Outside of a glitch (never happens), they shouldn't reimburse anything. Why waste GM time with this shit when it could be used else where? Isn't even classic.

I say fuck your epic and your 5 spiderling silks. Same thing with people who let their corpse decay because their too lazy to go get it. Gms should summon it but put a 1 month delay on it showing up in EC. Make the game some what unforgiving again.

This 100%. I been saying this for years. What sets EQ apart from modern day MMOs was lack of hand holding compared to now.

Dont restore anything except verified bugged hand ins (such as broken script from patch update or something where legit quest stops finctioning). This includes rotted corpses.

I remember people not pushing late night raids due to fear of corpse rot if there was a wipe too late and you had to work the next day.

To piggyback on that, melee even kept corpse recovery gear in the bank to fight towards wiped raids.

Your corpse decayed in 24hr online time if I recall

Yeah, are necros even needed anymore to summon corpses?

Come to think of it, i never see anyone looking for a necro corpse summon like the old days on live.

I've got a dozen fraps of this happening back at home on the PC, losing bags of gear over the years, and a half dozen petitions to replace items that just poof like this.

P99 aint some magical bug free place bro. Plenty of folk I know lose entire bags when looting. I can also fill entire bags with bags when buying bags off a vendor. I keep a few deluxe toolboxes full of deluxe toolboxes in bank of mules etc.

Think the best single loss was a donals bp, manastone, cle epic, theurgist star, hosh stick, fungi and something else. All just vanished while reorganising my inventory. I never keep beads/manastone/aon/etc all in the same bag on any toons now.

1) Rotted corpses, I don't get the IR policy. You have a week to get the corpse, and for hard to get corpses, isnt that what the Summon Corpse spell is for? What is the rationale for letting people petition for summoning a corpse after a week has passed?

2) Shared Bank: yes this would fix many problems and eliminate many petitions and there is precedent for non classic changes for that very reason, to ease the workload of the GMs. This seems like a no brainer.

3) As has been mentioned previously, I thought MQs were "at your own risk". Is this not the case?

4) Most other issues seem like not worthy of GM time, example, players trying to game the system by initiating trades with NPCs to avoid encumbrance delays, oops they finish the trade, too bad so sad IMO
