A reminder - Loot Drops

Post by silverdragonams »

I've been seeing a lot of loot bags lying around lately, so I guess its time for a reminder.

Please clean up after yourselves folks!

Here are 3 good reasons to pick up loot, even if its stuff you don't want or need.

1. You never know when a DM in a generous mood might drop interesting items on creatures.

2. Zombie worked very hard making loot items. You don't want to make Zombie sad by leaving his items behind, do you? A sad Zombie is a terrible thing.

3. All those body bags cause lag for everyone. It's true! The server has to keep track of all those items. We do have clean up scripts, but they do get overwhelmed. If you've left enough stuff on the ground to overwhelm the clean up scripts, you've probably left enough to cause lag.


As a final note, our loot system can be changed on the fly by upper team members. If we notice folks tearing through a dungeon leaving behind loot bags, we can turn the whole loot system off temporarily. If we do this, you won't have to worry about monster drops, but you also won't have to worry about good loot showing up in chests either. :wink:
