The goal to get the newly found item to the king as quickly as possible would likely work against the requirement to speak with an NPC. The item-bearer's name being in red is really the only tip-off to a passerby that he has the ring. By the time the passerby has made it to the pvp npc, the item-bearer will have already turned in the item to his king.
I like the idea of the new client check sub EVENT. That could have lots of applications. I guess I'll have to wait till that comes out to implement this feature.
On a similar note, if I knew anything about developing and adding a new sub EVENT, I'd volunteer to add one that launches an mp3 upon entering a zone. I have played with the open file command (open FILE, "filename.txt" or die $!; ), but have not been successful in getting it to work.
