Can you please add current age to prompt <age> or so, thanks.

It would be an easy fix, but why in the name of all that is holy do you want
to have it in your prompt? To produce more lag? It's not like your age changes
more often than your underwear.

Lots of eqmobs have +age specials, undeads cast entropy spells etc. So if
someone is already very old they want to know when they go ancient immediately
since that agestep is very short and then get youth or reinc. It's cumbersome
to check age from score in these cases constantly.

You are right. But maybe if I coded something like:
<bright red> DING! You just advanced an age-category. You are now <age>.
I think that would be a better answer than messing with the prompt. I'll look
into it when I can spare the time.
