I posted something like that a long time ago and it was nothing more than something I wrote in a mail message so not much thought went into it. It was more to give the idea of what to do than anything else. Hell, a couple of lines of basic code can't be much more than that anyeways. > > I also set up a double array to equip the new player depending on the > class they choose.

Example... thief gets dagger..can be one of many daggers... A long silvery dagger. A slender steel dagger. A dull dagger. A basic dagger. A small jeweled dagger. etc etc.. All daggers should be of same value, damage etc or else you people makiing zillions of newbies trying to get a certain weapon or piece of equipment. I did it this way because I get totally sick of seeing everyone having the same equip all the time. On most muds you see all newbies with the same stuff, all mids with the same stuff, etc etc. I guess I idealy would like to see a person's setup be a little different than everyone elses.
