#69465, "Equipment Purged"
|
I would like to bring something which I just experienced to the CF community. I am currently playing a character which is in the low 20's and has 26 hours on him/her. Today, I logged in, and my limited equipment was purged. After speaking with a very cordial IMM it became apparent that I was not playing enough.
What I am having a hard time accepting is that my time invested into this game was not enough to keep my hard earned reward. Which is very discouraging.
What I didn't mention above, which the IMM who I spoke to shared with me tonight, was that since November 1st I happened to logged 10 hours. Hours which I was not tracking - since there is no way to do so for mortals. And to be honest, I only look at total character hours. However, I personally consider 26 hours a decent amount of time overall spent.
So the point of this post is not to look for sympathy, but instead hope to promote change. I am asking for this current policy to be changed or readjusted. Or at least take another look at it.
Thank you.

Warranted, still painful. Many moons ago...
You know, it's not nice to hoard equipment.
Your a stone fetish, carved as a tortoise has been purged. Your a stone fetish, carved as a tortoise has been purged. Your a small wooden bear totem has been purged. Your the tortured visage of a fallen angel has been purged. Your a sapphire periapt has been purged. Your the Notes of the Master has been purged. Your the Dark Rod of Conquest has been purged. Your loose fitting robes ever-flowing with pure mana has been purged. Your the robe of the High Magister has been purged. Your a sash of fine green silk has been purged. Your a pair of gloves of quickling skin has been purged. Your a brooch set with blue stones has been purged. You have been outfitted by the Immortals of Thera.

I did get some hard cheese out of the deal, though. So I got that going for me.

I hate you! That should've been:

Is monitoring your floating sum of hours played for the last month. When it's below 30, your eq starts to go poof. It's more complicated than that, but with 30 hours a month you're positively safe.

It's far less than 30/month. I don't lose anything at something like 6/month. YMMV because I have #### gear x forever

I think it was totally fair since due to my work schedule I am only logging in every other weekend for a couple of hours. Just grab a regear piece and go, especially in the low ranks where it doesn't really matter.

Recently I had items purged. Thought I had been active enough to maintain them. Perhaps since I am not a PKer my hours were not enough..

If the anti-hoarding code hits you, more or less by definition, you weren't playing enough to maintain that gear.
However, since it's brought up, I double-checked to make certain nothing crazy was happening. This has never been an exceptionally active character, which is cool. You generally play enough that it's reasonable to keep your fun toys, but your recent months have gotten steadily more and more sparse. Besides your last week (in which you've already played more than the entirety of your month previously), you played almost exactly the amount as the original thread's poster, so Umiron's reply is probably just as applicable.
Honestly, the bar's set pretty low. If you're at the point of trying to figure out whether you're playing enough to avoid gear purge, you're definitely not really using the gear.

OK..I knew my hours had waned a little for a brief time there but hadn't thought they'd waned that much. No biggie. I will carry on as I do.
