Items to be removed! please read!!!!

[SteelForgedSword]

Listen, I'm moving soon and will be off the boards/server.

I'm moving to Vegas, sometime next month in September.

I think I have a few of the items, I'll send a PM to a DM about it.

If RL screws me and I notify as they have requested, I still expect to be refunded my gold; otherwise it's not fair.

I'm might be able to do it in the next two weeks, maybe not, I know I'm going, but not exactly when yet...still waiting on the phone call.

Do immunity items include Damage Reduction to Slashing, Piercing etc? I'm just asking, I'm not a expert.

I know it's just a suggest, but the vault wipe is a bad idea, even if gold and xp are refunded. As Sel said, my character is the way he is and his build reflects that. I was here before Beta 9 and after it, it doesn't matter if some bonehead grind to 30 in two weeks; those people don't last around here anyway, get bored and go back to WoW or don't rp anyway or are ignored.

I'd rather have the DM's and Staff focusing on events and improving the server instead of spending all their free time refunding xp.

Life isn't fair, some people need to learn to deal with it.

The only items effected are the ones that have "Immunity: <something here>"

[SteelForgedSword]

Ok, thanks for the answer C2K.

I didn't mean for the first part of that to sound mean, moving sucks, but it's part of the job and stressful. Pack this, move that, call this, do that..all the while living outta a hotel for 2 weeks till I can get settled...*sighs*...but the good part is no state income tax in NV and I get more per diem..so my pay should go up like 400-600 a week! Ohio kills me on state income tax and I get taxed 32 buck a week for the honor of working in downtown Cleveland...bah.

I'll be working 50miles from Death Valley... ...we're building a prison.

Ahh ok I got it. Sorry if my post sounded a bit panicky and/or demanding. Didn't mean it to come out that way.

Yes I misunderstood part of the rule. I'm taking care of that personally. My event has nothing to do with this thread because I didn't give out any immunity items. I should have sent a PM to everyone in my event before starting to come to some of you, and that was my fault. I've since corrected that. Please be patient if you were in my event and I'll talk to you about it personally.

And SirC, the old Belt of Agility +2 has Freedom on it, in case that one wasn't listed. I may have just missed it. I know I have one.

when it comes down to it the developers etc have the final say in the matter..remove the immunity items hell it doesn't even matter if it would be vault wiped the end result is we still have a great server to play in with the same people you have enjoyed up to this point.

[mute83]

can we please get all the items that are removed, posted in the first post, it will make it alot easyer for people to see, what will be removed.

and people talking about a server whipe, i dont like the idea, and my max char is level 21. but as said, some have spend alot of time getting where they are... and it isnt getting to level 20 that is the big problem i think, its beyound that

[SteelForgedSword]

Good idea, that way no one can go...

"I didn't know..."

[Xanfyrst]

Well, at least remove the Persistent spell and stormlord enchantment from those who still has it, so that we're all on an even playing field.

A far better way to handle this would have been to make the items undroppable, so you're not robbing players of items they've bought or earned. This is an unusual break from your normal policy, and it's going to feel like a slap in the face to a lot of folks.

Did someone just say A SLAP IN THE FACE? :O

(I'm sorry, I admit, I used to play WoW. That entire phrase is a joke to me because of how often it has been said on their forums)

-----

I don't really mind, the logic behind removing immunity items is to allow DM's (And others) to create more powerful monsters than can gib the guys who don't *Ahem* Create more powerful monsters other than just increasing the armour and AB. More options become available instead of a select group being immune to certain elements the game can throw at them.

Edit: The problem isn't that the items can be dropped or traded; the problem is that the immunity items shouldn't exist.

IM HAPPY TO SEE THIS FINALLY BEING ADDRESSED.

I would also like to see the persistent spell and stormlord grandfather addressed but this is an excellent step in the right direction.

kudos!

[Hydrocarbonated]

If this issue were being addressed along with all the other problems, I'd feel a lot better about it. This does nothing to my characters personally, so it's not that - I just don't like the way they chose to make an issue of this, now, and leave so many other things broken and unbalanced.

[adzling]

one can only take things a step at a time.

to say "you are not fixing everything at once so should do nothing" is, imho, a broken argument.

one thing at time, every step takes us in the right direction...

[caveman_282]

I've been asked a few times by some of the staff what I thought about the how to fix the problem old items.

I have gave my opinion and will psot it here.

[*]Many see that these items that are no longer on the server are a perk for participating in beta. It helps make their char one of a kind of sorts.

[*]I would have no problem with a full item wipe as long as we were properly reimbused. Considering I have lots of time wrapped up in farming gold to be able to afford the items my chars wear.

It looks like the staff chose to go the middle of the road to try and keep the crys down to a min and remove just selected items.

Is there a lesser version of Belt of Guiding Light, and if so what is it?
