Title: Weight changes when I log in and out
Post by: creeper386 on August 17, 2006, 02:01:06 AM
Why, if I'm carrying some heavy stuff around, I log out, log back in later on and all the sudden I can't carry it? It's quite disturbing when I'm having troubles carrying something but still able to, and then when I log in I'm not able to any more.

Is there some issue with things changing weight? I wouldn't imagine between logging out earlier today and logging back in that the objects were changed ...

Anyone else have any problems with this? And how should I handle it?

I remember moving a piano one day. With four friends, the next day , I swear it wouldn't budge. And then two weeks later, we tried again, and it was ten times heavier, I'm sure.

Our bodies change every day, hell every hour. If I suddenly couldn't do it Icly, I'd just put it off to being sore/tired etc.

Oocly though, that doesn't sound right.. did you just have a birthday and change stats?

I'm 90% certain that your weight issues are caused by coins.

When you log in with a massive pile of coins in your pack, their weight is negligible until you pull them out and put them back in, whereupon they mysteriously gain their natural weight back.

If you have a very large stash of coins on your person, and you pull out the whole pile, your encumbrance can go from light to heavy very quickly.

I have seen this. I was wondering about that.

Hmm, no birthday, nor did I move coins about at the time ... So not really sure, I was just curious as to the things that might cause it.

Thanks guys.

I have never heard of this before, but I suggest emailing the mud to explain exactly what happened (with a log if you have one).
