Is it possible that in addition to the auto-close at armageddon arrival, also
chests could _try_ to close again just at shutdown? I know it may not be as
reliable because sometimes wizzes crash game before final boot, etc...but it
might remove some of those situations where you're chesting after armageddon
arrives, and something makes you forget to close a chest/coffer/cabinet/closet/
etc
Why don't you just ask that chests saves stuff even when they're open. And
while you are at it, ask that all stuff on inventory saves too without the
help of gnomes. Heck, while you're at it, ask that all stuff scattered over
the lands of BatMUD will save automagically. Uh oh better yet, ask some cuddly
archwizard to slay armageddon for good!
Geez, when you guys learn how to handle your precious eq with your own hands
and brains?
