announce when players enter your room, or items are dropped in the room

To do this, we really want to have a notification queue attached to every player who is logged in to the game. Then, when something happens that affects a player, a notification can be added to their queue. Each client should ensure that a thread occasionally polls its queue, and sends any notifications that are waiting.
These notification queues shouldn't really be persisted across server runs, so they aren't part of the World. They would be reset if the server is restarted. So I guess we really want some kind of Map (Ref Player) NotificationQueue that lives outside of the world.
