74258, Items purge
Posted by Purged on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Hello all.

I'm able to play one day per week, and it's getting annoying to get all eq purged. I understand that it's anti-hoarding code, but if someone plays regularly, once a week, but 5-6 hours per session, it's not necessary?

Really frustrates and kills desire to play/come back. Worst anti-retention feature I ever seen.

Thanks.

If you log on only very sparingly, you may forfeit some of Carrion Fields'
most limited and coveted gear. This is done to make sure that these objects
appear in the game with some regularity, thus allowing all players to have
a fair chance at acquiring them. The rarity of the item will matter - a
unique artifact will be lost more easily than a more common limited object.

All of the rules regarding login frequency are kept very 'loose' - we
understand that players vary considerably in their ability and desire to
play often, and we have set them this way to be inclusive of both casual
and serious players. If you do lose an item to this mechanism, no
reimbursements can or will be given, as it means you have not been
playing your character enough to justify keeping those items out of
circulation.

If you want to not worry about purge, avoid rare equipment and you'll have a better time, and potentially won't ever see it pop up as an issue. Everyone has times when they can't play as much, and that puts us all (equally) up there for the purging risk.

This is alright, but 5-6 hours per week is enough to keep the items safe, no? Some players plays 1 hour per day, logging once per day, and nothing gets purged. But one long session, similar by time, makes items purged? It's like pointing on the door.

if you play 5 hours today for this week, but next week your day is friday with 12 days in between, you're probably going to lose some of the legendary items.

i don't think it is an avg of hours per week

you probably shouldn't have lim 1 or 2 gear if you're only on like 3 to 4 sessions a month. sounds like it is doing what it should do

My window between logins is 6or 7 days between, depends on the situation, not 12. Last two logins spent reequiping and that happened again, and that frustrated me. Lost everything, not legendary items - every single limited item.

Not going to whine or cry, but seems even if I would want to stay in CF, it's technicaly impossible now, so time to say bye-bye, since nobody care or admit that there is a problem.
