ANALYZE has been updated to consider where an item is worn when it tells you whether or not it can be lightened or deepened any further, as well as any restrictions on the number of items it can hold. This is not a change of the 'rules' for these containers, but rather, bringing ANALYZE in line with our maximum capacity standards which are used at normal merchant lightening/deepening sessions.

While some of your containers may now correctly indicate they cannot be deepened when previously ANALYZE said otherwise, you may also have other containers which now indicate they can be deepened if they were previously lightened to max light before you finished deepening. We also allow extremely tiny containers (like jewelry) to be lightened to under a pound, where previously they were limited to two pounds from merchant lightening/deepening.

Howdy folks!

ANALYZE has been updated to consider where an item is worn when it tells you whether or not it can be lightened or deepened any further, as well as any restrictions on the number of items it can hold. This is not a change of the 'rules' for these containers, but rather, bringing ANALYZE in line with our maximum capacity standards which are used at normal merchant lightening/deepening sessions.

While some of your containers may now correctly indicate they cannot be deepened when previously ANALYZE said otherwise, you may also have other containers which now indicate they can be deepened if they were previously lightened to max light before you finished deepening. We also allow extremely tiny containers (like jewelry) to be lightened to under a pound, where previously they were limited to two pounds from merchant lightening/deepening.

INSPECT (verb)

Subject: INSPECT update - additional capacity categories

Additional container size categories have been added to the verb! There have been some communication issues regarding container capacity, both between players and between players and staff. This is designed to more narrowly pinpoint the capacity of a container in question. The old categories were very small, small, medium, large, and very large. The new scale is:

very small
small
fairly small
somewhat small
slightly small
medium
slightly large
fairly large
large
particularly large
very large
significant
exceptional
huge
incredible
enormous
gigantic

Containers can still range in capacity within those categories, but the spread is no longer quite as wide. This does not affect the actual capacity of any existing containers, but may result in the capacity displaying differently. This update involves the INSPECT verb only. No items have been touched with this update.
