Hm... I seem to recall that you drop unpaid items when you die inside
a shop. Could somebody please verify this?

Works with all server crashes. That's not a cheat, and it's becoming
increasingly difficult to crash the server.
A couple of server versions allowed doubling with client crashing,
though :-)

Not really. It takes a while to get 60 dragon scales (the location was
in Butakis castle, not pupland. I don't remember a power dragon mail
in pupland, but this doesn't mean much --- I already had a mithril
chainmail of winter when I explored pupland).
In any case, they have removed it. There is now only one place where
a power dragon mail can be gotten (actually there are more, but only
one places makes sense if you still need a powerdragon mail).

Yep :-) That's the classic way to get a few levels of exp. It works
rather well between level 10 and 25 or so, but doesn't make much sense
beyond that. There is just one such map (so it's "street", not
"streets" :-)).

Doubling no longer works, due to lack of server crashing techniques.

No, most of that is well known anyway. You didn't post the neat abuses
(most of which have been removed as well).
