This solution here works fine - Ive had it running on two servers with no problems. You might want to consider placing it in the source;
Small details like this are important; The way you log in to the server after patch day and find all the merchants clean (wonder what you might find new). Or the way a mob spawns, what he drops, how he reacts when engaged. At the end, it all comes together and gives you the 'Everquest Live' feeling.
EDIT:
You must have just stickied it! Thanks Trev
