Each thread needs to respond to a toggled flag and securely shut itself down. Maybe an atomic<bool>?

The main thread needs a detection mechanism (possibly join()) in order to know when each thread has finished.

The main thread needs to log out each player and NPC and save their data.
The thread on which the rooms are managed needs to save each room to disk and unload it from memory.
