People are hoarding A specific hidden shop (not to give it away) after every reset and is a battle between 4-5 people at a time. I’ve gone 3 times now immediately after reset to get much needed gear with no luck... this is becoming quite frustrating, I am sure I am now the only one.
That might not solve the problem. If there is only one item per reset and it is taken from the shops inventory then the same person could come along and repurchase the item at the beginning if the next reset. You might have to add more resets or limit the number of times an item can be taken from a shops inventory, which I don't think NWN is set up for. Another possibility is like the Town Portal Book have a boss drop "the item", like the Marvale priests. The Giant Champion drops an eye once for each player, might that work?

So one item per player, e.g. account, or player character per area? Also what happens it the item is PP'd or I lose it, lost a shield once moving between areas, and I need a replacement? Playing Devils Advocate here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah ... the stock will be unlimited/available to all except you can only buy one item once per reset. Cool!

Any chance of an ETA on this? The same person has beat me to every single reset that I have been online for, except one, for almost 2 weeks. I login within 5-10 seconds of the server coming back up and I'm still not fast enough.

I am in akon's right now, there are 4 other people here complaining about not being able to buy the Avatar amulet. ( amongst other things )

Remember, there is one guy doing all of this. Real life is intruding at the moment.

On a related note. I added a new forge stone that gives knockdown immunity.
