As of approximately 1:45PM PST. A real big thanks go out especially to OneST8 for a great deal of help with the subrace and death systems and the new teleporting system for mages and druids., plus I forgot about him in the last update. *sheepish grin* And thanks go to IceDragon for being patient with me over the last 3 days and missing her Plen and orth.

Death system totally rewritten from the ground up and is working (pretty sure)
Much more efficient Subrace handling, let me know how it works.
Time Sync problems has been resolved
Dragon Isles and Serpent Isles have had an overlift.
Shoufal has been fixed (doors and water)
A few more caves now have torch light
Temple of Deliar now has auto closing doors
Port Hampshire doors that were relocking no longer are

Dye prices are adjusted and will get no cheaper after this
Tower of Nature (east) is fixed

Emergency Teleporter was moved to the back of the Forest of Summons, go through the door to Memory Lane if you don't get autoportalled. Only use the Emergency Teleporter if all else fails.
Items are no longer removed from existing players so don't worry if it doesn't autoportal you. Just walk down Memory Lane.
Added Wizard and Druid teleportation systems
More typo fixes
