You're absolutely right, 3 months is a realistic amount of time and it's the same amount of time in some other games. What I don't find right about this is that someone could spend 2+ years with us and then they take an extended break (by choice or not) and in 1/8 of the time they played with us they just lost all their stuff. Does that sound right to you?

Did anyone ever watch the movie The Last Castle? One of the main characters; the general, tells a soldier he committed one crime which lasted 5 minutes in all the years he was a solder, so by his count that makes the solder .0001% criminal and 99.999% a loyal obedient soldier who now has to suffer x years in jail. Well here in our little fantasy world players aren't committing a crime or breaking rules by taking a break. They didn't sign a contract when they joined INX saying they'd never take a break.

I don't think people deserve to have all their items wiped because they don't log in in a 3 month period or because they missed the log in! And with the way this system is being suggested, there's no leeway where a staff can intervene and say yea you're right, you only missed it by 2 days... here's your stuff back. Try not to miss it next time. I'll say it once again... you haven't played INX in x months, all of a sudden you get an email saying 'houses will start decaying if you don't log in every 3 months'. That email takes you not even 5 minutes to read but 3 months later if you forget you're screwed...

You're right, it is only a few people making a big deal out of this, but as I said to Shade, if you look through all the replies you'll see it's a 50-50 agreement and disagreement by the players. Not the greatest idea ever to me...




You're forgetting that item decay is 30 minutes or so, and once the houses decay you have to find those houses and take everything you want within 30 minutes or you can kiss it all bye bye. Not a very good scavenger hunt to me.

And of course you think it's the best idea ever... you suggested it lol I've never seen someone disagree with themselves!



[SIZE="4"]QUESTION:[/SIZE] Will this house decay also apply to statics or only classic and custom houses? And if this also applies to statics (I sure as hell hope so) where they can be repurchased, how do we have the chance to take the items from them?

I would like to start off by saying, the decay system will have some sort of telling sign or atleast it should. Meaning the sign to the house will say like "this house is about to crumble" or something when you click it. So I will mark a rune there and keep checking it if it is about to decay and I along with many others will mark runes to these places and hopefully have fun battle while trying to loot them. Also, 80 I think you quote movies and keep repeating yourself because you are trying to make INX forum history by posting about everything and anything. Also I would like to say that if I was inactive and got the email and I cared about INX and my items I would make it a point to log in once every 3 months lol (like thats hard to do). If I came back after 3-6 months with an extension and I was late and my items were gone, then thats my fault and I would expect to loose my items.
