IOTM Safety Deposit Box What about an IOTM that allows non safe items to be placed inside, thereby protecting them through a reset?
It should obviously have some limit of capacity, like 3 to 5 items. or if cash, a certain amount of Starbux it can fit, say 1 to 3 million. but there's a new one...
This came up as an idea some years ago and was vetoed because we only want certain things to be reset-safe, and we *need* certain things to not be carried over in a reset (like say mining tools or other quest items). Again, it's a case of an IOTM bypassing intended mechanics.
additionally, it'd be a nightmare mechanically, as it would have to be yet another storage area with the attendant potential for exploits, plus I'd have to rewrite every function that keeps track of where items are to include another storage table. bleh. (:
and one other mechanical consideration is that it's difficult to limit the number of items you can store in an area without introducing the possibility of losing or duplicating items via race conditions. additionally, because starbucks are stored in the item tables as just another item, it would get tricky to make the limits treat starbucks differently than items. example: suppose you wanted to store 10,000 starbucks and 2 mining tools? the logic to make that happen would be tricky and prone to error.
