The Idle and AFK systems have been separated to improve player experience and reduce unnecessary network load.

Auto AFK
Why this Change? Part of what we see in a critical hub zone such as Bazaar, is extremely high CPU, lag, causing a bad experience for other players trying to zone into the zone and function at all. This change aims to drastically reduce packet spam in the zone, keeping the zone lean and leading to a much better player experience when using the Bazaar. When a player with 4 pets is running in circles in the zone, it sends enormous amounts of position updates to X number of players in the zone, even those who are idle and don't need all of these updates.
When clients go AFK they stop receiving packet updates for movement. When they go un-AFK they get synchronized with all the clients around them.

* Needs new Zone Server (Probably won't work in Bazaar, will be more reliabile as zones cycle out) *
- #commands will be consumed in any channel (the spam should go down)
- attackmode ranged should be less laggy and more reliable for displaying weapons correctly
* Needs CLIENT UPDATE (PATCH) *
- Added the following command aliases
/pet (#petcmd)
/attackmode (#attackmode)
/autoskill (#autoskill)
- #commands should no longer echo in chat (even if nobody could see them when properly consumed)

4/2/2025 (Yes, this one is real)
- Reverted class deletions. Implemented <<# a u t o s k i l l>> instead
- Initially supports the following Skill attacks
Backstab
Bash
Tiger Claw
Eagle Strike
Dragon Punch / Tail Rake
Flying Kick
Round Kick
Kick
Frenzy
- Absolutely no timer deconfliction is executed by the command, please only enable skills you want to be used.
- Implemented #attackmode
- Rangers no longer display their bow by default. Any character can use #attackmode ranged to preferentially use their bow for autoattack and display
- Implemented #petcmd
- Pet window buttons (and hotkeys created from them, or /pet commands) only send instructions to the 'active pet' (the pet displayed in the window)
- 'Triple-pet' UI mod is not recommended, as it may be confusing as to which pet is 'active'
- added #petcmd to send instructions to ANY pets (send commands by class name, etc)
- Usage: #petcmd [attack, qattack, follow, guard, sit, stop, taunt (on\\off), hold (on\\off), ghold (on\\off), spellhold (on\\off), focus (on\\off), back, regroup (on\\off)] [all, mag, bst, nec, enc, shm, dru, brd, shd].
- Any number of command and target verbs may be used at the same time, and in any order
- /pet health and #petcmd health now display inventory for that pet
- Removed access to #mystats. On most servers, the inventory\player profile page is inaccurate and so mystats is needed. On this one, due to the unique nature of our technology, the inverse is true.
- Corrected bug which allowed creation of augmented items that were not usable in any slots.
- Syncrosatchels or equivalents will now consider slotted augments to determine which slot an item can be equipped into
- Splinters of Time which are not PRI\SEC\RANGE no longer require slotting into a weapon
- Dispel-type spells cast by players on players or player pets are no longer resistable.
- Dispel-type spells cast by mobs are now resistable.
- Fixed Monk class names display on Character Select
- Sol Ro Tower respawn timers have been fixed.
- Legends of Norrath cards no longer have a self consume clicky effect and have an updated lore.
- Innoruuk and Rallos Zeks adds no longer leash and assist their god
- Aid Grimmel quest npc should be more responsive now.
- The rztwl event in plane of tactics should behave even more as expected, with failure timers removed.
- The Fennin event in plane of fire should now correctly resume when returning to the zone and no longer fails on timeout.
- Plane of Earth a ring events rewritten to be more resilient to zoning out. (Thanks Pippz)
- Echo added to Splitpaw
- Mortal Coil is no longer blocked by random clickies
- Villagers in HoHA are now tethered and will not run full marathons.
- 61-65 LDoN spells have been added to PoP parchment turn in rewards
- 50-60 LDoN spells have been added to Warders, Ancients, Lords and Ladies in Velious
- Mistakenly remaining GoD and OoW spells have been removed from PoK vendors *and* player spellbooks.
- Lvl 62 BST and lvl 63 Necro pet now correctly scale their level.
- The likelihood of finding weapon augments has increased on the Glamour NPC.
- Aspect of the Reptile duration has been increased.
- /shield now works for Warriors level 30 or greater
- All entities are capped at 35 worn Shielding
- Switched Prismatic Strike to Chromatic resist type

This feature, unique to THJ, will provide an unparalleled graphics experience like you have never seen before! Enjoy AAA quality which you had never imagined that you'd see in this game. Please note that this is a REQUIRED feature, and out of date clients will be disconnected automatically, so please remember to patch!
- Nerfed Mnk/Mnk/Mnk
- Removed several redundant player classes; Monks, Rogue, Warrior, Wizard, Berserker are all classes who's roles are better performed by other classes, and so these have been permanently disabled.
- Bard has been removed because it is just too much trouble and causes too many bugs.
