Word spreads like wildfire –
The zulkirs, in an ongoing effort to fund their new experiments and projects have ordered the seizure of all treasure in vaults, inn chests, temples, and anywhere else in Thay. The hundreds of dead adventurers in their land over the course of the last several years, and the unexpected increase of a number of magical items to the realm have proven too tempting to pass up. Those who wish to retain their property either need to convert it to coin or carry it on their person.
-------------------------------------
OOC - To explain in real-life terms; the database containing all the persistently stored contents of Thay has grown rather large again and could be causing some potential lag whenever a persistent storage container is opened. Since the NWN databases cannot be shrunk (only deleted and/or rebuilt), I am currently planning to delete the storage database on November 5 to primarily remove stored items for dead and/or inactive characters. However, this deletion will unfortuantely affect *all* players and PCs that have persistently stored items.
As the date gets closer I will post an estimated time and again when the database has been rebuilt.
I understand that some of you may have difficulty narrowing down all the stuff you accumulated, however the use of backpacks and boxes will help increase your carrying capacity during that period. Think of this as spring cleaning where you may need to get rid of the things you really don't need or use.
What will be lost?
1. Items within any persistent storage container (Chests, Bookcases, Armoires, etc). This includes items within the Vaultkeeper storage vault chest as well
2. Items stored in Horse saddlebags and Pack Slave Saddlebags
3. Items within storage containers in Player Houses. The furniture within PC houses will remain, it's only the contents of any chest or storage container in the house will be wiped out
What will *not* be lost?
1. Items within your PC's inventory
2. Items within your PC Merchant's inventory
3. Gold stored with the Vaultkeeper or kept on your PC
In the days before the database wipe, you'll either want to load up on backpacks and store potentially lost items in on your PC(s) or (preferrably) sell them. If you own and have room on your PC-owned merchant, you can also give them items as well.
After the storage database has been rebuilt though (which will literally only take a minute), items can be placed back into persistent storage containers and we won’t need to go through this process for at least another year or more (real-time).
If you have any questions or concerns on this, please post here.
