Losing your MF/GMF/JT just because you transitioned and triggered an auto-save is a pain in the ass for wildshapers.

So implemented a new feature which allows you to turn autosave on transitions on or off.

It works similarly to the notell function, just send a tell to yourself and follow it with autosave on/off.

eg:

/t "My Character Name" autosave off

or

/t "My Character Name" autosave on

If you turn it off you will get a big warning. Please do not come crying to us if you lose hours of grinding/trading/RP because you forgot you had disabled it and the server crashes.

Please note this does not stick between resets (it may or may not survive logging in/out - not sure), so you need to reset it if you want.

Remember to manually save when you want to. Auto-save still works when you rest regardless of your settings providing the 5 minute timeout has passed.

A word of advice: Anyone thinking they are clever and can use this feature to dupe items, be warned. If anyone is caught doing this intentionally (yes, duping can happen anyway unintentionally, we know), I will see to it that the characters involved are perma-deleted along with all items duped and a very strong warning given. We may also remove the feature, which means you will be causing the loss of a useful feature for those who play wildshapers. Please keep this in mind.
