Re: Proposal (artifacts)




 I remember this being discussed before.

 There are a few problems.

 What about a player that joins the game and has the same artifact
another player does?  Do you remove one of them (pretty unfair
if you do.)

 If a player leaves the game, with an artifact, is that then removed
from the unique list (which then means the situation above could happen.)

 Also, on a server environment, it would mean that all of the artifacts
could be snatched up.  Especially with the various large stores and
stuff where artifacts can also be created.

 It is a nice idea to do so, and make sense, but with a multiple player
environment, becomes much more difficult to do fairly.  Depending on
how it is done, it either has very little effect (if only active players
with artifacts are added to the unique list), or very great effect
(if an artifact can not be created again until the previous one is 
destroyed).  The later would mean the first people who player on a new
server could grab the good artifacts, and no other player would ever
get it.
