and as far as missing items, server lag has been known to make inventory appear as though items are missing, when in fact all it takes is a refresh or two and they seem to magically be back.
Well, that might have been the case for the trias since I can't say for sure that it didn't "refresh" and show up after I started earning, I doubt it though. In the case of the armor repair kit though, I am still playing (hours later) and still no repair kit has returned. Are you saying I should have to log out and then back in? If that is the case then that is a bit of an issue as nobody will want to do that everytime items dissapear due to lag, and on the other hand if you are saying that I can play for hours and still not see this item "refreshing" in my inventory then that is a bit of a problem as well.
Thinking of the players experience, simply writing this off to lag and refresh issues is probably not the answer a player would want to hear. Imagine mining or fight creatures for a week to get enough drops or trias to buy a nice weapon or armor and then logging off only to log on the next day and find it has simply vanished. Now you ask for help and are told "a refresh or two and they should magically be back". Add to that, as in my case, they don't come back. This will dishearten players quickly.
Also, typically with lag I should see slow downs, mouse hangs, random character/NPC oddities lik e teleporting, etc... I have not really experienced any of these problems today that I have noticed.
Given these facts, is there anything else that comes to mind with this issue?
