Is dropping plat (on the ground) classic?

[Xenephex]

I had an idea in this regard. Create some otherwise useless type of item that stacks and can be bought and sold for the exact same amount (as water is). Make it in various denominations - 1 plat, 10 plat, 100 plat, etc, and make it available on merchants that sell water and rations.

We could all then essentially drop transfer plat, just as we could in classic, without having to do anything with the shared bank.

Just a thought.

I too think that shared banks should be re enabled. Yes its not classic but tbh its a lot safer to transfer items this way.

I say re-enable shared banks instead of bothering with this. As it is right now the only way to transfer plat is asking someone else to hold it.

I know it's embarrassing every time I have to ask a relative stranger if he can hold it for me...

thats no reason to change it in my honest opinion. i do like classic EQ because its NOT easy and safe to do everything.. you have to think about what you do..
go to a city to a place where no1 else goes, drop your item and hope no1 sees it, i loved it..
and also you could just have someone else help you trading.. another reason why reputation is important..

and there may be things on p99 that arent classic and will never be classic -- but.. if sony or verant made mistakes like having some change in for some weeks and then remove it because it didnt work as intendet, why should the p99 developers add those?

all in all, shared banks should not be enabled, not mainly because its not classic but because its one of the non-classic things, that just made the game easier... again..

True. I got burned just last night this way. Lost a few hundred P worth of stuff, and the jackass who did it pretty much gloated about it. My bad for not finding the perfect place; his bad for being a douchebag. Shared bank may not be classic, but it saves a lot of trouble if you can't find someone to transfer for you.

There is no excuse for not being able to find a place in ALL OF NORRATH that someone else can't find between the time you log out and log another character in.

I dont think shared banks would hurt the classic feel at all.

LOL I myself have been flatout told No on numerous occasions when offering to help people with transfers.

And the funny thing is I wouldn't keep the money/items. Heck, I correct people all the time on my Enchanter when selling jewelry who try to give me too much. Made some extra pp this way, too, when they tip me for being honest [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yes, I can see that, but there is also no excuse for being a douchebag. Let's say you have found a spot, but someone finds it, and grabs a couple of your bags. You ask the person to please return the items and thay say "What do I get?" You offer a reward, but the douchebag decides to pick over your stuff, take some items and all of the jewels you were going to sell on the other character? Yes, get your laugh out of the way, but it's always easy to pontificate when you aren't on the receiving end. Had I found someone's bags, I would have picked them up. asked them to name a few items in the bags and given them back without a fuss.
It's all too easy to use the excuse "Well you shouldn't have put your bags in such-and-such place" But I say there is no damn excuse for acting like an asshat to screw someone over. Let's get shared banks so assholes do not thrive here.
