If you do have to unexpectedly leave for a month then your items will go to your friend. surely most people would give them back. after all the person you give them to will probably be the person your friendliest with and trust most in the whole world of planeshift. if that person wont listen to your explanation then give them back.....well, you made a bad choice.
as for the point its just so that if you get a sudden urge to hate the game and never play again you\'re items can still go to a friend
