Donations.

[Lateralus]

I think there would be a lot more donations made to the new player donations boxes, if it were easier to donate. On another shard, they had a system that you would type "[donate" and it would bring up a targeter, and you would target an item you wished to donate. When you did this, it would automatically send it to an appropriate container in the "noob dungeon" depending on the item. I think this would be a nice addition if it were to happen here.

This idea I like very much, it will also mean people who are not young will have no meaning for going into the donation room.

which means it will make staffing easier because right now we don't really know if anyone has done the dirty and maybe taken something when they shouldn't.

rock on

i come across lots of things on my adventures (pretty nice stuff actully), but usually i toss em cuz i try to find use for it myself only, im not really thinking about others, an top that it takes item an weight usage in my pack, another reason why i dont collect for the newb room...

[Aksala]

Like undertaker, I too toss a lot of decent stuff. I honestly forget about the room when I am hunting, as my pack fills. This would be a great addition Hope to see it soon

I personally would see no problem with this as long as what people "[donate" is worth putting in there. I mean, the is no need in placing something that drops off say.. a rat or some other "entry" level mob.. all that would be doing is uping the item count for the shard to have to save.. now, if it is something that is WORTH giving to a new player.. say something that drops off a dragon, or other slightly harder Mob that a newbie may not be able to kill right off.. then great.. just please, if this comes to pass.. do not use it as a "Man, my bag is so full of JUNK, i think i'll just donate it all to empty it out"

[Lateralus]

I don't see why a person would use the donations box for something like that, when they could gain tokens by using the safe trash 4 tokens backpack.

I do like this idea. I used to collect stuff for the boxes and would take the time to sort it out run to the newbie boxes put them in the correct boxes etc. Then after a while I gave up I would collect go there then an hour later the box would be empty. Now i just [claim it unless im looking for something specific. With this system I would start looking at corpses more and gathering for the newer players again.

I don't mind this idea, if it isn't to hard to code and doesn't add any new bugs then great. Every time I go into the donation room I wind up spending time in there just sorting things out and moving things to the right box(like a couple of other people also do).

ok how about a lil more scripting on this then- How about an auto reset like every 2 weeks, where it just cleans out the donation room... a bit harsh if u ask me... so my counter idea against my own idea (lol) would be like a time limit for every item sent to the donation room, for instance, if i sent junk stuff that came off a rat, it would time that junk for 2 weeks, then auto delete, insted of having the staff go in there every week or few days to check it out, delete some stuff, cuz i doubt the newbs arent gonna clean it out ...

and for the record, i would never send junk Just so were all clear on that part haha any counter thoughts on my end?

DUDE Lateralus! Your eyes are so very wicked! Freaks me out every time I see your pic sig!

Awesome idea BTW! I'm with ya on the elimination of stuff that shouldn't be donated anyway. Not sure who did this but I went in to put some luck armor I crafted into the armor chest and there was no place to put it because it was loaded up with armor that is worse than what newbies start with! A chain coif with Phy 3% Cold 2% Fire 5% Poison 3% and no other modifications has no place in the donation room.

Maybe there can be coded a "check" where the item to [donate needs at least one or two modifications?

[Lateralus]

That might not be a bad idea. I don't know if it'd be possible though. Maybe something without any mods on it can't be submitted?

[Undertaker]

that sounds like something impossible to do, send something to the donation room that has to have atleast 1 mod on it... eh... thats a scripters question... but the auto deletion aint a bad idea, atleast i dont think so haha
