the main reason i dont like to die.

now if you were giving away shiny nickels for christmas, i would trade mine and steal his *points randomly* and give them to you if you would just please please please code something to where when you die you dont forget your spell list. i mean how cool would that be, and sense everyone (except me im lazy) has macros for the spell list anyway what harm would it do, i mean it doesnt seem to have a point so yeah do it, remember you get 2 nickels after all.

Err... As far as I recall when I died with my little alt while clearing my spellbook :-) I still had all my spells in the mem-list, but yes, I didn't have them memorized, if that is what you are asking for...

If it's the latter you want, then I have to ask why?

the question here is why not, just take all mem'd spells and put them in memlist.

I thought they changed the code recently (in the past week or so) so that when you die all of your previously prayed/memed spells do go in your mem list? So all you'd have to do when you come back alive is rest and pray/mem.

Am I misunderstanding? I think he's asking that when you die, you should still have the spells you hadn't used prayed/mem'd up.

Two words:

Highly unbalanced.

Casters not forgetting their spells means they can technically just jump right back into a group without any sort of real delay (other than having to get healed). That'd be like letting melee keep their weapons/shields/mounts when they died.

Kinda like the same reason resfx was implemented on Toril1.

Besides, it doesn't take that long to deathmem if you're a pure caster. 3-5 minutes isn't that big of a deal. Start your deathmem before you get ressed and it won't muck up your pray/memtimes, as well.

I think he's asking that too, but it would take away one of the main limiting factors on caster power in high-end zones.

I remember a time when people fit their playing style around the game, instead of trying to bend the game around their playing style.

This is not a hack n slash mud.

As things stand now, your mem list is preserved, but all spells are unmemmed. It really doesn't speed up the re-mem process for me, but it DOES save a whole lot of effort on my fingers (since I never bothered with an alias or anything...)
