I know I didnt posted this, but I wanna do something similari. Something
like saving a unik quest-item given by a god for a live quest. You know
something to add the roleplaying part of the game. It could be a exact copy
of another object and only the name/short/long descript was changed, to make
it look different. But what are a unik item worth if it is lost after a
reboot, or when you quits?
