New DM "Aux" / Updates / Server Downtime

[GodBeastX]

Please welcome DM Aux to our team. As with all our new DMs he will be a DM Intern until he proves he knows how to kill all the players without getting complaints

Also, I had tested the Reputation system. It is pretty much done, but has a few tiny bugs I'll be fixing tonight. The client pack will be large because of rebake of the who module (Obsidian changed the Baking mechanics again which makes all the walkmeshes different.)

There will be server downtime tonight while I test and update to the new reputation system as well as upload client pack. It's so large if I upload while you guys are playing, there will be lag and lag deaths, which I don't want

The "visual" ingame effects from this reputation system will be small at first. This weekend will likely open up ways to modify rep and such and grow. However, we have to test some things and see how we like them and also have the rep system in before any of that. There will be a UI for viewing reputations very soon as well as tools for our DMs to modify reputation. For now a command ".reputations" will tell you your reputation standing.

There are also many other updates to this, some very welcome surprises

o, and good luck to you Aux. You will need it. Seriously, the DMs I have seen so far are pretty damned good at killing off PCs.....
