Travel Messages

Postby Snake_byte » Fri Oct 23, 2009 10:50 pm

I've been getting messages of people picking up objects with my traveling carries. I can't remember if something can be done about it...
Last week it was a woman picking up rice and today it was a man picking up coal.

That's not possible...you must be reading it wrong...you can't pick up things on the road...or maybe...it's them again... O:

But seriously...I'm pretty sure this can easily be tracked down and fixed.

It happens when someone takes things from someplace other than their current location, which shouldn't be possible, but it apparently still is.

I've been seeing a lot more of these messages than I did last time I played. Just didn't seem to happen so often before. Or maybe my chars have been spending more time on the roads this account.

Travel, backspace, pick up? Something along those lines?

When something happens during travel everyone gets to see it unless it is changed not to appear (combat, talk, point etc) because it is pretty much one big location (outside).

Then wouldn't I see every action that happens outside in that case... It has only been two isolated incidences and it's every one of my traveling carries (with exception of sailing) that sees the same messege.

Yeah, travel, backspace, pick things up. If you leave town and realize you forgot to pick up (or drop) something, you're supposed to turn back. Sure it costs you an hour but that's how the game is supposed to work. It's actually pretty fortunate that it broadcasts them all on the road, because then there will always be witnesses and if someone abuses the system to take things from another place than where their character is, they can be detected and banned.
