shadowwulf Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Hope this is the right place, kind of an odd question.So when players drop items via death or because they just dont want it, or items arent picked up, they get deleted after a while. I beleive its 3 minutes with no one on the map.Would it be a bad thing to extend at least some items indefinately?In EO there is a rarity value for items.I plan on going from basic to unique.Basic items could follow the 3 minute rule, but would it be bad to increase the timer as rarity increases?Basic-3 minutesPerfect-3 hoursUnique-3 days(or better yet, forever???)I can think of a couple different ways to keep an item's location saved, but I dont know what kind of stress that would put on the server. I do mena ALOT of unique items though… lets say 100 just to be sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowwulf Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 No that is a very bad idea as Basic items are the majority of drops and a unique item is the only one of its kind.Now can someone with an in-depth knowledge of the engines reply? preferably Robin since I am using EO :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
