EM Asiantam: I have a request

EM Asiantam: it would be nice
EM Asiantam: what do you think?
Mesanna: you are talking just the cc right?
EM Asiantam: yes
EM Asiantam: classic
Mesanna: Ok putting hbs in the manifest is not soing to solve the issue you spoke about
Mesanna: but
Mesanna: putting the hbs in the manufest will make for a very over crowded gump

Mesanna: we probably would not do that
Mesanna: thank you
EM Asiantam: ok

EM Asiantam:
Mesanna: wonderful
EM Asiantam: about stone doors and metal doors

EM Asiantam: are you realized that we can place them to cusstomized houses?
EM Asiantam: not only classic houses?
EM Asiantam: so you are not restricting it to classic house right?
Mesanna: are you saying you can place these tiles in customized houses also?
EM Asiantam: not tiles
EM Asiantam: doors
EM Asiantam: metal doors and stone doors
Mesanna: same thing
Mesanna: if you can put them in a customized house
Mesanna: with just the doors
Mesanna: then thats a bug
Mesanna: due to an exploit
Mesanna: or issues it causes
EM Asiantam: so she can place a door
EM Asiantam: because those doors don't consume lockdown
EM Asiantam: lockdown numbers
EM Asiantam: so
Mesanna: thats not the reason
EM Asiantam: she is afraid
Mesanna: people can take them
Mesanna: its a bug
Mesanna: do not put them in those locations
EM Asiantam: yes she knows
Mesanna: if you can we need to fix it
EM Asiantam: she is afraid if you delete them suddenly
EM Asiantam: because
EM Asiantam: now
EM Asiantam: many players have already placed them in their houses
Mesanna: we are not going to delete them
Mesanna: but she needs to move it
EM Asiantam: does it effect house secure numbers?
Mesanna: if its locked down it should
Mesanna: once its fixed no one will be able to place those in those locations
EM Asiantam: but you wont delete them so players wont lost them, right?
Mesanna: we will not delete them no
Mesanna: players can if they are open
Mesanna: because when opened its no longer in the house
Mesanna: thank you
EM Asiantam: if possible in the future can you show each of them are they for classic house or not
EM Asiantam: thank you

Player: If a talisman reads protection from orc 50 % will
Player: it protect only against the basic orc or all creatures vulnerable to an orc slayer property?
Player: cant find an explanation for it
Kyronix: I am not 100% sure, but I think it's against all types of orcs

Mesanna: Greetings

EM Asiantam: lol
Player: could you please consider makeing all magic loot
Player: the same as exceptionally crafted
Player: in imbuing weight
Player: like jewelry
Mesanna: so you don't have to use the forging tool?
Player: no so iif i find a looted pc
Player: with 2 properties
Player: the imbuing of it would be 500 pts not 450 like now
Mesanna: true
Mesanna: we will talk about it
Player: asking for loot to be like jewelry
Mesanna: ahh
Player: arings and bracelet are 500
Mesanna: originally we did it to save the crafters
