Is this column still being used since special_abilities was added?

Yes, it can still be used; however, the new abilities will not be added to it unless you do so yourself.

Anyone in the know if the column will eventually be deleted?

According to the Wiki page it was already removed, but I guess not.

"Changelog from 07/11/2013 -- npcspecialattks field was removed and a new field special_abilities was added.
Not removing legacy information for those that have not updated their DB yet."

It's not used, you can remove it if you want. But I still use it as a temp column on PEQ so that's why it's still in our DB.

I was mainly wondering for query purposes. When creating my new queries, I would not want to go back and change queries. I think I will remove it from queries because I feel it will get removed.

Yeah when I updated the info on the old wiki I left the original table info in for servers like EZ that do not update their source more then a couple times a year, if that.
In this case its dated info and can be ignored by pretty much everyone.
