Another two little custom things for easy server setup:

DisableRaidCurse (default false) and UseDeepBlueDropRulesRaid (default true).
Now you can kill 20lvl RB with 85lvl char without petrification or silence (DisableRaidCurse)
and even get drop (UseDeepBlueDropRulesRaid).
For PvP and enterntainment servers.
