Limited item rules

[twogirlz]

Just wondering what people would want with lim item sweeps and hoarding, do you think there should be no sweeps and items are allowed in GH, or should it be random floor sweeps with no warning, too bad if you died.... I am wondering for both realms.

I think the realm should auto sweep all gear to a 'Lost and Found' room located in the Junkyard.  And like a normal junkyard you can pay the yard master his appraisal price to buy his junk and make it your treasure.

PS: Should probably post a copy of this in the Ideas forum.

Letting the PvE realm have unlimited lims would eliminate the problem of hoarding completely. Most of the quality lims are low drop rate and would still be fairly rare. There are a few exceptions like Darkbane and sunburst necklace, but overall I think it'd be worth it.

You could still do non-ganghouse floor sweeps on a regular basis with no real need to announce them anymore.

Set sweeps a couple times a month, say 1st and 15th.

The only way I like unlimited lims is by greatly reducing their rate like .5% after first kill.
Or
Modify any lims over normal to drop strictly from chests and up chest drop rate to 100%. As is it many mod 9 chests drop astral and prismatic crap, this could make take the time to get out of loop and go hunt.

As a side note maybe program a decay time on items on ground, all items not just lims, say 72 hrs - poof. This could be collective too, so picking it up and re-dropping it doesn't reset timer. 72hrs on ground ever equals poof. Of course 72 is just pulled from the air. Could also implement a merchant to reset time to 72 hrs for a fee.

I like the idea of having separate rules,

I see no reason in the PvE realm that unlimited lims (?) would make game sense, considering people use it to test out how far their character can get, and the ability to change lims around etc to see what works in what situations,

---

In the PVP realm I think any lims on the ground (GH or not) should be swept on the 1st of the month, to a storage locker.

Any lims not claimed within 7 days of the sweep are flushed. Any non lims not flushed within 7 days can be flushed or put in bank/ts/somewhere

Did you mean to say wouldn't instead of would? That's the only way this reads right to me.

The only reason I offered this idea up is that there is a constant stream of new people starting on the PvE who are looking for lims and generally are unable to obtain any good ones.

i see no reason for pve to be unlimited . is there a problem with it being stable or non stable with more increased items , would be better if it could be the higher end stuff ie 40+ items dont see the need to have 99 golden battleaxe's for instant , but there are items like umm rainbow stone's etc..

i think sweep should be on on once a month with 24 hour notice , coz it sucks to come home and see ya dead and then find out ya gear is flushed... if i wanted that would play pvp


pvp i would love to have the time to play but with doing apprenticeship it comes first ,  but limited sweeps should be done and i like the idea of storage locker , ie sys support chamber could be used
as storage place

I just don't see them taking the time to go through lims one by one for the PvE realm. I see unlimited lims as being the least amount of problems with the least amount of work involved for them to implement it. As much as I'd like them to go through lims one by one or add new code/drastically edit content like Demonic suggested, these things just aren't realistic for this place given the level of extra work they've been willing to dedicate to this subject in the past (essentially none).

i got a better one dude

i reckon majormud should run as an encrypted p2p setup, like bit torrent. no one actually runs a client, and the greatermud code is encrypted much like in bitcoin. people must farm lims using gpu power which can be traded for virtual currencies and traded back for lims. we could call it a 'mudcoin'.

wait, what were we talking about ?

I'd be happy to go through and edit the database for this.  It wouldnt take too terribly long.  I think I'd prefer to make 2 seperate items for each lim though, one that stays the lim and one that sounds less cool, but has the same stats.

Like A Nexus Spear, and a Nex-ass Spear.

I've offered help with content work countless times...don't expect it to go any further than that.  :(

We were talking about limited items. I think the better route would be to input the content data into the flux capacitor. If this can be done at a rate equivalent to 88 mph, we just may travel forward through time to a point where Greatermud is fini...

Sorry, I was dreaming again.  ;D

We could go back to the time before majormud was invented and kill the entire organisation.

And then everyone would realise it is a scam and all of the mudcoins would depreciate into nothingness.
