Hiya folks! Got an idea: how about if things are changed so that when a mob loots stuff from your corpse, it becomes owned by you so that if the mob is killed and then its corpse decays quickly, your items don't go poof? I got killed by the vampy today, someone went in and finished him for me, I went in and started re-equipping and after not even 2 minutes the vampy's corpse went bye-bye along with a few rather choice items he'd looted from me. It seems that if we don't want to have the code too separated for pkill and mobkill, we should make the mobs obey the same rules in regard to looting as the players do :) -Chay

Mobs do obey the rules that players do: if the corpse poofs they follow ownership rules on the object from the corpse. However, the objects that poofed from the corpse wouldn't have been owned. However, with this latest code update, they are owned, so you shouldn't have the same problem unless you don't pick up the objects before the ownership wears out in 2 RL days. -Ea!
