Hi all,

StudentQuest has begun to feel the pressure of many characters logging in and getting 'stuck' in zones. A lot have people have asked me to enable the #movechar eqemu command. But before I do, I would like to perform some research.

A few issues:

I cannot find the #movechar command listed in the EQEmu guides, linked to from the home page.
What is the format for this command?
What rights does this command give players over other players?
Can this be adjusted to allow movement of characters only linked to the same account or by GMs?
Can we add this information to the guides?
Can I make more demands in a single post? ;)

Once I get some input for these questions, I should be able to make a decision as to whether I will enable the #movechar command or not.

iirc, #movechar only moves characters on that players account unless it's a GM account issuing the command. I haven't looked at the code in a while but that's what I recall from when it was implemented.

It basically allows characters to move a stuck character to the zone of their choice. You could limit it with a little additional coding if you wanted to, so that players can move to a safe zone, designated by you, as always up/working.

Very good.
Close inspection of the code shows that yes, you can only move characters on your own account.

Cheers, thanks for your help :)
