I had an obscure bug that I imagine will never happen to anyone again, but I figured I am feeling sorry for myself and a bug report might cheer me up.

I am wearing a cloak that needs UMD item skill points to wear. If I log off when wearing it it displaces to my inventory.

I had full inventory when the server crashed today, and upon reloading the cloak went straght to my inventory as normal, however displaced some custom loot to the void. I.e. the item displaced just disappeared. This is like the old filled bag bug, that was fixed by our talented coders.

Allright this bug just got worse. Last time I lost a bow which was displaced by a cloak.

This time I died, and two items that I needed UMD to use - an axe and a cloak - both just disappeared from the server.

Calculor was there, and said he would replace them, but it is a bit harsh if all items used with UMD dissappear everytime you die.

I know this isnt a common problem, and that most DMs hate UMD... but I would love it if it was fixed.

Very strange! Did you have a full inventory at the time of death?

No I didnt. The first one was a full inventoy problem, so I can avoid that in future just by PvPing less noobs.... *coughs* I mean by carrying less of fallen allies free loot... valuable equipment... back to the temple for thier raise.

The second time I think it might have been because I was dead I had no inventory for them to go into? I am not really sure. All the rest of my normal gear was in my pack, and all the non-UMD worn/equiped items were in on my person when I was raised. I think the problem arises because I cannot use them without my UMD belt. And for some reason that does not add to skill till after the game looks to see if I can wield the gear. Mind you I cannot use the axe without also using eagles and aura of glory buffs stacked, neither of which will be around if I die.

Might be that you use a certain item or spell to boost your UMD (Charisma spell, item with UMD on it) - when you die, the UMD-required item on your body (when your base UMD is too low without the added bonusses) will disappear entirely (in EfU).

If you wear UMD items, that's probably the reason to cause this bug, though in other servers the item is just placed into your inventory. If you have enough space open, I'm not sure what causes it to disappear, but it's the only thing which comes to mind that might cause it. Hope I'm right (...for the sake of solving it) and that it leads to a scrappayedi-smile.
