&gt; Also, for those of us who are slowly cranking on our own code, what features
&gt; are the most important to be able to do while the server is running?
&gt; 
&gt; For example, adding, modifying etc. rooms in the game world.  Or fiddling
&gt; with item stats (like base damage for generic longswords, or whatever).

I'd say both are extremely important.  Basically, you'll want the
ability
to change as much of the world as possible, including players, mobs,
objects,
doors, rooms and scripts if you have them.

Other things like automating the process where you copy over a new world
DB image, or a new server binary also help keep the downtime to a
minimum,
if indeed that causes downtime at all (It does on Scry...).

&gt; 
&gt; Silence is almost functional networking code
