Fixed bug in authorization server. More work on quests. Fixed some bugs relating to how quests where being stored.

2014 February 16th
Did some work on the way quests are structured.
Fixed bug where leaving tab with drop sub menu open causes keyboard to be non responsive. Fixed \ key not working in chat.
2014 February 15th
Moved objects up slightly when being dropped by player so they won't fall into the world.
Added check where if client simulates an object moving, it will request a position update for the object from the server if it does not get one soon afterward. This prevents objects ending up in the wrong location on the client.
Fixed when opening inventory and crafting tab is loaded crafting tab open callback was not called. Fixed bug where clicking drop button twice without closing drop menu causes things to not respond to mouse clicks.
