something missing

[xxGriff]

first, hello, and my thanks to all who contribute.

I have a private server. up and running, killing and rather happy with SoD clients. running 0.8.0 and peqdb_rev1589 w/bots.

I have two things that may likely be something i missed or are known issues for newbs like me.

1) cannot combine in any tradeskill containers =\

2) mercenary liason's are in CR (none in PoK) and not responding to hails, i have not checked for them elsewhere...

all 4 computers connect to my server and log in, create chars and thus far all the quests in the tutorial are working and keeping my fam busy. i will need to be able to tradeskill and want SoD npc's in PoK (ie zone to void and hire mercs).

maps, quests are in the correct folders, yet cannot combine, i get "you cannot combine these items in this container type!"

thanks ~ Griff
