Item drop crash bug

Author Content Date
Its always been around but if a player in is pvp and dies and soma crashes they end up dropping an item.

Many arguments and players even leaving has happened becuase of this.

Is there a way that players only drop items if they Actually press warp when died. i.e Warp to town is not the default thing that happens.

It just seems a shame people losing items it too them months of grinding to get because of the game crashing.

This has happened on many guilds and hsoma dsoma. If this could be fixed i think it would be a nice touch.

There must be something that can be done about this though?

Easiest way I could see for this, is when you log back in, the game would have saved the last state server-side, therefore giving you the 'Warp to Town' or 'Revive' option upon login. However, quite abusable, if you've died on 10% penalty and know you were going to have the chance to drop items, you'd just crash/close the game and wait for no-one to be around on that spot, or have just a friend there for collection.

Well that is where you still have the timer kick in and auto revive you after a while. The default could be switched from warp to revive also. Maybe the timer could be increased slightly to give better chance of logging back in and still being presented the option. I don't know when will get this done though but changing the default to revive can be done quick its just by the time you log back in might have auto revived a few times already if being griefed.

Can you not add a feature where you auto-warp to town if on 10% penalty when the game crashes and you die, but if you have a res scroll in your inventory, you automatically revive? That way, if the game crashes and it takes you a few moments to come back in, you have the benefit of resi scrolls?

use resi until they run out. revive upto 7.5% pen then warp.

keep timer the same as before. its already 30 seconds real time.

so even if they have run out of resi it will give 1 min 30 to get back ingame

The default could be switched from warp to revive also.


Sounds like a quick and viable solution. No-one these days would click 'warp to town' on purpose, the only way this option gets triggered is with crashing, disconnecting, or 10% penalty forced warp.
