Um, actually, I did something similar...but well, there's no reason you can't sleep in a city street...so I made more modifications...Players can sleep in certain indoor rooms (ie, inns, homes, etc) but anywhere else they must 'camp'...you can't camp in certain areas...not enough room, too much activity around etc. Furthurmore, camping takes about 1/2 a tick to do, and puts random pieces of the group's eq you're not wearing into the camp and sets up a campfire :) You can then sleep in the camp. Typing camp again (1/2 tick delay) retrieves your eq. Most players would prefer to rest when traveling alone, or if in a group they would need someone to stay awake and watch over the camp. Other players can try to pilfer stuff from the camp but it takes them 1/2 tick per item they steal from the camp. Kinda cool if you get attacked while camped...you don't wanna leave your stuff behind :) Just some suggestions... I still need to make mobs steal from camps and fix some group camp bugs... /Michael
