Heh I played muds for many years, and this sort of thing always happened.  The admins/imms will not care one bit, since it has nothing to do with a glitch (even if it was because of a glitch, everything you do in the game is \"at your risk\").  You simply have to do the best you can to minimize these risks, because a simple mistake like that can be very detrimental to your game carreer.  And I\'ve seen some pretty rotten stuff...guys would die, get back to their corpse, and RIGHT AFTER they got their stuff back *BOOM* the game crashed before they could save.  You lost some crystals which took a couple hours to get, but there\'s been too many instances where people have lost a whole set of EQ that took them many RL months of gaming to get.  And in some cases, unique items--your crystals are a dime a dozen.  Just be glad you learned this lesson now, rather than down the road.

And the reason why admins shouldn\'t reimb people for any cause less than an admin\'s mistake is because it makes it too easy for someone to fake losses and get ahead in the game.  Internet anonymity at its finest...

It\'s just something you have to get used to.  Learn to CYOA (cover your own ass).

I think he means protection from other people looking at it when you enter it.  As of now, it shows your password in plain text at the login screen.  Most of us would greatly appreciate lots of *******s instead.  I\'m sure the devs are already on it though!
