| Well that's fine to discover special properties of an item, but the
statistics viewable by removing and wearing and item with the stats
command, plus the player databases, it's just pointless. Why not
make that small step foward to include stats in the item desc like
virtually every other mud and game i've played. It's such a popular
idea because players love to upgrade equipment and need to compare
items frequently. Especially newer players like myself that don't
know "EQ" very well, or who
don't get to play in EQ parties for whatever reason (small worth or
solo friendly guild needed for play style) |

end game syndrome more likely.. very few ppl in this game 'eq' or
even party outside their specific circles.
it's what happens when you inbreed in any one game too long ;)
upgrading equipment though sounds like a neat idea |

| first off, we do not control player sites. at all. if someone
decides to make a site that lists eq stats, that's nice for you, but
it's not something that we are doing for you, it's not under the
control of the coders or the mud in general.
second, we do not ned to be like every other mud.
third, you don't need to compare equipment that often, even as a small player.
fourth, you can't see all stats through the wearing and removing of
equipment. if you can wear it to see stats, then bully for you.
however, sometimes you do need an id. in those situations, you need
someone who can see the full details through magic.
and honestly, i can think of at least one or two items that if you
just wore them without getting the id first, you would probably
regret it, so the fact that you can wear an item to see the stats
does not mean that it's the best way to go.
since there is a player site with the stats and stuff, i don't see
why you are demanding that we add it to the item description. it
will not be done, because we have spells that are made for it, and
we LIKE that it is at least a little difficult to find the special
information and the couple of stats that don't show up just fromw
earing it.
we could make it all easy, or we could let you work for it a bit.
guess which we choose. |

| Not to mention that there is an NPC in the game that will ID items for you
at a relatively small fee. Can you (in real life) just look at two
knives side by side
and see that the one on the left will cut 2x easier than the one on
the right? Not usually
they look pretty much like metal blades and until they are tried out
remain to seem the same.
WBM to open, I've said my peace. |
