 The big rewrite is mostly finished and the server got a major upgrade.

 The main change was a complete rewrite of the map handling in the server.
 Maps are now loaded and handled by Perl and are loaded asynchronous now,
 the player will be placed on a link map (named '{link}') while waiting for the
 new map to load. Real per-player maps are also possible now.

 There has been a bug in the building system (player
 buildable maps) which will remain until the server has been restarted
 There also have been added blood puddles to some low level
 monsters in the CVS, on the next server update (which might be soon) this will
 also show up. The plan is to adjust most monsters to drop blood after death,
 for now look our for ie.: goblins, kobolds and orcs! Also further work has been done
 on the worldmap, soon the worldmap can be generated alone from

 Updates shops in scorn, port joseph, stoneville, santo dominion,

 We increased the required level of Meteor Swarm to 60 because
 we agreed that level 12 is way too low for a spell as powerful as that.
 We are planning on lifting the levels for other spells as well. This will
 be reported on the website. Also, the new flesh pickup mode is available
 and a crash bug has been workarounded.
