I agree, I have heard from other players that the quit command is a
problem.  I got zapped by it when I started playing too come to think
about it. I think the command should be changed to 'kill' or 'retire' or
something actually.

      also on 3072 instead of "quit character", "delete character" might be more

      Also a simple clarity thing:  in my opinion the label "Quit Client" is not
