alright I know there is a thread on here about add ons I just dont see it. so I did find this....if we are still looking for persistent banking. nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=NWN2Scripts.Detail&id=87*updated link* this one is for NWN2 its for scarface's persistent banking and storage system. I know they use it on Realms of trinity. Dont know how easy it would be to add as I am no mod builder, but I thought I would throw it out there if the server is still looking into banking. |

I thought a bank was already implemented in the server.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't understand this... whats the purpose? You don't lose gold when you die, it doesn't weigh anything, and it's a hassle to go get if you want it quickly.

Currently there is no purpose but that's not to say that there won't be sometime in the future.
This PW is still very much a work in progress and the developers have just gotten to the point where they can now address gameplay issues.
Now don't let this spark any rumors. I'm not privy to developer discussions and have no idea what their ultimate purpose for the banking system is.

Banking is far more than gold. Its for item storage. Plus say your carrying around a large sum of coin, your now the target of pick pockets.. you lose it to them. Think more than just death penalties and gold on this one  -Ice |

Yes, specially with the new chests and loot system, my character walks around encumbered all the time. If I had a bank or a chest to put my stuff I would be very happy. I dont carry stuff just because I need them right now. I have several itens that I dont use, but I dont sell them either. They could be very valuable for RP later and to be used as a gift for friends and allies.

Once we get everyone to put all their hard-won loot in the bank, we will have the option to either crash the economy or have a bank robbery. Runaway inflation might work, too! |

Okay, in my view, banking and storage are two vastly different things. I would be all for persistent storage.
As for thieves ripping my gold off, what, they can get like 20-30 coins a PP attempt? With a 2 lb. limit on PP thats all they could get. This is of course assuming standard gold 10:1 lb ratio. Not scary. (BTW that's something to look into. De-woosify this video game crowd and make gold have weight. Gems become a lot more valuable.)

Gold has no weight, and so there is no real guard to how much a rogue can PP from you. I think I have had 110 before (on another server).. with 2 attempts thats an alright size of gold to get from you. If they want to be ass's they can hit you 2 more times for a little more, plus they can knab your potions, gold, kits/tools, there is still a lot under a 2lb limit Mind you I dont PP on this server. Plus banking/Storage is rougly the same thing, think deposit boxes. Back then they didnt have storage places like we do now -Ice |

Its something we want to do for sure. but its a system that will need work. None of the current banking systems have addressed the item duping issue of having certain events transpire like a server crash or what not and having items duplicated in your bank account.
This could be potentially ugly say if +3 weapons or armor were copied. regardless though, we will have it at some point. I'm sure a few of you have already seen the bank thats ready to go in the Palace district.
