I think Medievia is using something like this... Items have a remaining days which is decremented while you are playing (I don't THINK it decrements while you are offline.) I don't know what happens at the end of the count, however.
A good wear and tear system would probably work well. Couple with a cap on quantity in game. However, would it be better to count items in play when spawning, or total items including saved...?
