> Second, you can now be arrested for being too close to your inventory limit.

Could you elaborate on what this means please?

What is "too close" to our inventory limit?

Why does inventory limit impact chances of being caught?

Thanks!

"Too close" is ten or fewer from your inventory limit.

"Arrested" means caught and punished by the law in that area.

Presumably this item check only occurs when searching? If you just go in and get out, it shouldn't trigger?

I assume that the reason for this change is to encourage behavior to prevent character corruption. Any chance that could be changed to happen on the SEARCH instead of BURGLE, in that vein?

If this is a corruption/game limitation issue, it would make more sense to have you transported to junk yard if you're too close to inventory limit.

What's the justification for the IC penalty?

>If you get (automatically) moved while inside, you can't be sent back to where you were. It doesn't exist anymore.

This is the exact issue, yes. You can get sent back to a formless void where there's no exit, and be stuck there until the room gets reused by someone else B&E (which you may not notice as it doesn't message the formless void that it's changing), or until a GM can fish you out.

An easy way to tell if you're going to be arrested for the item limit, is INV CHECK. If you use INV CHECK, and get the messaging "You are carrying more than X items! Please reduce your inventory count IMMEDIATELY!" that's the exact same range that will get you arrested.

>It just seems weird to attach an in character penalty to it.

I think this is the concern. However badly the problem was originally articulated, I think the concern is valid.

>Right, but if the check is on BURGLE and not SEARCH as Javac mentioned, then it could send you to the junk yard before you enter the instance. Or, you know, just give you an error message saying you can't burgle until you lower your item count.


I agree 100%!!!
