This is a suggestion which I have been wanting to make for a while.

Basically its a chest, open to everyone; which allows you to place items inside, which will never rot away.

Its uses are many:

1) A community chest, where everyone can place his items
2) A (locked) guild chest, where items are stored for the guild's usage

ect.......

I think this basically possible to disable rotting in chests. The problem is, that every server restart would wipe those items.

how many server restarts have we these days?

Well, if every chest would make a "back up" of its content every... 45 minutes so a possible reset wouldn't be that harsh, maybe that'd work.

But that's my idea without knowing much about what kind of scripts would be needed to have a backup system for every individual communual chest around, and how much stress that'd put on the server and such.

if NPCs have an individual inventory, like player-chars, it should be possible, to make a NPC as town-purser.

everybody could "sell" to him, (without getting paid)
and just persons/chars, who know his "password" could "buy" from him (without being charged)

or, the "town-purser" gives out tax-certificates for money recieved.

Thubert's idea would be good for the community chest, a chest where everyone shoves stuff in, since no-one will miss it if a small item goes missing.

However, if its a guild chest, full of building materials, and coins; then the backup would have to be done every time there is a change.

I like the idea, but indeed a backup would have to be made every so much time.
