Word spreads like wildfire –
The zulkirs, in an 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 thousands of dead adventurers in their land since the beginning of the Salamander War, 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 are encouraged to either 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 and has started causing a little bit of lag whenever a persistent storage container is opened.
Since the NWN databases cannot be shrunk (only deleted and/or rebuilt), this storage database will be deleted on March 31 at 9:00 PM CST (GMT -6) to remove stored items for dead and/or inactive characters.
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. But after the database has been purged, items can be placed back into storage and we won’t need to go through this process for at least another year or more (real-time).
Also, please note that this *will* have the unfortunate side-effect of removing persistently stored items from individual’s houses as well. Played-owned merchant inventory and gold stored in the Vault system will not be affected however.
I will also post a notice similiar to this one in-game as well.
If you have any questions or concerns on this, please post here.
