I see it as a way for characters to explore various areas to get new items instead of running to the same old place to grab the usual. There ARE actually a lot of items in CF.

>I have mixed feelings about the limiting of items etc. I'm all for not having 500 chars running around with charred bracers, and I do think it promotes area exploration. However, cuppled with the changes to skill improvement, it makes the game heavily weighted upon gear rather than skill. I see this leading to more ganging and full looting (not that I have any problem with full looting). Just wundering what the Immortal staff thought.

Full looting, ganging has always been part of CF. I don't think item limitation encourages these acts.

Sometimes as a player I tend to see things limitedly, however, being an Imm once made me think otherwise. The Imm DOES NOT come up with major changes overnight, trust me. There is much discussion and debates, plus monitoring players feedback.

Let's wait and see how these limiting items stuff go.
