Admitidly I have NO idea how the gathering of resources or items will work on EfU, so this could be completely unresonable. That being said I would like to see some type of mechanism for a higher level character to at least gather some resources and not be completely SOL assuming they have lost all their gear due to a server crash. If the DM team believes this function is better suited to a friends network I understand, just thought it was worth bringing up. -dholt5

Actually, the phenomenon of characters losing all their equipment in a server crash is one that I at least hope to prevent. We'll see how it goes, and this is still being discussed, but I'm hoping to have a system in place to address issues of that kind.

EDIT: Oh, and there will be various means of earning gold and resources for all level ranges.

I'm just concerned that people might abuse the feature. "Let's wait for a server reset so we can safely get his body and gear back", kind of thing.

It wouldn't be an automated feature, but simply that I as a DM see no reason not to attempt to address and resolve issues where a poorly timed crash erases all of a character's equipment.

This is still being discussed, but specific guidelines about how to report major issues of this kind will eventually be posted.
