I propose a command that would evenly divide your gold and distribute it to the party. An alternative to manually calculating and dividing, it would make for more faster, more convenient trips.
/split gold party
Could even be implemented to split gold between two characters.
/split gold character

Thoughts?

Stop being lazy and do /calc, it only takes a few seconds.

[Apocalypto]

I would like it, but wouldn't complain if it wasn't added

[Gaddy]

This doesn't seem real necessary---and in the end, how often would it really be used?
I think you've got some risk on division and accidents, especially if this is intended for both servers.


However, perhaps party systems that determine gold division would be interesting. Setting it up so that only the party leader collects gold or that all gold drops are divided evenly...
But again, I've never had noticable issues with players that I party with agreeing to and abiding by any terms we devise.

Or perhaps it could be an addition only to 1a. Where Multi server has /give alts gold, 1a could have /give party gold. Evenly splits gold on hand between existing party members. Seems easy enough to implement and it'd definitely be helpful. But its alo completely unnecessary and Sarah's a bum.

Supported, sort of.

PS: Gaddy and I joined the forums on the same day. The rest of you are noobs.

I realize it's lazy and unnecessary, but I came up with the idea (as sort of a joke) in-game and was encouraged by a staff member to suggest it on the forums.
As for risk of mistakes, there is already a risk of human error with /calc, and party members hidden.
Initially I thought it would be for 1a only, as I don't really see any need for it on multi; on 1a we are often splitting gold between training groups.

I like the idea. Seeing as multi has give alts gold, i doubt it would be to much of a hassle to change it to give party gold instead. Didnt think of that. What would be really cool is if the leader could split the party's gold without having it all. Because, even though it wasnt that big of an issue, lying about the ogld you get and stealing from bosses and things of that sort have occurred.

/give party [gold]

^Already a command.

[PrimeX85]

lol... dont really see the point of this, since /give party [gold] works well the way it is...

[Silk]

the problem lies in, hey gimme gold to split *all give gold* *dude is calcing* *click shade click* looks like noone is getting any gold but the lone thief that is one major problem with /give party gold. it might not be a super important addition but its def pretty solid as an idea. and seeing as this is nightmist all anyone ever gets to do is come up with ideas that never go anywhere

Or you could just go to town and split gold there?

[Gaddy]

Yea, you don't cluster your gold to a single character while you're in an area that you can be PK'd---not unless that character is a low level thief, intended to be protected by level difference.
^I've always felt that was very unfair, along with low level gold characters that people kept in the Museum to mule gold and log off.

[Gnarkill]

Maybe just lower the gold that drops per pk on 1a alt to a certain cap.. (not multi as I dont see this a huge problem on multi due to level 4 thief gold holders)

-probably not a good one but you can come up with the percent, I'm gonna say 25% for now just as an example(could be a bigger or smaller % whatever staff/players could agree on):

Stig(stig is a normal mortal crit in this case) kills me at current drop and I have 100k on me, I lose all 100k. Gnarkill cries and stops training out of frustration

Stig(stig is normal mortal crit in this case) kills me at 25% drop of the 100k I have on me, I lose 25k. Gnarkill says "no biggie" and leaves to another area.


that way even if they get the party leader only a % of the groups gold drops. Would most likely require admin.. no idea if anyone would support or even like the idea. I feel it would make pking a little more fun and a little less frustrating.

Trap deaths and other things should stay the same and you lose everything just to be a pain in the butt learning maps or running into a trap.

Also sorry to Stig for incriminating you with murder, but I used you as an example lol.
