Changes are never going to change.

Unfortunately that's kind of the nature of the beast. Although
I liked writing the Inferno areas, they seem perpetually
antiquated to me which means I'm always heading in and fixing
things up or updating the areas with more current mud code.
Given the massive size of the areas, the only way to keep
updating them is to do it piecemeal. There's MUD functionality
that we have now that we didn't have 6 years ago when those areas
were written that really allow the area writer to do cool things
that I wish I could have done way back when.

So, if you notice things change in Hell, just keep in mind that
it's something of an organic project. The thinking player should
be fine, though; you'll never see too much change at once simply
because I don't have the time to make changes on a broad scale.

I was able to peek in on you a couple times while in Hell
and you seemed to be doing fine. If you think any of the changes
broke something (I can't tell if you're implying that change
is bad or what), please let me know via email and I'll take
a look.
