Quest Beta 5.13b [Feb 26, 2009] (Dlorak)
	Thoughts:
	*Briefly, this version is a patch of monsters. Monsters are the essential measuring stick for everyone and we want their levels to correlate to player levels for various balance reasons (exp, item drops, certain formulas). Recall, in 5.13 a we fixed a big bug that players didn't have armor. In 5.13a the same bug has been fixed for monsters. We also added some very minor boosts to monster stats so they more closely correlate to players. In short, monsters need to put a fight to reasonably equiped players and are intended to be balanced. This brings Quest closer to that ideal. (Yup, its a nerf too.)

	unpopular new stuff:
	*balance, monsters HP starts out at same pace as players, but higher tier monsters have progressively large HP bases.
	*balance, monsters weapons were scaling up too quickly early on, and too slowly at higher levels.
	*balance, monsters were basically fighting without any equipment. Armor was zero, mods were zero. Gave appropriate scaling mods to monsters: way less than the bonuses from commons at all levels, but slightly increasing towards common-like mods at higher levels.
	
	bug fixes:
	*Monsters armor% was decreasing as they leveled (stuck around 7%). They have more armor now (increasing as they level).



Quest Beta 5.13 [Feb 26, 2009] (Dlorak)
	new stuff:
	*Sell prices to the vendors have been slightly modified:
		commons sell for the same amount as prior.
		weapons sell for 1/2 as much as prior.
		uncommons, rares, supers, and legendaries sell for less than before.
                [The purpose is to encourage trade, why sell an item on the AH when you only get 20% more
                than if you sold to the shop? let it be 100%+, and worth your while to put it on the AH!]
		(Smallest decrease in sell price to uncommons, largest decrease to legendary)
	*Mining requirements on high distance rocks raised. Larger skill investment required to mine excellent jewels.
	*AH transactions go to your CHEST (bank) instead of your on-hand cash. [Fingolfin]
	

	bug fixes:
	*armor% now DOES WHAT IT SAYS IT DOES!! [Funny how we all didn't notice for those first few days! Too busy leveling...]
	*the last use of a potion no longer has funky HP changes
	*Bosses fixed! Multiple people can fight bosses at the same time.
	*Bracers available on AH.
	*Won't crash client when adding (blank) skill points to a skill.
	*Mining jewels drop with rarity, the correct stats, and level requirements. Previously mined jewels will not be deleted.

	*Updated tiles.bmp once again thanks to redman
	*A one second delay between player queries and pk attacks has been added
	*PK system has been modified. In original release low pingers had the advantage because the server compared player coordinates of both players. In the new release the clients do prediction so that it is possible for someone to hit you from faraway because on their screen they see you as being close to them. But this will balance out because it means that you can run up and hit a lagger and on their screen you will still be far away but then they can hit you as they see you coming. So its all a balanced equally I hope you understand.
	*Hawk removed the need for the comdlg.ocx which was needed in cottages/barracks and moved the file into the game. That should remove a lot of people's errors.
	*Modified the way you view other players on your map. There is a small delay of them moving but I have now added a target system. So it should reduce the amount of people you see walking on water and should more carefully follow their true path.
	*The PK system should also now work in the dungeon as well. So don't expect that you can still hide in their to escape _________ (shit I forgot the person that kills everyone)
