to pickup multiple items of the same name in 1 go.
