Looking at it the other way round, if you need high iron ore for your current character to level up blacksmithing, you are most likely to find it.

I'm an addon author myself. And for a living, I do write code which ends up in security applications.

So you can imagine that hidden/undocumented functions are a big NO in my books.

Of course one can brute force to get a list of accessible houses of a target player - I wonder if the response is as coarse as "you do teleport" or "you can't teleport" or as fine grained as to why...

I don't have much hope for this. Background Music seems to be quite deeply embedded in the system and not controllable via the LUA API.

It starts with the simple fact that the BGM fades out whenever...
