You are such a music hound! Morrisey ROCKS!

But, topic wise, drops are based on a randomizer if I remember correctly, so rare is relative to the numbers assigned.
technically The Smiths, but i'll let you off this time.
I know it's from The Smiths, but The Smiths *IS* Morrisey!!! At least I was alive when that song first came out... Of course, is that something to brag about?

Rare drops of pop culture sidetracks/hijacks is at a rate of at least 85% per thread.

Heres something I've noticed lately: The gong is not so wonderful anymore. I've gotten the gong at least once per day this past week only to find some masterwork weenie item or maybe a +2 item and some gold. I remember when the gong was cause for excitement...of wonderment at the luck of the mortals receiving a gift from the Gods. Sadly, no more. If I hear a gong, I feel dread...all consuming apathy for whatever drops. Perhaps I can sell the trinket for a stack of arrows. *sigh* Wondrous Gong, why hast thou deserted us?
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Okay, you got me. That tops mine. You really must have rolled a one on every single option for a drop. And then at the end, rolled another one just for spite's sake. :P

I must say the system here is awesome. but of coure I am new & don't know of the past system. Also take into consideration I am used to enemies always dropping the same things. you kill this guy, you get this. you knew where to go to farm whatever. but we had the ability to make a full set of custom items, custom to your player and stats. all you had to do was write up a unique story for each item. and one weapon could total 100k and everything else had to be 50k. nothing could have a skill bonus of more than +3 either. so from my PoV, the system is great.

oh and xfering items between ur own chars...you can do that here :shock: damn I am used to first time, get a strike of 20% loss of everything. second time strike is 50% of everything and again is permanent ban. & an instant NO on any app for subraces, player home and customs.

WOW...talk about differences

I don't take things to the trash can with this particular char I zap them with the electrifyer, but as I say I was disgusted with the gong drop like that. Besides you don't even know which char or where it was.

Oh BTW sometimes the drops are really small, like a whip or dagger, and can't be seen except by hitting the tab key and even then you have to move off a bit. I know I almost lost a cool dagger in the swamp because I couldn't see it but the gong said something dropped! I had to really look for it. But yes the gong is now sounding for real wimpy stuff.
