As for fixing them it's simple, different rank, different permissions.

It's already so that different ranks can get different permissions...

Yea they can have all or nothing, thanks for pointing that out.

Im quite sure it was fairly clear what i meant.

I liked the way EQ2 and I guess other MMOs handle storage and permissions. As I remember it (and this was about 2 years ago so my memory could be playing tricks).

There was a central bank with 4 tiers. Permission to each tier depended on your rank in the guild plus the leader could enter how many items each alt could take from each tier in a 24 hour period.

Also one trusted member was made the banker to keep an eye on who was taking what and to make certain that each tier had the correct items in them.

This made it impossible for a thief to empty the bank in one hit.

Happy to be on Defiant.

Just to keep it simple being able to give each rank 0-3 permissions, salvage, insps and enhances would be perfect.

Iv given up now anyway, it's just another thing that's been asked for years and aint happening.

Quick clarification.... anyone?

I have a base with the huge Teleport room (1.4 million(ish) prestige) but the new huge teleport room price is 400k(ish).

If I want to save 1 million prestige, do I have to sell my current Tpad room *now* while it is still worth 1.4 mil and then buy a replacement when i13 debuts? Or can I wait till after i13 goes live and sell the huge teleport room for the ORIGINAL PURCHASE price before buying the cheap one?

Thanks in advance...

Deadskip, either of those options would get you the same place - a new teleport room and around 1 million extra prestige to spend.

For the purposes of keeping things running, doing it after I13's live is probably best.

Do bear in mind that if you delete the telepads themselves you'll need to recreate them using the new I13 invention salvage system - unless you have enough spare prestige already to create holding room(s) to move them into while you're deleting/recreating the big room. There's no way round this.

Edit: Actually, it might be feasible to delete the telepads and rooms now, then rebuild (but not place) the telepads using the existing base salvage rules. Then make the cheap room and place the pre-built pads in it once I13's live. Anyone know if this is doable?

I'd imagine that it'd be a bit of a squeeze to create the TP holding rooms... maybe at i13 you could get a bigger plot with the space (for a decreased cost too, I think) before being able to do the shift.

of course the other thing you could do to prepare for i13 is build all the replacement teleads and the likes using current base salvage and store them in your personal inventory so you can ignore the new invention system for a while and only need to worry about remodleing the base

There isnt a problem on earth that cant be solved with the proper aplication of hi explosive's

Thanks for that guys

I was planning to go from an 8x8 plot to a 12x16 secure plot immediately i13 goes live so space shouldn't be an problem and as I'd saved the money for a plot at the old prices, affording the temporary teleport rooms shouldn't be an issue either.

My only worry was whether if I sold the old room after i13, I'd get the NEW price back and be 1m out of pocket. But you've set my mind at rest there.

Thanks

Know you're all sorted now that man but just in case anyone was wondering Standoff had it in one when he said:

as myself and winterflare were discussing in the other thread stockpiling half a dozen teleporters or so just in case.

[EDIT] That Scotlands_bru has already confirmed 2 posts up *looks sheepish*.. Move along now, nothing to see

Kneeling girls! Statues driving cars! What's going on? Ten years ago a man was arrested in the area for driving statues around in a car. Was it him?
