Suggestions & Ideas / Restring of Statted Equip
« on: August 01, 2010, 08:12:38 pm »
Ok, so I've been thinking about this for a few days, then asked Kvetch about it, and decided to make a post about it.
The topic: A middle ground between perz and restring.
The question: Why can't statted equipment get a restring, other than that is current policy? Rp equipment is all the same vnum, yet people can have different restrings all on the same rp head item, so why not on our statted equip?
The explanation: Being able to get a different name on your statted equipment for a larger fee than just getting a restrung rp equip. (here's another possible use for gold... this is something I would definitely spend gold on, even if it were harder to get)
The reason: We've all been a part of the discussion that talks about seeing the weirdest combination of equipment on a single person, just because things from different quests and zones don't have to necessarily work together aesthetically. This leads to some funky lookin outfits!
Buy why shouldn't there be an option to have your statted equipment restrung? This could lead to people having their own unique coordinated look, without having to sacrifice all their statted equipment. I would like to go out looking like what I think Asmo should look like (clothing wise), but still have all my stats and earned equipment on me.
The difference: While a perz is essentially the same thing, if you ever lose your perzed equipment, you can buy it back for a fee. This would not be the case with this restrung statted equipment. Because its not perzed, it would be lost and you would have to go through the quest/find the equip again to recover it. Of course, you could get a perzed item restrung, and if you lost that, you could buy back the perz with the title of what it was perzed at. Also, I think this would be a great option for artis. You could rename your artis this way to fit your character's theme, and not be able to buy them back when they finally poof, making everybody happy!
The response: you tell me!
