srand zum Thema Hotfix und Downtime

At the same time that the Operations team was working on Frostfell and Leafcull, it came to the attention of the AC Live team that there was a problem with Thursday morning's hotfix. On Thursday morning we brought down the worlds to distribute new data files to the servers; these files fixed a serious issue in which unscrupulous players could get vast amounts of experience very quickly by exploiting a bug in the Legend of the Tusker Paw quest (a.k.a. the Bobo quest). On Friday afternoon we learned that this fix was not completely successful -- the exploit was still possible. In addition, the other small fixes we made with this hotfix were not working properly either. We traced the problem to an issue with the data files that we installed Thursday morning; we corrected the problem with those data files; and we made plans to install the corrected data files Saturday morning. In the meantime, we disabled the Bobo quest in order to remove any temptation to exploit the bug. Saturday morning we installed the corrected data files and enabled the Bobo quest once again.

The Saturday morning hotfix appears to have been entirely successful. Changes include:
- The Legend of the Tusker Paw quest is once again operating as intended.
- Behdo Yii is once again giving out healing kits and other material rewards for Olthoi pincers.
- Olcris is more forthcoming about how to get back to Knorr.
- The spells Mark of the Priestess and Blessing of the Priestess on the Knorr Helm are now counted as life cantrips instead of creature cantrips -- which means they no longer stack with other life cantrips, and no longer surpass creature cantrips.
