Items on the ground..

[SirAlvarex]

I've done this about 200 times and have never lost any items. Just drop the bags about 5-10 seconds before logging out, and they'll be there.

Just don't do it in a zone without other players...Old Wives Tales tell about how items don't stick around on the ground when no players are in the zone!

This is an old wives tale [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

on other emu servers the zones can shut down or reset
but on P99 all the zones are static, ive never lost a drop in an empty zone
in fact i prefer empty zones now in case someone finds me lol

edit: just to be clear, im usually transfering to a mule or n00b so...
all my drops are in cities or adjacent zones. and those seem static

Drop a little earlier in the camp process or the server may not update the drop before you finish camping. I had this happen with a Yak long ago when that was an uber item and I was so afraid of someone picking it up that I waiting until 5 seconds left before dropping. Empty zone. Came right back on new character. Still empty zone and bag not there. My client showed the bag dropping at 5 seconds, but the server apparently didn't register it before camp was finished. So bag poofed. I petitioned and was basically told 'tough luck'.

Since then I've done this many times without a problem. Just drop the bags earlier, no later than 15 seconds left in camp for the last bag (if dropping multiples). Also, I always do a /who at about 10 seconds and screenshot at 5 seconds, so if anything is gone I can at least have a record of who else was in the zone.

I'm not sure I'd rely on droptransfering for anything at all lately. Login server seems to go down for 1-5 hours at a time at least every few days the last few weeks, and then as soon as you log out, you crash and you can't get back in and your items poof.
