Nirn Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 EDITED. Please do not reveal your character on the forum. Raar. And yes, it happens. You have to be fast, or go to your corpse yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random_clown Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Does it count as revealing your character on forum if your forum name is already the name of your character? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hippo Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 In those cases the immortal staff will either let you change your in game name, or your forum name. And there shouldn't be that problem when in the terms and agreements it says you wont do that kind of crap anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questioner Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Regarding his previous question it happens to all of us. Sadly but suredly, there is pit theft in game constantly. People take advantage of this and steal your items before you know it. I have personally never stolen from the pit. However I have taken from corpses of battles. That is something I will constantly do. Stealing from pits should be regarded a crime as well. Maybe not though, seeing it is a "free pit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deykari Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Nothing wrong with pit-theft IMO. If I look in the pits and see items in there that obviously belong to someone else who's waiting for them there and if it's in my characters RP, I'll take them. I got OOC flak for taking a pinn's items from the pits whilst I was rank 5; all I can say is that if you're going to wait for your things to reappear in a public, open, free pit, you'd do best to be very vigiliant to ensure you get those things, else it's tough luck. If I'm ever waiting at the pits for my gear (which is only on rare occassion, when I can't get back to my gear as a ghost) I would expect anybody to take whatever from the pits, so I'm always checking the pits. If I lose my things to someone who types 'get all pit' faster then that's my own tough luck to someone who was more vigilant or faster than I. Just my view anyway, Dey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb5679 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Personally, I never wait by my pit if I die, I go run off somewhere else so its not so obvious I'm waiting for it. Not sure what this person's situation was since its red-markered but if it was from a winter death or something then don't stand by your pit. It takes roughly 15 minutes for your corpse to decompose and bring your items back to the pit. So when you die, look at the time, wait about 13-14 minutes somewhere else then goto your pit. If the situation regarded you teleporting away from a pk and someone else (maybe not even the person trying to pk you) grabbing your EQ, well, then, thats the game you play with teleport.

Dobson Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Not a crime. Anything left in the pit is free for anyone to take. If someone is waiting at the pit for the eq, and someone else takes it WHILE YOU ARE THERE, you can complain and see where you get. Now if you quit out and come back, shame on you. If you simply didn't care enough, find out they didn't loot, run to the pit and it's gone. Again, boo hoo. And by complain I mean if a triby council is on and you can get 5 other people to complain with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 This is why I always choose non main cities as my hometown if I can. Hardly anyone is going to chance by Khorandain or the Hive when your stuff appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Hippo Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Ummm... I kinda went over the terms and Agreements cause i kinda had to :-S. Next up! it's not a law to steal from pits... **** i would have been doing it if i didn't realize that it was not a crime. When Marty was around he got mad cause i looted from a corpse which i just immediatley took the pit was the same way. Oh well, more fun for me :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questioner Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Haha! You reminded me of when I was passing thorugh val and I saw some pinned invoker's corpse lying on the ground. Marty was standing there doing Chayesh knows what. I decided to have some fun and took some choice items from the corpse. I tipped my hat to Marty and took off for dear life. That is when Marty WANTED me and did that trib-skill. I finally persuaded him into believing that one of those items was mine and the rest I'd return. He never knew the lie I was smacking his face with. Fun times. Wish despiser would roll up another char. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirn Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Pit stealing Thanks for the replys. Guess I could make a pit stealing character. That would be his mission in life just run around all the temples typing get all like a mad man. Since its all legal right? No deletions or wanted flags. Thanks jb5679 for the advice. And I do remember when pit looting would earn you a wanted flag. Imagine my supprise. I played like 5-6 years ago and just recently started my addiction again.

CoffeeBuzz Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Guess how I equip nearly every single char from ranks 1-30, PIT stealing!! Heck, the very first thing I do when I roll a char is check all the pits in main cities. Everytime I recall I queue up a 'l in pit'. Oh the treasures you will find. Nowadays not so much it seems, but back in the day ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hegemon Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Yeah, I've gotten some absurd items from the pit. On the flip side, due to my paranoia and obsessive tendencies, I've yet to get MY things stolen from the pit, when I die somewhere that I'm not going to be able to get them back.

Chayesh Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Yes and no. That quest was always there to show where the temples are even when looting pits was a crime. But yeah...it makes that newbie quest all the more valuable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpnow Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 I always do something like alias lootpit g all pit;g all pit;g all pit;g all pit;g all pit;g all pit;g all pit;g all pit;g all pit;g all pit;look and then spam it til my things reappear.

Nightmare_from_hell Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 heh heh... yeah, first thing I do as rank 1 is walk through the newbie arena and check all the pits in the towns you can get to from there... it's amazing what you'll find in Marak's pits sometimes...

Dizz Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 exam p Shows the pit to see if I want to bother raiding it. Usually with my evil chars, sometimes neutrals if she is chaotic. I see it as the same as walking into the church and raiding the poor box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
