Reviewed Mystic Doors.
Fixed several issues showing up on Duey in uncommon scenarios.
Fixed a concurrency issue with XMLDomMapleData.
Scheduled forward the "lock disposal" action within the source. Now, it's expected that, after a set while, no method should require usage of a disposed lock and, during that while, a supposed "disposed lock" is still available to run (although no new processes is expected to require use of these locks).
Fixed concurrency issues with player's current event instance, generating several inconsistencies when swiftly registering/unregistering from events.
Implemented a mutually exclusive approach for server message - Boss HPbar.

Implemented dynamic world/channel shutdown, coupling with the dynamic deployment from last commit rendering on a fully automated world/channel management.
Fixed some spawned mobs not being properly registered on events.
Implemented a respawn mechanic sensitive to number of players on map. More mobs will spawn the greater the number of players is. Server flag: USE_ENABLE_FULL_RESPAWN = false.
Implemented a mechanic for delayed mob loot drops, on which the delay is determined by the death animation duration. Server flag: USE_SPAWN_LOOT_ON_ANIMATION = true.
Fixed EIM being disposed incorrectly when the dispose is called through scripts.
Protected concurrently AP and SP distribution handlers.
Slightly improved HealOvertimeHandler performance.
Fixed Duey not propagating equipment level and experience when transfering items.
Buyback now has a short grace period, granting the returning player time for decision making (players won't die right away, rather sticks at 1HP).

Fixed "maxhpmp" command allowing to pass negative values.
Added "8-slot SETUP expand" item on the CashShop.

The duration of mists generated by mobs has been rescaled to 10x longer than what has been displayed until now (wz duration property is supposed to actually be in 100ms).
Optimized timer management for mob skill cooldown and elemental effectiveness.
Implemented an additional inventory check system, to be used in cases where it's expected to remove a set group for items (with quantity) to then add a new group of items.
Fixed Player Shop/Hired Merchant "vacancy" tooltip, now properly showing whether the store has a visitor room or is already full at that time.
Fixed Player Shops only using the standard stand type.
Fixed cash pet food ignoring certain pet itemids when reading data from WZ.
Repelled ultimately the game-breaking issue that was introduced recently on the revamp of the login phase.
Optimized the getcurrenttime calls to the OS. Made most of the handler calls fetch directly from the Server object instead, the Server itself delegated with periodically updating the current time value. The result is an slightly delayed currenttime, backed with realtime value update within minutes.
Protected concurrently inventory sort handlers. Expected no more NullPointers from the sorting feature.
Added a server flag to limit cash items being sold on player shops/hired merchants.
Stabilized the MapleTV mechanics, and activities properly split by world.

Implemented an improved scheduler system for channels, on where Runnables objects are "registered in" to run on a scheduled future time (effective run time will depend on the proc time of the worker acting under-the-hood).
Implemented a channel scheduler for detecting "mobs currently on animation state". This allows the server to send info to the client about whether a mob should cast a skill or not at that moment.
Improved concurrent protection on MapleMonster listeners registry.

Engineered the ThreadTracker: server-embedded deadlock auditing tool, which will print error messages in case of found deadlocks (also showing all in-use locks on the time of the issue).
Changed the player's id on DB now starting from 20mil, thus preventing players from overwriting NPC/mobs with same oid in-game. Requires proper testing to see if the issue has been cleared.
