@Mod Pips - - Several people have asked about rare/discontinued items on a 2007 server. We've not got any set plans for this yet, so why not let us know how you think we should introduce rare items, if at all?
-----------------------
True, tradable "rares" cannot be added by design, as evidenced by the recent Fish Mask and Christmas Tree Hat. If people had know that Party Hats would (or even could) become so outrageously rare and expensive, they would have hoarded them... and then they wouldn't be rare.
The best you can do is introduce some extremely hard-to-get items and discontinue them. And invariably you will have a few people get multiples, while most players try hard and just get "unlucky". Those things tear the community apart.
If people believe that there is a chance that you even might discontinue items by surprise, to create rares, they will just hoard everything - which spells bank space problems right from the start.
Speaking of bank space problems... if you don't want to creat them, get rid of Uri's Emotes for treasure trails, before you even launch the game. They are extremely impractical to do, unless you keep a stock of required items, which takes up a HUGE amount of bank space. Save yourself some server capacity, and your players a lot of frustration.
