Ah, hadn't spotted the Keep option. A nice touch to not leave someone completely broke.

If gp can be considered part of the inventory, another inventory option comes to mind - dropping it. Whether to repay Dear Old Dad for the 12 gp from his basket, or to stash your cash in a stump before visiting a certain master thief, it could be an interesting option.

Totally, I only one level fortitude and one level regeneration combine that with Redeemer and that enough for me to never use items to heal I just run away hide when HP get low and heal that way.

And what is the end product of all of this? A character that is invincible. now imagine if we provided skills more often than one every four level ups? Even more invincibility. Is this fun? Hell no it's not fun! Why? Because you are not challenged you are not forced to earn what you receive. I have a character who is 9+ years old at level 134 that has been overpowered for 7 years and I barely touch him. All my other characters hover between levels 45 and 60 and even the ones in the high 50s are overpowered due to grinding or excessive play to get more skills. In other words the new releases do not happen fast enough to outpace the advancement of these characters.
Heh heh I kinda like invincibility...I trying to work my way up to your guys levels and might as well do it slowly while waiting for updates, so I trying to get all the items too while waiting too! At my slow rate this game will last me several years and I won't need to play any other games ever again!

Excessive amounts of gold are a problem too. I can buy anything. Maybe we should introduce some very expensive items.
Yeah expensive items like luxury items would be good - anything to exchange all those useless gems and gold etc...just like in real life how we can spend on things that are expensive but useless except for status, like fancy clothes that make character look different etc...or maybe can buy houses in each town and decorate them or build a temple for the Shadow in each town or each part of the map decorate it with all my gems etc...

Um...I'd hate that even though I got too much gold I so greedy I hate even losing money in my video games...if you have to let thieves steal from us at least give us chance to get it back by chasing down thieves to get back what they stole by fighting.

Can you also introduce a casino or similar games of chance so we can use our excessive gold/gems/items to gamble with? I wouldn't mind my excessive items including gold if I could gamble with them to see how much I can actually collect by winning.
