i dont think you understand i dont touch it except to save with the book i dont move anything nothing like that. the effect randomly pops up most of the time nothing happens and all is good but every now and then everything i purchased is taken when leaving. as i said it doesent appear to be lag related as it happend this last time shortly after a reset ( as in within 10 min of one) perhaps its a dailogue issue or something but it is a rather annoying problem for several people that needs looked into atleast

yes, i've lost random recently bought items many times... I would guess that the problem is the actual purchase script isn't properly setting the 'bought' flag on every item due to lag and then when you exit the store, those items vanish with the exit script (that's checking for stolen goods).

But honestly, except for maybe the lvl13 items, the stuff doesn't really cost that much so if you lose something, go back in and buy it, the server is in beta..ahh..no wait can't use that one anymore...ok, blame Auril! he likes to sit outside of stores dm-invis and PP items from people for fun, then later he plants them on mob remains for you to find...yeah, that's it...really.

that could be part of the problem but still i believe the other situations are true as well since i have lost things when it wasnt laggy.

and...2dozen stacks of lvl25+ arrows lost becomes quite expensive :)
