When you /consent someone it will give them the ability to drag all of your corpses. Shouldn't the current state be the most recent corpse only?
You can now buy stacks of combinable items (such as rations, water, etc...) from merchants. It works the same way as sell in that you can hold down shift to buy a full stack and control to buy just one item. Need to disable this functionality.
Added the ability to change the color of all windows at one time with /wincolor (all windows that can be changed, that is). You can now use /wincolor ALL 0 0 100 2, for example, instead of having to set each window separately.
Right-clicking items while looting will 'auto-equip' them. This will work just as if you had picked the items up and dropped them onto the 'auto-equip' area of your character profile. So if there is already a piece of equipment on your character in the spot where the looted item would normally go, it will drop into your inventory, if you have room for it. Is there a way to disable this quick looting of corpses, until the appropriate time?
The tab key will no longer toggle between you and your last target when the chat bar is up. When the chat bar is open the tab key will take you through the list of your most recent /tell names or /reply names. When the chat bar is closed the tab key will switch you between yourself and your last target.
/assist has an added parameter. /assist on and /assist off will determine whether or not your character auto-attacks when you use /assist. So if you type /assist off, from that time forward using /assist will NOT engage your character's auto-attack. This change will be persistent, so it will remain as you left it when you log out. /assist also now has a range of 200 feet. Any ideas on the prior distance for assist?
The destroy confirmation requestor now shows the name of the item you are trying to destroy, or it just says money if you are destroying coins. This should greatly reduce the chance of accidentally deleting the wrong item. PLEASE read the text in the destroy confirmation box to be certain that you are destroying the right item before choosing to destroy it. Currently the destroy confirmation box tells you what the item is or if it is coin, should be disabled until appropriate time.
Hailing Player Character will now say 'Hail Playername', rather than just 'hail'. Need to fix this as well, currently adds the name of the player.
Added /charinfo command. Currently this command only reports the zone where the current character is bound. We may add further information as things progress. Need to disable this command until the appropriate time.
You will now see how much damage your character has taken when he is hit by a spell that causes instant damage (DOT damage is not reported). [b]I read this to mean that you shouldn't see how much damage you get hit for. Currently you are told the exact amount when the spell lands on you. Also dot damage is reported to the client and displayed. Both need to be disabled until the appropriate time.

***Patch Day***
*General Changes*
-- Numeric skill values will be shown on character skill display for
skill values over 100. Values under 100 still show the qualitative
identifiers.
-- Players have expressed concern about accidentally inspecting other
players. You can now turn on or off your ability to inspect other
players by typing /inspect.
-- Those of you with z-axis mouse wheels on your mice may use them over
the chat window.

May 30, 2001
- Changed the spelling of Troubador to Troubadour for the 55th level
bard title.
- The Alt key now works in several new situations. It will now show
item names when in the trade window. Because the trade items of the
local player and the trading partner are so close together, the item
names of the trading partner will always show up unless the player
positions their mouse pointer over the local player part of the trade
window, which will cause the game to only show the local player's trade
item names.
- The Alt key will show item names for items in your bank.
- The Alt key will also pop up names for merchant items and corpse
items when you hold it down in merchant mode or loot mode.
- The Alt key will even pop up names for items in open containers when
held down and the mouse cursor is over the open container window (they
don't show up otherwise).
- /who GUILD (and the GUILD must be in caps) will now show you the
members of your guild in your zone. You can also specify a guild name,
such as /who "Irontoe Brigade".
- The messages for eating and drinking now say "Chomp... Chomp," or
"Glug... Glug..." so that they can't be copied with emotes.
