I haven't looked to check, but it makes sense to me to save upon entry simply for the purpose of charging rent. Things that change when you enter the game: 1. You are charged for rent. 2. The time left on the effect flags (spells and such) is updated. 3. Your HP, MANA and MOVE may also be updated. Is that reason enough to save? I would have to check to verify that all of this happens upon entry, but I am pretty sure it does. ##=====================###================================================## || Joshua Sky Barrow ||| Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Science || ##=====================###================================================## || 19 Central St., #28 ||| "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. || || Somerville, MA ||| If you can dream it, you can become it." || || 02143-2834 ||| Unknown || ##=====================###================================================## || (617) 666-0859 ||| E-mail: jsbarrow@fas.harvard.edu || ##=====================###================================================##
