If it isn't a problem, if possible can everyone separate (in their profiles) "official" DarkStorm items from GM-created items which are not flagged as official? Doesn't have to be overly obvious, but just like a line or something. This will help everyone keep track of things when everything start moving again, as well as decrease some of the confusion experienced earlier relating to equipment out of balance for official quests and/or battles. Also helps organize things according to the base and extended (GM; "unofficial") rule sets - this could be significant in certain future plot-driven quests, while allowing other items to be used where applicable.

Thanks.

Ummmm, what is the definition of 'official' in this case? Would something that one of YOUR Npcs gave me be official? What about the personalized weapon we get to start out with?

"Official" mainly pertains to the following:

- Any GM-created items that have been flagged as official.

- Any items from plot quests (as of now they are just the ones I create). This is because the quests I create will often have parallels with the actual MMO we're planning on making known as Age of Arcana.

- Any items from merchants I create, and any items from certified GM merchants.

- The custom starter weapon that every character should have.

- Any merchant items that happen to be given in GM quests.

- All trader-constructed items.

******************************************

More than anything, this is just to separate items for extended rules and systems from the core game. Also this is to prevent a superpowerful weapon (which should first be verified with me anyway, hehe) from allowing someone to breeze through a plot quest which involves combat.

But rarely will I say "official items only". It's just to organize things a little bit in the case that the distinction is necessary sometime.
