Reason for new lockdown patch.

regs after he died, i can verify this because i saw him rez and imediatley
cast GH on himself. The counselor verified that the bug did exist, reported
this occurance to a GM and as i was about to leave she said: Thats the
reason for the new lockdown patch. So there ya have it folks, no decoration
because people used it to make newbiefied bags.

I think blessed bags ought to be a gift item at some point. They could be
limited to only hold a few items and limited weight, but would sure help
when you die to get back to full health at least. Maybe you could keep a
Recall scroll, a rune, some bandages, some regeants in there. And of course
that silver vanquishing viking sword you always carry around. ;-)
Another idea would be bags-of-holding, a-la D&D, that could hold unlimited
weight.
I had heard there was a bug with unlimited secure containers which caused
that change, which, unless it has something to do with lag, I don't really
see as such an urgent problem that they should screw decorating. It could
have waited till they had another implementation for decorating, in other
words. And I don't see any problem with newbified bags, certainly not
enough to screw decorating for, with the same provisions.
Fix it, sure, I don't care either way. But there are so many people with
new, undecorated houses that I just think the fix could wait until a
decorating fix was ready.
IMHO, as always.

Well, for the average player no, but in order vs chaos fights being able to
keep your things after you die is an unfair advantage, that person can just
disarm all armor/weapons into bag when he's low on hp and be completely
restocked, but someone he kills doesnt have that luxury and gets that
person's equipment with no risk to his own.

They arent for keeping runes on death, they have been newbiefied due
to a programming bug, nothing more. It will be fixed.

I've seen about half a dozen vendors selling "newbie" bags containing
(typically) 5 GH potions and 2 GC potions.

And a fruit bowl is not a container.

Perhaps at some point they should just remove death from the game?

It becomes a completely different item, Fruit basket is deleted,
Basket is created in the spot where fruit basket once was.

use that while locked down.

Yeah, that seems to be part of the new code that prevents people from
eating your locked-down rares. I have all the lanterns at the town hall
turned on all the time, because I had to lock them down that way.

Now, now. Magical items are a standard part of fantasy role playing games,
even the CRPG kind. Many of them are nifty tools that make the life of an
adventurer easier. I think such bags would fit the bill nicely. They would
be relatively rare and wouldn't hold that much. I don't understand folks
who hunger to be punished in the game. "Skills go up too fast." "There's
no penalty for death." "Trammel is for wusses." "Might as well remove death
from the game." Whatever.

down items, but a friend or the owner's characters can. *grumbles* I was having
a hard time getting my fruit basket on the table in the dining nook, and when I
finally did, I locked it down. About 5 minutes later, I double-clicked by
mistake and ate it. Left me with a locked down empty bowl :(

Hey, Katherine, Where is the LFE main house now? I went looking but couldn't
find it?

It's in the same place on both facets. Go west of Brit to the crossroads
(you have to go through the mountain road, not southern one to Trinsic).
Turn right (northwest) at the crossroads and keep going until you pass the
guard tower on your left. Then bear off right into the woods. If you
bring up your radar you'll see a clearing on the right/northeast of the
road that's shaped like a big footprint; that's where the LFE houses are.
On Felucca it's a two-story stone-and-plaster house, and on Trammel it's a
tower.
Drop by anytime, there's usually someone hanging around...
