Vendors and starting items..?

[mythren]

I downloaded a fully (or mostly..)spawned world from somewhere around here, don't remember exactly where, but thanks to whoever posted it!

Anyway, when I start a new character, they are naked, completely. When I open my server to a group of people I know, I want them to at least start with the rudimentary dagger/short sword/club and the 2 spells (if available for their class)...any way to do this?

Vendors. They have a menu to buy from, but no items, and you can't sell to them for some reason. Any ideas?

Oh yeah, also, are some Epics not in the game? I can't seem to locate the Enchanters, ShadowKnights, or Bards (Staff of the Shissar, Innoruuk's Curse, and Singing Steel Short Sword)...thoughts on this matter?

And another thing (sorry, just remembing these last 2 now ), is there a current way to set it so that players have no privelages such as #itemsearch or #summonitem ?

Thanks for any help!!
