Item Moving Timer

(1/4) > >>

Ulrek:
Alright, since i'm waiting for the reset i thought i'd make a suggestion about alting and items. this is mainly food for thought, and i'd like it if anyone posting would think of it as such, and not get to serious about it.

The basic idea, is that when you drop a item, or give it to another person, and you log out with your character, you need to wait anywhere from 1 hour to 6 hours before you can pick it up with a character account logged in with the same IP as the character that dropped it. trying to give a person a item, or pick up a item that is under this time out would give you a message that you must wait X amount of minutes before you can pick it up again.

Flaws is this.

1: People could change their IPs as needed to get around this.
2: it would make it harder for solo people to craft with alts.
3: it would be hard to take back your dropped items, but if anyone ever gets their items back, its often due to a tent raid on a PKers tent, since i've almost never heared of some one getting their gear back from a PKer.
4: it would not stop alting, only limit its usefulness.

Reasons that this might help.

1: would make gangs have to work in teams to move items to make them useable so that one guy makes the drugs, while another guy uses them.
2: would make having alts still workable, but it would require more time to make things and use them, since you'd have to let them sit in your tent for a while.
3: would also limit the time bombers have before they can bomb with bomber alts, unless they change their IPs, which could be logged and recorded as proof, since a character recorded as logging in with two different IPs could mean either the account was stolen, or the person is changing his IP to get around the timers.
4:It would also be a step in the direction of limiting alts and their usefulness, without requiring a account to keep track of each players different characters, something which would be needed but is alot of work, and would be a massive change, even more so than adding the timers to items, unless i am forgetting something. the devs can correct me as needed.

Again, this is mainly meant to be food for thought, but does count as a suggestion. cheers.

I don't see that any useful...

To get some items back from char A to B you just need to trade between them. If you can't, you just trade with friend (A to C) which will trade it back again to char B. Dropping weapons while fight.

1. So loners gone be once again screwd
2. You just leave materials for night in base and tomorrow you have what you wanted to craft. Don't seem to be much problem
3. What if there will be prepared bombers sitting on grind?
4. It would only slow down whole process of crafting, for those who play alone.

as I said I don't see that any useful... or mayby i'm missing something.

The timer will still happen if you trade the item, any item leaving your character would be flagged if you logged out. also i have never played runescape, but this was done on a few neverwinter nights servers for different reasons, and it did work, and it did do what the devs of those servers wanted to happen as well.

On a non-RP server, moving items is not commonly thought of as cheating, but i have seen some cases of it being against the rules to move items, and a limited form of that is what the suggestion is about, also this is about cutting down on alt characters, which the devs unless i misunderstood have been trying to do at least in some ways.

As for the useful and not useful things, the fact that'd make it harder for loners to craft i mentioned already, but i also mentioned it was to try and help give a nudge to team work, also, if you have a alt for mining and a alt for making small guns, and big guns, and armor, that thats 4 alts already, when most crafter alts should be able to mine just fine. so you really shouldn't have to switch just to make some simple things like that. where this would hurt you is moving those supplies to a combat character, but over all unless you need a gatherer and a craft, it shouldn't slow it down much. just moving the goods from character to character.
