I don't know what's wrong, either, but if this makes you feel any better,
I had and still have the same problems..

*ahem*
Guilty as charged, I'm afraid...in fact, the malfunction was caused by improper
handling AND a bug. When some text is passed over as the dbref to link to,
it is converted to a zero in the program, and I forgot to check that before
actually
linking the 'room'. Now, before Myrla gets mad about that, I already fixed it.
;)
The prog is still a bit sensitive, tho; I'll make it a bit more fool-proof
later...

BTW, the exits in room #0 can only be seen by examining the room, so no chance
for your
unenlightened mortal eyes to get action spammed there! Yaddayaddayadda! :)
(I didn't expect #0 to be THAT mysterious anyway; Can't even mortals tport
there?)

Now here comes something Jabari might want to @fwap me for...
(we have a global 'fwap' action among with some others, BTW! Look at a list with
'hug #glist' ;) )
Why don't we have something like a global taxi system as seen on FURRY? I mean,
I'd also prefur
something else than ANOTHER boring taxi, but I consider it as VERY useful!
To be honest, I strolled around the MUCK a few times now, but was rarely able to
discover
some decent areas without using my wiz powers. Even WITH the use of @find an ex
it was pretty
difficult, that's why I wonder how a MORTAL would stumble into interesting
locations...
Sooo... The global tport dests are fine, but a taxi would be even better in my
opinion, no?

Let me know if I'm not the only fur with those thoughts, then all I need would
be
a permission from Tigra or Myrla, and some volunteers with good ideas regarding
the
description, the available locations and all this stuff, since I can't do
EVERYTHING. ;)

Okay, a last NOTE.
As you all should know, the fur known as Salem is FuzzyLogic's official mayor,
(I won't rant about the way the election was done, that did Myrla already...)
and therefore has the privilegue (AND NOW THE ABILITY!) to change the currency.
So expect a change in the next few hours, I'm sure he's going to try it out.
