Yep, I added books about the time I added about 100 blank
keys.
Unfortunately with the keys I made them cheap because I
figured...hey, they're just keys, someone will buy one and
use it to set up a house and they can sell it for profit
to another player.
Unfortunately all the keys were purchased by one person
since they were so cheap and nothing was added to the game.

All the keys are back in at a much higher price, I'd hoped
the addition of unique keys would add a lot to locksmiths
who wanted to go into real estate and give people a chance
to own their own home.

As far as the old board...The guy who was running the old
one had something screw up his computer and he lost a bunch
of files or something. I was using this voy.com one as a
placeholder but it seems to be ok as far as allowing the
posting of messages about the MUD.
