Dropped item dissapeared

At the Tower (up from the Town Hall) I dropped a Glowing Short Sword, yet when I went back to "Movement" the sword wasn't on the floor, and I didn't see any other characters in the area.

Bug or intentional?

Intentional

Most likely someone WAS in the area. But if not, the item may have rotted. Due to all the rat whiskers left on the ground we have a 10 min item rot time.

Yep. Sorry about that. Im going to take the time to write up a detailed instruction book type document this weekend that will have all the rules of gameplay thus far. Hopefully that will help.

Beware item rot!!! ;)

No... I dropped the item and it didn't appear when the screen refreshed. I did a F5 refresh and it still didn't show. I didn't see any other character in that screen, so if they did get in and pick up the item they were increadably quick about it.

Let me know if you have this again. I believe I have found the source of this problem. Item rot was bugged. Dropping the item never reset the time it hit the ground so it counted when it was originally dropped/was bought in the rot time. Sorry for doubting you :P

I don't mind you questioning what happened... that's what Beta testing is all about :D
