Your known languages and language skills can now be check with the "languages" command. They didn't quite make it with the rest of the people skills, but fear not - they still work exactly like they did before!

The "other" tree has been split into "people" and "adventuring". This is in order to advance our agenda of making skills better categorized and defined!

The only practical effect of this should be that the points and teaching skills have been cloned, but there will be more to come int he future!

Picking your rearrange is one of the more permanent and important decisions on the MUD, and requires thinking about a number of factors.

Enjoy!

A few tweaks to improve your PK ladder experience:

1) Being offline for more than 7 days flags you as being "inactive". Inactive people will show up on the ladder view in cyan, with [inactive] by their name.

2) Inactive people are not counted as possible targets. Therefore your three targets will be the three people ahead of you in the list, skipping over any inactives.

3) Every 24 hours, all inactive players will drop one rank until they fall off the bottom of the ladder. This means it's...
