Thanks, Ham. That Rasta Hat looks nice.

Getting rid of the template head and shade, this is what it looks like.



It looks more like a hat I would expect to see in v2, but I digress.

I'm all for Hambone having this in v3 if Meiun or the other GMs would allow it. It wouldn't be the first time a prize carried over into another version of SO.

the hat looks pretty nice, Ciro does some amazing work. Wouldn't mind seeing it in v3, eventually as an obtainable item.

Shouldn't Fatso technically get the hat since you won it on him :P
But yeah, I see no issue with it, but I won't be surprised if it's not put in, or possibly it'll be put in for aesthetic purposes only.

Meiun, you mention the ability to trade in v3, I was wondering if you could give a little information on it. Such as are there any limitations on what can be traded and to whom/by whom. Do players need to be close to the same level? A few things like that. I would greatly appreciate the info and I am sure others would appreciate the insight as well.

Trading at first will most likely just be a simple way to drop items for others to pick up. Obviously there are some risks at doing safe trades with this, so I will almost certainly add in a more full featured trading method soon after. Trading wouldn't be restricted by level, but there may end up being some untradeable items. I also have a few potential ideas for some other forms of selling/trading items for those players who really want to player the role of merchant. However, I do not plan on doing any form of your traditional automated market/auction house, as I feel that does too much of the work for you as well as making the whole economy and trading process way to non-personable and stale.

Thanks a lot for clarifying :) Im a little weary on the drop trading method but you state it will probably be temporary until a more stable method is implemented so thats fine. I have to agree on the auction house deal simply because it can take forever sometimes and I don't think it would be worth the time to code it honestly. I feel merchanting will be a far more effective manor as you stated. Thumbs up :)

Allowing players to drop items means there will be server-side drops - are standard drops still just going to be client-side?

Can you imagine every drop being accessible to anyone? AGI = win

Nothing of that nature will be performed on the client side. Even if I were to have the same drop system that the game currently uses, it would still all be done on the server end. The new drop system should allow everyone to see all the same items dropped, but each item will initially be locked so that it can only be picked up by the person it is dropped for (which will be determined in a similar manner to how it is for individual clients getting their drops in V2).

Oh that... that's ultimate cruelty.

Heh, exactly..  Would drops that are for other people have a bit of transparency or anything to distinguish them from your own drops?  If not, that would just be cruel.

Stick Online has just become as much Maplestory-like as possible. :x

edit: what happens when the player that the item has been dedicated to, disconnects? Will the item be obtainable by everyone (first one gets it) or will it just disappear. And will these items automatically disappears after a while when they aren't picked up, because the "owner" is afk? could be pretty ugly if you have 10 drops lying in front of you can't pick them up.. I think you should be able to pick up someone elses items if he/she is stupid enough to go afk after hitting a boss monster..

They will be distinguishable between a drop that isn't for you. Your idea is actually possibly better than the way I was planning on, so thanks!

@CherryPie after a certain amount of time, if the person doesn't pick it up, it would become available to other people.
