I've been thinking..
There needs to be a way to copy the invisible force and pshop keys so one on your clone chars can use the pshop too..
The idea is you copy the pysical key at an insane price, and the invisible force for more..
Ideas?

We've talked about making more keys for the pshops but limiting them specifically to alt characters. The reason for oriinally making them 1 owner shops was to make it very easy to see who owned them, and to prevent any sort of he stole my sword stuff.

Allowing other keys to exist could confuse this issue - we could designate a master key and duplicate keys which is where we were with this last time I recall. I personally don't have a problem with them having multiple keys - we just have to decide if they are going to be any limits to how many keys you can pass around. Remember that once the python upgrade is done there is a plan for the 4th floor to allow players to sell items at their own prices and collect the money.

I believe any duplicate keys we make should be god given so they can not be given to anyone else somehow. I could make a small map in the pshops where you could log in both the master pshop owner and the character you want to have the new key and I don't think that would be difficult to create.

It's really a policy question I guess, do y'all want to be able to share pshop keys with other players recognizing that once you give them a key they can take anything you have in there? Perhaps we say you can share it among your own characters but if we find anyone else has a key we take the pshop away? I will not support pshops having multiple real people using them or all we've done there is make new guilds - but I actually think allowing all of one players accounts access is fine.

what if a pshop is resold? does it remain the same number, or do you simply edit the map file and change the map slaying options?

Use python to take the keys back, like they have in GuildMaster scripts.

I agree that the duplicates should be expensieve and god giver. Great idea :P
