I think the idea of unidentified items was interesting back in 2004 when RO was first released but it hasn't aged well and is quite pointless.

 

• Is confusing for new players
• Forces players to carry around magnifiers (which are cheap items)
• Takes time to identify a large amount of items
• Players need to guess what items they are holding / looting
• Does nothing for actual gameplay

 

It would be better if all items dropped identified removing the need to identify anything.

Might as well. This is 2019 and no one really have time to inspect each items. In addition, people who grf edit thrir client to enable this feature are given the green light to do so while legit players have to invest extra time into identifying items.

Yeah, seems kinda pointless, pretty annoying when you have unidentified items in inventory taking up space/weight just to find out it is worthless junk later.

identifying is alright for the novelty aspect, but they could streamline it instead. Such as an "Identify All" option when you use a Magnifier.

That would need a rewrite of the identify system where changing all items to drop identified is a pretty simple config change.

Please do not post illegal servers content on these forums. And technically speaking, that will not and should not work on the official servers.

1. its just a block of random code and has nothing to do with the server architecture and isn't even a part of actual [Removed]...Also [Removed] is a reversed engineered open source program and isn't illegal

so not sure why you removed it.

2. I understand it may not work on iRO server but the change is very similar in execution.
