It's first use is for handling the world MOTD in the database.

Hard-coded MOTD will be used otherwise.

1. Save character now saves the zone name to current_zone instead of zone.
   
2. Following opcodes need to be sourced into the database:
   

update opcodes set opcode=76 where name='OP_ReadyToZoneMsg';

update opcodes set opcode=70 where name='OP_ChangeZoneMsg';

update opcodes set opcode=74 where name='OP_AddGroupToGroupMsg';

1. I have noticed some zones do not work properly
   

(befallen and boat_freeport for examples) and may get stuck in there.
