I think you underestimate the reaction to people having anything in their inventory taken without their consent with no ability for return... but ok.

Do you have a "Fat Wallet" on you, or "A dirty handkerchief"?

That's the bit you are looking for.

I was flamed for stealing 10 gp, the first and only use of PP on Amia for me.

That's just pathetic, isn't it?

ok after reading discos post I looked at it again and I was wrong I think about the gold so in turn the big exploit I was thinking

Once its determined that you succeeded, for each lift you have a 5% chance to obtain a random item from the target, adding 1% to that chance for every 5 points you beat the DC by. If you don’t get an item then you’ll get a gold and XP reward instead. The amount of gold you get is calculated as follows: [Amount you beat the DC by * Your highest pickpocket-capable class level]. This is subject to a maximum limit of 5% of the target's gold. The XP reward is equal to 5% of the gold lift. If the target has no gold, you get 10xp.

I was reading it as a max of 5% total gold not[Amount you beat the DC by * Your highest pickpocket-capable class level] gold to a max of 5% of thier total

I have no clue where you got that from, to be honest.

No borders, no banks!

Anyway, I just finished my banking system overhaul. This is what it's gonna be.

You get a few new convo actions on the Morgan's & Sons employee:

Can you show me what's on my account?
Does what it does now, but in alphabetical order.

I want to take items out of my account
Shows you your stuff in alphabetical order, in pages of 10 items. You simply select what you want to withdraw.

I demand better services!
You can get four levels of services.
Normal user: 20 slots. You pay 5 gold pieces for each item you retrieve.
Gold Member: You pay 10000 gold. You get 10 extra slots (so 30 total) and you pay no fees.
Platinum Member: You pay 100000 gold. You get 10 extra slots (so 40 total) and you pay no fees.
Insane Member: You pay 1000000 gold. You get 10 extra slots (so 50 total) and you pay no fees.

Steep? Of course!

"Diamond" member for the top level!

No, Insane Member.

Ahh... Madam wants to upgrade her membership? Well, we are pleased to offer you this... *opens the brochure at page 7*

Insane Member: You get 50 slots instead of 40 for an outrageous 1 000 000 gold.

1. 1 000 000 gold? I must be insane to pay that for 10 more slots. That's a deal, then.
2. 1 000 000 gold? Right. I am out of here.

And if you want to get higher you get this reply:

Unfortunately you are already an Insane Member. Try the Salandrans, perhaps?

Please stop discussing members.

@Disco's post:

Weston, Salandran: "We're sorry, but treating your insanity would ruin your membership."

Aso lets us make gold on respawn uncapped instead of capped at the paltry 40k. Should have used the bank.

Yes please! I've been asking for that for ages.

Although... maybe pickpockets should be usable on a bank and drain from a random account with lotsa cash.

That I strongly disagree with. You put money in the bank to be safe ... and you have twenty people a day farming there for money. Not at all fair or nice, and a good way to discourage using the system.

It was a joke, btw. A quick look at the update logs should suggest that I am not one for taking risks and doing funky stuff.

I like this and I'm going to use it. But please don't give me another plotted membership card that can't be stowed away. :lol:

Anyway, folks: cash in any tickets you have from other people.

Before you scrap the old bank, perhaps put up a very obvious sign in the entry telling people about the change. God knows people don't read forums.
Please also allow people to cash in their tickets via DMs when old system is scrapped.

Nopes. They shoudl complain with teh person selling the item to them. He must be around if the item has disappeared.

mimics... end of story.

Quick question Disco : can Mythal Tubes be stored at the Bank *safely* ?

ie : when retrieved, will the Tube still hold same number of mythals or does the bank 'recreate' the original item, ie an empty mythal tube ?

It should work. You store and retrieve a perfect copy of each item.

Bank system is not functional quite yet. I've tested it, and posted in Improving Amia.
