So there out of drop files now and are left to die out, my question is are they still saving gear from dropping upon pk/mob death aswell as breaking?

No need for you and mates(or anyone else) to agonise about losing yr pixels .
I think most people wanted them taken out completely not to have those that farm and stockpile thinking they are safer than everyone else.
How good is that for the game? Said it before mir without risk is not really mir, may as well play yr xbox

Iv not once used a bound stone and my items ain't all that bad, I asked the question due to I pk alot and wanted to know, touch wood iv died afew times but never body dropped yet, and when I do big deal, karmas a bitch. At the end of the day it's a game to me which I play purely for fun, so please take your trolling post and poke it where the sun don't shine.

So anyone on the opposite side of the argument is a "Troll"?

I completely agree with Terriblen, BS should have been fully removed since there was how many weeks for people to stock up on them? Mir is not Mir without the risks. There is only two games that get my adrenaline pumping... Mir and Battlefield. Mir because, well you have something to lose at the end of the day and BF because, **** if you ain't played it go play it...

Also, you know what "Trolls" were known as just a few small years ago...? No? OK, I'll tell you... It's "Assholes". Feel free to call me an asshole for having an opposite opinion from yourself, I don't care if you do or not. Just makes you look childish.

i can immagine how sky rocketed the prizes of the last BS ingame would reach..

the few people that managed to keep them in store and have the "lasts" one still there ready to trade and sell will probably make a fortune and spoil even more the ruined economy that is left ingame :D

cheers :D

Samuel, tell me that you have made the stones a non tradable and droppable item please

I have not... We introduced the BoundStones.... We left them in (I say we, I didn't know they were being introduced, nor have I ever liked them)... With that being said why should we punish the people who got them fair and squarely just because they didn't work out... Its not as if they bug exploited to get them, they just no longer drop and will eventually die out.

I agree. I think that items that are no longer dropping ingame should automatically be un tradeable and also like mounts, lost when dropped on the floor. A lt of people stocked up on them knowing they would still be useable after they were taken out, thus giving them a long term financial investment.

As you say people will still e able to use them for them selves.

Just my opinion.

Everyone had the chance to stockpile boundstones before they were removed (everyone who reads forum knew it was coming), so if they want to wait until it's the last one and than sell it, let them. Hopefully they'll die out sooner than later.

I sold the only one I had for 2.5 mill, the day after it was removed. I doubt it will jump up in price so much it will affect the economy of the game. What's the highest kit worth, 100/150 mill? People aren't stupid enough to buy bound stones for half/quarter of their own kits worth when there's a slight chance one of the items in their kit will drop from dying. You're better off saving for replacement items.

Would be the same thing as those people punished for having DurabilityOrbs and gems that are bugged and still are.

The economy is working fine. Everyone had a chance to buy bound stones and gamble with if they would stay in or not. Its the same as trying to predict investments in real life, you win some, you lose some.

Nope, Durability orbs will eventually be introduced back in... BoundStones are now gone.

Sorry but you/team makes no sense at times (dura gems/orbs taken out then introduced back in??) bound stones gone today back tomorrow ?

No offence but you guys should of stuck to coding and had someone more experienced with running a server run it, or come up with a team from the beginning and do so, but you have done well with the time you have and the work you have put in. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i bet this gets locked because of a slight negative criticism........... yes tai let people talk maybe ? this is a forum ? but thanks anyways, especially to those that have contributed to a un public release of the files and not willing to let anyone else help them with the release (waits for the "these are sams file's flames lol"

You sir... Are more than welcome to your opinion :)... But you are the minority (or at least I will pretend to believe so :D)...

So ME and the team make no sense... I can agree with this as the team had conflicting interests... MYSELF, I have never liked gems... I am of the old school where refining rules... Gemming, not only OP's x,y,z items but it also makes refining redundant (which I dislike), personally I would of made gems work less often more than more often to begin with and made orbs rare, but as I have previously stated the original server was not of my influence... The Durability gem/orb removal was of mutual decision and the restriction of gems was of myself and Milo's influence; the durability removal will be lifted as and when the additional "super stat" items have made there way out of the economy (by lack of durability, if you haven't grasped the concept).

So as I imagine all single minded people's next question will be "Why not just remove the 'Super Stated' items...", As always it comes down to, people put the work in for those items, I feel it unfair and unnecessary to punish people for things we feel should change at a later point (there has to be a balance between new and existing players).

"Bound Stones gone today back tomorrow", no, try reading... Bound Stones are gone and will not make a return...

Instead of trying to critique every small change, please do try to see the bigger picture before making such an arrogant post.

Sam :)

You seem very very distressed because things didnt work out teh way you wanted. A team project has been left to one guy to finish and you re criticising him for taking too long to do what you want him to do and release the files. Not only that you trying to make it all more difficult and make extra work by releasing files you were TRUSTED to test? Not even your own work.
Life hey sometimes its just so disappointing.

You still dont get it do you. All the op ++++ stat items are being allowed to wear out so they are no longer in game. So until they are all gone you cant use durability gems/orbs on them. Its about making the whole game better instead of having everything too easy.
Those who played in the early months got a lot of slotted items easy gems that always worked etc. Now it being changed. I suppose you could store all ++++++ items in the hope that when dura gems n orbs are put back no one will notice. There is the chance that other better items will have been introduced. Is that too much of a risk?

You can't leave the remaining ones in game sam -.- When i played they dropped a lot, it's been weeks since this BoundStone removal was mentioned so they are stocked up to high heaven.

Could say "you could of done it", true but not true for new players.

But what i find interesting is how people knew they would be still fully functional after they been removed, they never did this with Dura Gems/Orbs/ so why do it with BoundStones?.
