Ancient items?

AS i saw somewhere, what items from inactive accounts going back to loot pool. Now for example if there are some inactive accounts with ancient items, does the ancient items going back to loot pool in their ancient status? What mean we have a theoretical chance to loot ancient items???
Sry my english, but ithink everybody can understand my question

dont think so about looting ancient item, reason being PE waited for alot of ppl to fix there stuff so less of these items would be around. They not going to add new ones.

alot of ppl like me have an ancient mm that was fixed since then, so its not ancient anymore.. to drop an new ancient weapon would tick alot of ppl off

true - more than likely MA just removes ancient status and stuffs em back in loot as normal.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t true. I vaguely remember Marco saying once that items on perminantly locked avatars are gone forever. Not 100% sure of that but pretty sure.

Maybe i remember it wrong, few months ago i saw somewhere( EP or EF forum) thread about items in inactive accounts and somehow i remember what items from inactive accounts going back to loot pool.

Yeah, Dino is right. Im pretty sure too that I saw this question somewhere before. Seems logic though to not take lost items back.

I think he said the opposite.

“Items on perm-banned avatars does not count against the number of total items in the world.”

But it is said regarding a different matter of , and banned is maybe different from inactive so i dont know.

what is the relogging thing marco is talking about? sorry to be off topic but what is he talking about?

I heard if loot is reallybad try relogging, is this what he is talking about? and that is an exploit?

I also heard if you global you might want to relog? is this also what he is talking about as being an exploit?

I made a support case about this a whiles back, I’ll dig up the link in bit.

But all items and skills are TT’ed after a year’s inactivity; and the cash stays on the card. - Official fact.

“For those of you that dont know what the relog bug was i can inform you that it was a way to get “free” loots. This has now been Fixed by MA and the Large scale users of this bug have been banned. Reason for banning i think is obvious.”

Also that was 2003

ok ty for the update lol had my concerns for an sec

I think that was the one that had to do with getting your ammo back so it cost you nothing to hunt but you got to keep your loot. Unless that was a different one.

I had that one happen to me, it was great. Sometimes I would lag out really bad and not think anything of it and continue to play. After a while I must have caught back up with the servers and mobs would start to move for 2 to 3 seconds then repeat themselves, at this point I would log out and then back in and voila, all the ammo back from point the trouble started + I had all the loot that I got during the time of error. You could make a couple of hundred ped when this happened.

Yep, I saw something similar about a year ago. I was in a laggy area, and killed a lone Exarosaur which I looted. Then lagged out suddenly, appeared maybe 100m back from where I killed the animal, and the animal was back in the same place… went and killed it again, and got loot again.

What that told me was that loots are not connected to animals as they’re moving around, but only generated at the time of looting. (I thought maybe at the time of death, but since it takes a while for us to get to an animal, and we still get a bunch of loot lag sometimes, I figured it had to be at the time of looting only). What probably happens is when you kill an animal, a msg is sent to the loot server with the following information: Animal killed, Location, Time, Skill levels, player name (ever seen a bunch of hofs in a row, with the first letter of the first name of the hoffers all the same???), and possibly what weapons, armour, fap and how many hits either way.

I think its would be fun, if ancient items from inactive accounts staying ingame, cose this dont happen very often and nobody loose anything.
MA can do this this way like Unice ram quest was.
Like, Player John Doe was killed by unknown creatures and all his items destroyed, exept his Ancient mod merc, what is lost.
Ancient items not very much and imo this can happen maybe only few times in year maybe but all of us like to have possibility like that.
