I drank a bunch of Str potions to get my str high for carrying gold. I think it was about 200, I minimized the window(I play in fullscreen)because some program was requesting a permission to access the internet, then the game crashed. I logged in again and started running in the plaza and suddenly my stuuf started to drop on the street, I look at my Strenght and it's 104(4)! :o All my stuff dropped on the street and then some idiot comes, i think his name was Packhorse, and steals all of it! >:(
The log went something like this:
Inventory is full!
Inventory is full!
Inventory is full!
Inventory is full!
Inventory is full!
You can't carry anymore!
Then this Packhorse came and stole my belongings: Sunshine squadron badge, Ulbernaut hide, trepor heart, master crafted rock pick, sharp broad sword, short sword of stone, heavy short sword, all the leather armor except torso armor, horned helm and mercenary helm.

It does dismay me that people willingly will steal a players belongings (in an OOC way) after such an unfortunate incident. Unfortunatly there is really not much that can be done about it now. and if that was the players name then they are obviously new to the game and due for a run-in with a GM at some point.

I just heard he has removed character so the stuff's lost :(
I think ooc players cause more annoyance in the free mmorpg's, not suggesting anything. :thumbdown:

Strength potions don't last forever. You shouldn't have been carrying that much over your max to begin with.

Yes, strength potions doesn't last forever, yes... but having (104)(4) of strength is a bit weird...
I think I got the same problem, but not related with potions. I casted the Strength spell, so I got (100)(112) of strength. After some moment, I noticed I got (100)(88) of strength... notice that before was +12, and after -12.
Studing your problem, you got +100 of strength using potions, and after you got -100 in strength... this cannot be a coincidence! :beta:
Maybe this is a wanted behavior: maybe 1 minute of strength leveled up must be recovered with 1 minute having less strength...

So, basically, seeing as how the negative effects (losing all your items permanently) are worse than the positive (holding a few more items for a few minutes), strength potions are actually a bad thing?

Thank you! I thought I was the only one experiencing strength issues. The other day mine dropped to 150(122). And no spells or potions were involved. Sure, I have experimented with the strength spell in the past, but I rarely use it. I really don't know why my strength dips as I am ingame for awhile. I relog and its fine. Strange.
And as for anyone taking things that are at the feet of others... :thumbdown:
That happened to me recently because of this bug and even though it was a very cheap and somewhat replacable item, it really bothered me.

From time to time my character suffers a similar bug (I hope it's a bug) with stamina. Lately it seems I find myself standing in one (hidden from view) spot, guildchatting. When I go to move, maybe 20 minutes or so of standing in one spot, I can't move because my stamina suddenly dropped off to zero. Why would it be zero, I haven't moved in 20 minutes?
Not sure, but it may be related to the strength "bug." At least with the stamina bug, you don't lose your items... ;D

I think those are two different bugs, strength and stamina, both of which you can find in the bug tracker. The strength (and other boostable stats) one talked about here probably works as follows: You boots your strength (with potion or spell). This sets a timer, so that after some time the amount you increased, is subtracted again. If you log off (or crash) before that time and log in again, the system for some reason takes your normal stats, but then remembers it has not subtracted the boost, and so it does. So if you went from 100 to 112, you will end up with 88, if you went from 104 to 204, you will drop to 4 and drop everything you cannot carry.
Relogging in will restore the base stats again.
The bug may have something to do with that the system will only store the current stats to the database some minutes after you log off.

That happens to me too! And I thought I was the only one...
It mostly happens when coming out of the death realm for me...

Too bad you can't have a fun rule similiar to "For 60 seconds after pickup an item off the ground, autoaccept duels is turned on". Unfortunately that would interfere with a lot of quests and normal play etc. It would still be nice to see someone like this packhorse character pulling a stunt like that and then getting slaughtered for it. Methinks using something that makes people drop their stuff would be quite fitting to use on characters like that.
