Here are things you can't do:
- Give yourself murai
- Give yourself items
- Party with yourself for fights/grind
- Support yourself in rp
Here are things you can do
- Give yourself donation items
- Sell donation items for real murai (but then you can't trade that murai of course)
- Use your alt's publically available crafting station (I remember someone asking and being allowed to do this)
- Have someone stronger give you money and items at level 10
- REPURPOSE CHARS aka retire a char/die ic but change it to a totally different person. Aka the only way I'm able to play antags without shooting myself
So I ask thee: please let us transfer murai and items. It would save tremendous headache and unnecessary repetitive grind. Like it doesn't feel good to get a good drop on one dude but it'd be better on your other char. But oh if your party member was the one who got the drop he could trade it to your alt. Also professions, I can't trade myself hi potions even if I'm an alchemist, so everyone who plays an alchemist needs an alchemist friend etc. A funny thing is when you trade patrions over to an alt then you sell those patrions.. But couldn't just give him money even though functionally it's the same thing. And it doesn't take away enjoyment, quite the opposite, cause look I just don't enjoy farming murai.
So all in all... I feel like the benefits of the rule (making each char get its own stuff for progression) far outweight the positives of saving people tons of pain.
Also I'm just gonna say it, people circumvent this rule all the time. Especially when you're on your 43rd char and you are not feeling like grinding for days again while your other char sits on exactly what you need. Not me though I never break the rules.
I just think it's time to legalize murai and item trading between alts. I know it would make me enjoy the game a LOT more. Especially when so many adjacent acts are allowed it feels like a dated rule.
People do it already, we all know about it. Shit, even some GMs do it too.
I hear stuff like "Oh well it just wouldn't make sense IC-"
It doesn't make sense for a pre-established character in canon to have literally fuckall despite coming from a wealthy family, or IC having a unique sword that they call their own. Just.. it hurts no one to allow aside from maybe some people are awful about it.. but the general player base would benefit readily from this rule being removed.
EDIT: I literally cannot trade with people in the same household as me because, again, "Anti-Twinking rules". Which is beyond silly.
