Bye Bye...

...DROPPAGE ON DECAY!

Item loss mechanics are an antiquated form of item attrition. While there are other forms of droppage in the game, the unique droppage on decay that existed in Platinum is no more. I know we have two schools of thought on this subject, but I cannot think of a single experience where someone walked away from a decay and felt empowered to be a Platinum player due to it. Almost all decays in Platinum were getting replacements, eating up staff time and making the mechanic less and less of a feature of the instance.

Death mechanics now mimic Prime entirely. Death sting was already put in place when we removed droppage on death. If you notice some oddities, please post about them.

I'll also offer a one-time replacement of any items lost on decay that happened in 2018. This offer is only valid on the most recent decay if you had multiple decays this year. This offer expires March 31st.

I thought all the hardcore RP’ers loved that kind of bullshit.

Guaranteed there are people pitching a fit on the officials because of this.

Unfortunately we can't read their super secret platinum folders.

Did they really wall off the plat folder? Classic Simu.

Yeah. Once you join plat, a new forum pops up a couple days later.

Reported for assuming that gay means gay instead of its original definition of meaning gay.

So they did this for the nine people who play plat but leave disarm in prime, sweet. Everyone loves antiquated item attrition.

That's about $10000 worth of subscribers though.

I mean, just going on sub cost, 14 people is equal to 49 basic subs.

I do hope the disarm changes happen soon. That said, I doubt it's much effort to change over one instance to be like the other since that system is already in place. Rather unexpected though.

Add "at feet" inventory slot. Has anybody explained why that can't include that in GS like they do in DragonRealms?

That change is tied to billing.

They'd probably cap the number of times you can remove items from the slot to like 2 per day, and then make it a simucoin purchase.

Platinum has always had their own folder. Nothing to see here

Because they want you to lose your weapons; unlike in DR where items are meaningless so it's 100% annoyance on the player and 0 benefit in terms of item attrition.

If you were really this braindead, you should have a right to kill yourself legally.
