Basic character data, currency and AA are being loaded/saved from the database, currently working on the rest right now.
- Character blob removed from load for testing. Lots of cleanup yet to be done so don't judge code yet.
Saves:
- Two FULL saves when looting a corpse, this has been reduced to just currency saves on initial loot and trimmed to one save since AddToMoneyPP did it already
- Every time a player moves coin with any situation (Splits/Trades/Merchant/Skills/Bank Coin Exchange/Coin Moves), a full save is made, this is now just a currency save
- Every time a player skilled up at a skill vendor, a full blob save hit was made, this is not just a currency hit
- A 2.4GB character_ table will take 7 seconds to query on a SSD versus .1s on the character_lookup table
- This also causes applications like Magelo to burst reads of the entire character table because of the blob fields that come with the reads, as much as 500-600MB/s even if a indexed id filter is provided
- This field is synchronized on player save and has 0.001s DB hit
- When we split out from the blob, ideally this table can be removed, but it really does no harm in mirroring data when a 2.6GB character table mirrors everything subtracting blob data down to 8MB

Included in the required SQL is weather data pulled from NewZone live packets for up to PoP. An update to EQExtractor will be made to grab the rest of the data from existing collects.
Please note: Until weather data is grabbed for zones later than PoP, weather will not work in those zones.
