It's the way things are normally done on Unix like systems. Any files or folders that a user normally does not need to interact with directly are made "hidden" by adding a . in front. This also includes configuration files and the like. It will keep the overview clean when a user is browsi...

Pitty, it would've been so cool if your super-merchant could sell gold for more then it's worth
