Nope
At the moment it does nothing. It is speculated that will do as much as it does now, to allowing you to create artifacts that rival Fade. =) bwhahaha.
Anyway. I think it will be used for the new 'kingdom code'. Exactly how is heretofore yet unknown. I'd like to see it be able to be used for a restring or two.
I also hope we don't lose it as we get things. I'd like to see at 5000 prest you get to get 1 restring. . .so we can have ever-progressing presteige levels, but only get one benefit per level or whatever. Im babbling!

OMG
Lost stole my idea. :cry: I was gonna suggest 5k prestige and 50th level for restring. Figure that gives a 50th level character 1 restring. If you did quite a bit of RP you could pick up a second one. Maybe make a cash amount too (5k? gotta keep the vibe going), to make cash worth something. 50th 5k plat 5k prest. that'd work.
Yes, I know people could then level multiple 50th level characters and get restrings.... So? :? If you wanna make 10 50th level characters to get restrings, fine by me. You spend that much time, I'm all for you looking cool.
Seriously though, restrings (other than making more work for Admin) have no downside.
I have always wanted to restring my Falcon Boots as 'Salen's trusty old slippers' (even if it was ruled I couldn't 'name' them I'd still go trusty old slippers) and I would LOVE to redo the fugly Stronmaus as Laurels of an Elven Saint (yes that is what my badge says now). Does either one make me tougher than I am now? No. Does either one change game balance at all? No. Does it change the economics of the game at all... Maybe. It would make 50th level worth something, so that isn't so bad. If someone wants to level to 50th to restring an item and trade it... fine. They got the item, they got the restring, if they are willing to part with it for some eq or cash, that's silly... but fine by me.
PLUS you could then have a contest. Given X criteria, who has the best restring in game. Once every so many months, people nominate items, Gods (or someone else who can retrieve the item ansi) posts the items in a list, you use the POLL (OMG nooooooo) and vote. Winner gets something cool, like prestige(jk). Maybe an free restring.
Oh and while we are at it, I'd give up my restrung items to be able to restring other stuff. I'd be loosing eq, but it would be worth it to me.

Actually both of you already thought the idea I posed to the other imms a month ago. Sadly it was chopped up, diced into a million pieces, and fed to ettercaps.

No, no, that's not it. You forget, until you can do a !lag preen-to-nance, you're not let off the island. Don't you remember, the exercises? "Class! All together! 5, 6, 7, 8, FLIP hair, WALK away, FLIP hair, WALK away, FLIP.... Ashiwi! Stop sneaking! Try it again!"

Bah! They already had the drow are coming, and now that they are here, we still have the occasional whispers of "menzo is coming..." :P

I remember the description contest they tried to hold during Toril. There was so much bitching that they called it off. Would be cool if they had another description contest.
They didn't call it off, i actually came in 2nd place in that contest, won myself 10 restrings. Only used 4 of them, so technically i have 6 left, although kia informs me that its not very likely that the immortals here will be honoring my expired coupons. :cry:

No.
But it will, just as soon as it can all be coded. :)

I remember two of these contests -- the first one which Menoch won/Thanuk came in 2nd (I got top 50 with my monk, woo!), and then the second one which was cancelled. I just wanted to say that they kicked AZZ and I would love it if the imms would think about putting on another one. It really added to the RP aspect of the mud, and I think it would be a fun, once-in-a-blue-moon type of thingie (like random invasions of WD) to have, just to spice things up a little. :)
