Be warned, I've just skimmed through the auto-generated list of mobs most often attacked by people far below their level and fixed up a few of the worst offenders.
This includes (but is not limited to) some Jher, Underdark, and Titan mobs, as well as the wandering Xantheus priest. So be careful if you're well under their level.

I've just downstatted a few of the tougher mobs in Pentir Thieves' Guild, and upstatted a few items. They still won't be a walk in the park (I recommend you bring a friend or two), but they should at least be vaguely reasonable where they weren't before.
Enjoy!

I've made a few tweaks to area exploration qps, to try getting them to do what they were intended to do... specifically, you now not only have to be within the area's soft range, you also have to be in the lower 30 levels of it. This is mainly because avs were able to log on at quiet times, do a quick run round the world on their usual route, and walk off with an extra 80qps for minimum effort.
As always, it's still not set in stone, so feedback welcomed.

I'm a big fan of the exploration qps idea, but I'm not sure
that in it's current form it'll be much of an incentive to actually
"explore" areas, since you get the qps the second you wander
into the fringe of an area. I was thinking (and mind you, I'm
not sure how hard this would be to code) that maybe we could
have exploration tokens that randomly generate in a room in
a given area that can be sac'd for 10qps or so. Once a token is sac'd,
it would reappear in another area (or maybe even another
room of the same area after a certain amount of time has elapsed).
That way people would actually have to explore areas to gain the
rewards instead of just going from area a to area b collecting the free qps and moving on.

Uh... there is a nolocate flag.
It's just not active on the mud...
Could just be the version of the smaug.
Aparently it's really easy to imp, from what I've read.

It's not part of 1.02a and I didn't implement it earlier cause we didn't have extended bitvectors earlier.
I'll stick it on the ol' to-do.
