This is a discussion on anything pertaining to players "owning" anything on the MUD.

I think we should add Wills to the game so that if a character dies or is erased, that all of his "belongings" (this would include gold and any other permenent objects except sash's and badges obviously) would be passed on to an NPC, who would hold the rights to all of the objects until a PC who has been willed the objects pays the fees to retrieve this stuff.

I think everything ever attained by the character should be passed to an NPC and held for the player that they willed everything thing to. But only when the died and go to heaven.

Well the point of this would not be for people who just "died." It would only be for people who have experienced The Death and are completely gone. Also, the reason I thought of this is that there are players who created a player and raised them to level 10 or 15, and just never played (that char) again. In some cases it seems like an aweful waste of time for them to have done that, and rather than all of their belongings (primarily coins) being dest'ed, when their char was erased (whether it was The Death, wipeme, or the system deleted the char), all of their belongings would be passed to someone else in the game.

I don't particularly want a way of passing 40 million coins to a new level 1 character. Once we get houses and the like then it might be reasonable to consider this idea. We need to consider this for clan halls also.

Given that the only other equipment that survives a logout/login are things like wedding rings I don't think we need to consider anything the player carries.

Given then that the ownership of such things as clan halls and dwellings will be well known and won't change often we could feasibly just handle it manually when it occurs and not put effort into coding anything.
