    My question is: why does one player opening a container affect other players in the scene? I noticed this mostly due to the mouse-look bug on Linux. When anyone else in the scene loots a mob then my camera spins around (this has effectively prevented me from playing multiplayer). It seems crazy to me that one person's private actions should affect others in the scene.

    Because all those items are now in the scene while the container is open.

    That's interesting. So it's not just loading a list of the object names with an ID that points back to the object in the server database, it's actually loading all the data for each and every object and creating the objects in the local client for everyone?

    So when a player opens any container, all items and item data is fetched and presented to anyone in the instance? I would not think that is by design but a Unity limitation? I'm very curious about this...

    I like the progression this game is making! Cant believe going live is getting closer and closer. With that said, the Shogun stuff added into the game, needs the ability to be a Monk or even Ninjutsu. Would be a nice addition to a future patch. :)

    Actually, its about fairness. People will store in their homes to avoid the weight restrictions of the bank, giving people with homes a huge advantage over people without them. The item limits are sort of meaningless.

    Oh yes I guess unless the plan is to remove weight limits for the bank, too :/ Though, personally I think its good (and you guys made me buy some more bank slots because I ran against my weight limit... the item limit I'd probably never need to expand because its pointless if I'm only collecting stackables).

    :/ Yea.. I think its a bad idea in the long run (for banks and containers). Besides, I'm holding plenty in my bank for vending purposes even with the weight limits. I was only running against the weight limit because I was hoarding; something the devs won't want when the game is launched.

    For the short run, I don't care, though. :D

    I am looking forward to many nice changes but I'd love to get the second and third character slot soon.

    We've seen small "lockboxes" in dungeons and such... can we make those items craftable? Would be nice to nave a small box of goodies that would fit on a wall shelf.

    With the schedule suggesting that Elysium mines will be un-cloned and with the recent pictures of Serpent Spine Mine circulating, will the serpent spine replace the planned Elysium changes?
    i.e. Elysium will be pushed to another release and serpent spine will be done instead?

    Check the Marketplace here on the forums for ongoing pricing of lots being sold by players.

    Once when we first started the lottery Port gave out some stats, that was the only time they ever let out "odds" of winning.
