I have started expanding this further now. I have edited the PEQ editor to allow expansion settings in the npc, spawns, items, loot and it appears to be working. Before if I found an item or npc that was out of era I would just delete the item, now I mark it for the appropriate era. Since we are a progression server I may not necessarily want the item deleted. This will work off the expansion setting in the database. I still have a lot of testing to do, but so far it is
working well.
Ignore the expansion settings I have things set for, I was just changing them and repopping to make sure it was working. I also put some effort to make sure it was not throwing the drop rates off from having to skip items.
