Subject: possible fame stupidity
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's been a lot of clamoring for cleanup on fame, to make it so that
fame in areas that's in the wrong rack shows up correctly.  This last
couple of boots installed a ton of sanity checks to kick out warnings when
this happens, and I've been doing a lot of reracking and zone splitting. 

As a good example of this, Trinsic used to be three racks, the city, the
caverns, and the forest, with rooms in different zones all over the place
and mobs loading in the wrong zone.  This morning, I went through that
mess, split it into four proper zones, and moved the mobs around until most
of them are in the right place.  As a result, some of the fame mobs, like
Kentarius, will probably need to be refamed. Another example is the dark
forest between Old Thalos and Chaos, which was composed of four different
zones mapped together.  That is no longer the case.

This is probably not going to be a short process, and you can expect to see
quite a few things move around.  The current notify list posts nearly 800
warnings at boot, each of which is a mob in the wrong place.  Only a
fraction of those will be fame, but even 30 fame mobs in the total would
still cause a lot of churn.

There will be far too many areas hit to justify posting a change list, so
don't expect one.  We also have some area releveling to do to try to
sanitize the world map.

In general though, I would say you can look forward to having a much more
sane, consistent world in the future, and as we get this first pass of
stuff under control, I think everyone will see improvement.

Thanks,
