News this week I've moved server to 1.6.1 not 1.6.2
We lost disguises and movecraft.
Disguises will hurt the most, but it will likely have a working update shortly.
I have been examining the Merchant NPC issue as well, much to my surprise there is dozens if not hundreds of them which is odd.
So far the only pattern I can see is that most of the faulty Traders were using an invincibility exploit.
(basically you set an npc as both guard and trader - and it can kill without people being able to attack back) So for the most part in those cases it is that players own fault - i think one of the NPC updates stopped the ability to have 2 type flags at some point.
Interestingly however banker bob also messed up - so there may also be another issue such as flags as well.
Also hundreds of NPCs exist, which given the cost and rank needed for one tells me there is likely another eco or npc exploit somewhere - although it is also possible when the npc cost was disabled (never found out how/who) everyone went mad making them.
In any event I am examining a backup prior to the issue to compare. I can restore this file but current npc money and stock and any new npcs would vanish - to at this point I am just looking.

Also, at the moment we can no longer accept donations, Paypal just screwed up their account lock triggers again, and it appears every donation I get at the moment disables my paypal account - which given the amount of components we pay for with paypal could severely cripple my business until it is resolved, so now not only do i have to waste hours stocktaking and getting all my accounting paperwork sorted for taxation, i now have to mess around even more with even more paperwork to even trade at all now. Meanwhile all this paperwork costs me actual paying jobs; and earns me nothing.
Great (*&(*^ job paypal, talk about the worst possible timing.

You know this happened to me recently (on a verified and everything account) too. Although it's my non-significant paypal so I should be fine. Bad luck brother I hope you get this all sorted out quickly.

Same with my verified business account Fucked me over big time. Would not accept that a sole trader with a trading name as being able to accept donations.
Need a registered pty ltd to pass the counter terrorism and anti money laundering check.
This was for my hobby business account. Good part while it was frozen. Stopped my wife from eBay shopping lol

I already went through all this with them back when I got the first donation. I was already approved. SO if they are asking again they screwed up their end somewhere.
I was thinking donations wise i've almost recovered the costs to setup the server - although the internet costs are always ongoing - its harder to allow for that....; i should convert all the contribute buttons to pay now type buttons instead.. but that wont help me NOW with the account bjorked.
What sucks is i use paypal to pay my laptop parts supplier.. i can pay other ways in an emergency but argh!

Skull - phone them. In any event ive given them the one finger salute for donations, and reactivated my paymate account. Least now we can code a logical IPN in perl or php to auto apply ranks server side if we feel particualrly special

Careful what you code, security wise.

If i code it, would basically flow like this: refer page from paymate fires page, with the response code of valid transaction, script checks must be valid refer page, must be valid response code, must be valid username in ref (not sure if response has ref ... ill have to 2x check - if it does we can setup a shopping website, click type of upgrade blah) if all proves valid, add necromancer(or selected) rank to groups of specified user log event in text file with debug info in case of evil hax0r trigger a permissions reload job done
Likewise item shop purchases do all checks, decode ref code, run console command to give player purchased item - this gets tricky for enchanted gear tho - may need a kit plugin that lets you specify a player, and only works at console
in any event i would unlikely be the one coding it - our server is php/python, I am cgi/perl coder, I dont do php/python.
or I could also use a webshop plugin / gift code if one exists.. ie you buy item in webshop, it gives you a special code, in game you type /claim code to get your purchase
lot of options including the plugins listed the other day
no rush anyway, its not like we a 300 slot on a 20mb link
