A few things, Unixmad.

Delete the system that says what is going on, unless what is going on effects the player directly. It lags ALOT when the screen fills up with messages. Also, the NPC server is down. That could also be fixed.
Also, disable all weapons but the pliers in the blacksmith place, I hate being in the middle of crafting and having some wingnut come kill me.

Thank you for stating the obvious. I am sure that he already knows all of these things.
