Hello!

I recently started playing PlaneShift (again) and am enjoying it very much. I've been wondering the following thing about the roleplaying aspect: Is it fair/ok to pick up random items that I might find in the game? Items that don't belong to me? Or would that be considered thievery? If so, what if my character is a thief or a rogue?

To give you an example: Every now and then I might find animal parts. When I inspect them, the info box might say "Guarded by XYZ" (where XYZ is a character name). Is it ok for me to pick up these animal parts and sell them?

Another example: When I'm in mining areas, I sometimes find a piece of coal lying around. When I inspect the coal, it doesn't say that it's "guarded" by anybody. So I imagine that it would be ok to pick it up? But I'm not sure. So I wanted to check what people think...

Thanks!
