    Subject keys/locks/doors etc

    Opening doors/locks/portals that are locked, now if you have the key in
    inventory, it just unlocks/opens when you do 'open X'.
    Same with 'lock east', if it's open, you close it, then attempt to lock it (or
    lock ). It assumes you're smart enough to close the damned thing
    before trying to lock it :P.

    Lmk if you find anything wonky.

    Subject RIP Memorial QI's at the Questmaster

    LOWBIE QI's!
    In homage of our fallen friends, please find Brim's pocketknife in {HQuest List
    Weapons{h, Raina's Backpack and Aquimer's figurine in {HQuest List Items{h. A
    nice little tribute, and lowbie EQ mirroring the assassin's dagger, grey
    backpack, and mojo rat (slightly better, leveling?). And obtainable by lowbies
    without highbie help.
    Ps. Look Brim, Look Raina, Look Aquimer when you get them. Thanks all.

    Subject Mudportal Autoapprove counting UP

    Hey guys, I've added {HMUDPORTAL{h command, I think it's imm level 4 (like
    newlock/wizlock etc).
    Use the {HMUDSTAT{h command to see what's on/off etc. If some toolshed is
    spamming asshat names, turn {HMUDPORTAL{h on and it'll make his counter to up
    instead of down. This way regular players can make their chars if we're MIA/AFK,
    but we can turn it back on if that dipshit comes back in.

    {HMUDSTAT{h shows what's locked out.

    Subject Quest buy 47 (oops)

    Brims & 'One practice point' no longer the same 'quest buy 47'. Note us if you
    bought a Brim's expecting a practice point and need it returned :).

    Subject Quest EXTEND

    You can now {HQUEST EXTEND{h if you have 5 or less minutes in a quest, at the
    cost of 5 quest points to SAVE THE STREAK! Basically, if you're almost done,
    but dang it, can't make it back.. don't want to lose that +10 QP from your
    streak of 20...

    Also, Imms can see/adjust your streaks now more easily.

    Subject QUEST TIME/STREAK updates

    BONUS now can affect QT (quest time), and STREAK (dang, lost 25 streak
    due to unreachable etc...) bonus LOSER streak 25.

    Also, SET. Set char NAME QS/QUESTSTREAK #.
    Also SET. Set char NAME QT/QuestTime #.
    Ps. Who's alive?

    Subject Skinlore

    Per about a 2 year ago idea, Skinlore levels balanced out.

    Subject SURGE wait (on fail)

    Also per 2021 idea (Thanks Lyrac), Surge delay on FAILURE is now cut in
    half (still slightly longer than if you didn't fail).

    The Thorbardin areas are now quest-free. Too many dead newbs and lost

    Shinare's now shows you your points as you complete them, just a little
    'hmm could be better' moment.
