Change to Save Points

One problem that has occurred quite regularly is that players would simply just head straight to their destination and not look for these Save Spheres, some completely unaware that they exist.

We have now removed Save Spheres and implemented a system where it is possible for you to set your save point simply by staying still within any bed on the server for 15 seconds from the point you are fully healed, after 5 seconds a timer will be displayed to indicate this is happening until a final display confirms it, you can also prevent this from happening by pausing.
Both your normal and dungeon-specific Save Points are now listed within the Notebook weapon.

Certain character/sign messages have been changed to explain how to do this, the hope is that this is something that will be instilled in new players so that they know they can do this before any Quest or remember it in the event of respawning a long distance from their destination, there is also the chance that people could discover how to do it accidentally incase they haven't read any of the messages explaining it.

Interesting, I like this.
