Yeah that might work too but the NPC thing I can work around by just copying the pl to all the zones if need be, but it doesn't work for the user.
I wish I could code, I looked through the CVS code and found the questmanager code but after about a half hour of looking at all the code my brain started to hurt.
Having a server and zone-wide *.pl's for NPC's and users could be used for some nice GM events. But again I can't code (yet) and it's just an idea so if it's easy to implement then cool if not I'll have to wait till I learn how to code.
