I believe I read this somewhere. Not sure whether this was the disarm rule or pp rule. If an item is taken from Toon A by Toon B and hours, days, months later Toon B is killed by Toon A (victim) do their old items drop and thus returned to them?

Certainly not with disarm. Didnt drop when I killed the offender

Ok i was hoping linux miss typed 1 lb limit on PP instead of 10, but no he never. Its true.

Why was this implemented - you guys have in the space of two days completely nerfed this skill to the point of absolute uslessness.
From now on a pickpocketer gets 5 attempts on someone in who knows time frame but ill assume it might be per map lol and we cant take anything over 1lb - 1 lowsy pound so thats just about nothin but daggers kamas pots etc.

I thought the 10lbs was a just and fair weight limit. While on this subject I actually stole a book off minielvis out of one of his boxes which i reported to DEV immediately and returned the book. Heck i even helped find the problem so it could be fixed, it was totally unfair and a bug.

But now you go and make the limit 1lb ??? i cant believe this drastic nerfing of pick pocket skill

Oh well youve proved what ive been saying 1 cry baby just got this skill completely nerfed - i hope he is happy.

happy gaming on NS NErf. And yeah im upset - like i said been here on and off 4 years and its been proven again - you dont like something cry loudly about it people !@

Um, I'm in agreement that 42 times is definitely unnecessary, but so was the nerf there.

Pickpocketing for gold is fun I guess, but in Neversummer 4, gold isn't really all that useful past level 16. So that basically defeats the purpose of picking pockets. Theres still things under the 1 Lb. limit like Rings, Amulets, Wands, etc. but still.

Saying this from a neutral standpoint. Don't have a Pickpocket character, felt they were of little purpose even pre-nerf.

I didn't put the 1lb. limit on pickpocketing btw.. its been there for years.

Just giving you some info! And this isn't a nerf, its a bug fix... you could pickpocket books, 50 lb. heavy armor, shields, swords, etc... stuff that shouldn't be stealable, and the target didn't even get a custom check for it! That's what this fix is for.

How has it been there for years ? it was 10lbs on this server for YEARS its why they made books 11lbs - so you werent supposed to be able to steal them. Ask chase me and kromix used to have PP toons and we couldnt even lift heal kits, so it got changed maybe i seem to remember chase looking into it and stuff.

I dont run the joint, and i know my place - im a player on a FREE server, i get that - and yes the old addage is true if u dont like it go somewhere else.

Thing is i lOVE it have done from the 1st time i logged in , but my point still stands crying brings nerf's and no one denies it.

Dont get me wrong linux your work is much appreciated and of outstanding quality - but im 100% certain it was 10lbs i could lift a 6lb cross bow off someone - and it wasnt in a box, and now u cant.

If you were stealing stuff that was more than 1lb., chances are it was because it was in a coffer/large box/bag or some type of container.

I'm looking at the log history for the PP script which only goes back 2 years, and it's been the same for at least that long.

just disable pp all together, it has no real use on an action server ;P
