player recreation

Unread post by Zinnestro »

Is it possible to have in the player recreation a button that holds all the item as you have? So when u create a new player you don't have to ask a fellow friend to help mule? Just a thought.

Thanks in advance

One of the developers could give you a better answer.

DM's don't deal with coding etc, we do roleplay events and push such request on the developers :P

I believe it is technically possible to script chest in the Nexus that only open to the same player who put something in them.

However, knowing how absolutely buggy NWN2 are, you still risk losing your items if you're very unlucky or the server crashes/resets. If you ask another player to do it, you don't risk either (as long as the other player remembers to save his/her character after the trade).


Personally, I think the current system where you ask a player to hold items for you, works just fine. Not heard of a single incident where someone tried to cheat the other, and if you're worried about such I suggest you take a screenshot of the trade - remember to expand the combatlog, as it shows all the items you 'lost' in the transaction. if any of them are of particular value, screenshot their description/examine.

Its also the case that while muling is permitted we don't want to encourage it. It is sometimes used to transfer items onto characters who really have no roleplay reason(s) to possess such items, purely because it would be useful for leveling or other things. Being a roleplay server that sort of thing isnt' encouraged.

But on the other hand muling can be useful if you are starting a character who would have access to certain items you can transfer onto him. Or cash. It doesn't have to be at odds with roleplay.

Essentially its about self-control. The game is a lot more fun if you actually roleplay instead of semi-cheating. Because without self-control you'd just ruin your own fun aquiring new items and adventuring with other low level characters.

Understood. I will keep that in mind.
