I left a bunch of stuff on the ground (to reduce my dodging weight) After I returned to them, about half had disappeared. I'm reasonably sure nobody swiped them as it was in a very out of the way place. Can someone explain to me what stuff rots, and in what circumstances?

.

I believe this is old code to prevent people from cloning (A gives stuff to B. B saves. A or B crashes mud) or passing eq. Can't see a logical reason for it, so I'll put it on my Santa's wishlist for next year's stuff to be removed =)

Edit: I'm a little tipsy, so I might be wrong (highly unlikely).. It also means I'm too lazy to put it on the actual Santa wishlist.

Most of the ones in Galadon got removed.

The mobs in Hillcrest like to pick stuff up off the ground, and they wander.
