What about the Surefall Glade ports? They were technically implemented at this time with the TGB ability on the same patch I believe

I thought this too, but I checked Lucy's page for it and:

** Project M Implemented **
Tonight we have patched something to the PvP servers that many players
have been waiting for. The ability to play that gnoll, orc, or the cute
and fuzzy rat. On your character select screen you will notice another
button in the upper right part of your screen called "Monster".
Clicking this button will randomly place you in a low-level NPC in a
random zone. You will be given full control of the creature to do with
it what you like. You may hunt and kill other creatures. You may even
attack other players.
Some things to remember when playing your own personal monster (NPC).
-You will not be able to interact with players or NPC's other than
moving and hitting attack.
-You cannot speak, trade, sell, or do anything else that a player can
do.
-You will spawn with normal loot for the monster you are playing and
Player Characters will be able to kill you for loot and experience.
-If you are a spell casting monster you might want to take a moment to
memorize some spells.
-Once you die, you will return to the character select screen where you
may choose to return as another NPC or play your normal character.
-You may gain experience, levels, and skills as this NPC, but once you
die, it is all lost. You will need to start over the next time you
choose to be a NPC character.
-You can't zone as a monster.
-Monster PCs (MPCs) can not loot, sell, or gain items. They only get
what they start out with.
This ability to play a monster is being implemented for PvP servers
only as we have no plans to implement non-consensual PvP on a non PvP
server.
However, we are still working with this system. We may find other ways
to implement Project M on the non-PvP servers that are acceptable. We
aren't done looking at the possible uses of this new feature.
** PvP Server Related **
- Guards, when seeing PCs in combat, will now attack the one that they
like the least (the one with the lowest appropriate faction). If all
the PCs involved are highly regarded (have very high faction) the
guards will allow them to resolve their own issues without interfering.
- Guards should also refrain from attacking PCs that are attacked by
pets of any sort.
- Sullon Zek now has an across the board experience bonus of 20%, and
the experience loss on all deaths on Sullon Zek is now 50% less.
** Zone Specific Changes **
- Kael now has specific bind locations, located only at the entryways.
This means that binding will only be possible in those areas.
- Anti-bottom feeding code has been removed from the Stonebrunt
Mountains and the Warrens.
- Added a melee bind location to the dock in Iceclad.
** Bug Fixes **
- Fixed a bug that allowed corpses to exist inside walls. Now if a
corpse ends up in a location that is not 'valid' the corpse will be
moved to the 'safe coordinates' of the zone. Also, the /corpse command
will now summon your own corpse to you anywhere in the zone as long as
that corpse is on the safe spot of the zone. This should prevent
corpses from being stuck in walls.
- Fixed it so that Critical Hit damage messages match the actual damage done.
- The visible damage bonus modifier on two-handed weapons has been
corrected. The value that was displayed was incorrect, no change has
been made to the damage bonus itself.
** Item Changes **
- Fixed an issue with the Bardic Epic weapon. Now if the bard has his
Epic and an instrument that gives bonuses to songs, the best effect
will take precedence, rather than the Epic bonuses always being used.
- Cloak of Imperception should now have charges. You will need to
exchange your old one for a new one with your GM within the next five
days.
- Donal's Chestplate of Mourning has unlimited charges again.
** Gameplay/Interface Changes/Additions **
- We have changed the way the /consider command works. We have added a
'light blue' area between green and blue. NPCs that used to /consider
green but gave experience will now /consider light blue, as well as
NPCs of slightly lower level than those greens. You will always get
experience for something that is light blue. You will not receive
experience for greens. At the same time, by including lower level NPCs
in the light blue /consider, we have increased the range of lower level
NPCs that will grant experience. This will be most noticeable for
characters of higher level.
- Added /targetgroupbuff. Type /targetgroupbuff on to activate, off to
turn it off. When on, all group buff spells you cast will require a
target but will affect everyone grouped (and in range) with that
target, even if it is not your own group. When it is off your group
buff spells will act normally. This will only work with group buffs
that have a duration, and will not affect heals, portals or change form
spells.
- Added code that will put one item onto your cursor if it won't fit
into your inventory due to a cancelled trade or looting items (and
other cases). This will only work if there is not already an item on
the cursor.
- Added code that prevents player characters from dropping coins on the
ground. This should prevent the loss of coins due to accident or scam.
- Made a modification to the chase camera mouselook code. Moving the
mouse forward or back in this camera view will make the camera move up
and down, and the camera also automatically pitches to keep your
character in view.
- You now see the number of hit points you are healed, and you also now
see how many hit points you heal when healing others.
** Skill Changes **
- Bard Piercing cap was raised to 250 at 60th level.
- Foraging and Fishing will now result in a wider variety of items,
especially in zones that have unusual items available to forage or fish
(such as quest items). Quest and unique items were too common in zones
that had them, often making it hard to use those skills to obtain items
such as food and drink. These quest and rare items will now actually be
rarely foraged or fished, as they should have been. Such items will
still be available, even to those with low foraging skills, but they
will be more easily found by those who have practiced the skills.
