Things changed/nerfed in 1999 not nerfed in Live.

I remember that if you tried to drop xfer items or coin near a vendor they would steal it from you. I feel like that was during kunark.

NPCs picking up items happened from launch through present eqlive. This is slated to be developed here, but as of yet, the functionality does not exist. From my tests, there doesn't seem to be a common theme on which npcs will take items. If one could be found, great. Whenever I'm in a city, I often drop items as I run along and see who picks them up.

For example:

Jracol Brestiage says 'Look what I found! I hear there's a good market for these back in Highpass.. lucky me!'

Hansl Bigroon picks up a discarded item from the ground and says, 'Don't people have enough respect for our grand city to not throw things onto the streets?!'

Barthal picks up a discarded item from the ground and says, 'Don't people have enough respect for our grand city to not throw things onto the streets?!'

After the functionality is added, we would also need to know which npcs are .. trash collectors, and what they say. Group effort for sure.
