If you don't know what tag locking is, that's where you have to be wearing a certain tag in order to use the item that is tag locked
Using this system, you couldn't equip the Dustari shield unless you're wearing a Dustari tag
I've come to realize a lot of kingdoms leaders are getting upset with kingdom items leaving their kingdom
This could effectively solve that problem

To my knowledge, it should be fairly easy to code
I know this could be easily implemented on kingdom event weapons seeing how prepped weapons are account locked
But I'm not entirely sure how the armor is equipped
I know if all armor is thrown under the same equipping code, then it would be a pain the change the code itself
but you could still easily just make it to where the item gives you none of the stats advertized on it
if the item gives speed+1, you can code the item itself to only do so when the appropriate kingdom tag is worn

The point of this thread is more to get an idea of how many people would actually want such a system implemented
I know the actual implementation will probly take a lot more effort than the poll

The point of this reply is to note that what you propose is more impractical than you think and to also note the absence of ending punctuation from your post.

I second that, as I have always been saying that to him.

Hmm, i've no idea since i couldnt script a thing, but surely it can't be that hard to do? How hard exactly is it?

It shouldn't be that hard ;

If it's tag locked then just do the whole

NPC Code:

---

if (strequals(#g,OMFG)) {

lolol let equip plz;

else dont plz;

}

---

I suck at scripting but it should look SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING like that. ;

Impracticality != hard to do. Besides, you need to take the mudlib system in consideration too when you script it, which would make it more complex.
