Recycle Soulstones?

(this is NOT a new idea)

Over the years, I have pickup up soulstones at IDOCS and off vendors in hopes of returning them to their owners if I were ever to find the person - with rare success - .....

Can we get a way to flip these back into a usable item?

Make the fragments a turn-in for Clean Up maybe?

And, maybe, drop a full Soulstone on to a converter to make it usable (and scrubbed of any skill on the stone) for the new owner....

(If a player buys a token and loses it via IDOC, the person that gets that token has the ability to use said token... the money is already in EA/BS coffers, so I'm looking at the soulstones in this light.....)

Thoughts?

I think the current system is working well; if you want, you can turn in activated full soul stones for fairly massive points (15,000 per stone if memory serves). Folks can craft single use stones, there are still some soul stone fragments floating around that have five odd uses, and then they have the full soul stones for sale at the UO store. Seems fairly decent all around.
Cheers!

Wasn't ment that way, just that as you say its not a new idea....its been pitched many times and many times the Devs and mesanna has said NOTHING else will be happening to soulstones, what we have now is it.
So to keep dragging these "useless" posts back up just warrants replies like I gave.

Some of us don't live on Stratics 24/7 or hang on everything that's been said in the past.

I STARTED the thread with saying I knew it wasn't a new idea. Does that mean it's put to bed? It really seems that at this point in the game, a lot of change is happening.

What's it hurt to ask?

I think by making them refurbishable they would be cutting into their profits from the sales of new ones. Personally I think it's a great idea just not going to see it happen because of that.

Both frags and full SS are worth turn-in pts already.

Some shards like ours on Sonoma have great, caring folks (Thank you very much Miri) that have a house(s) devoted to setting up the soulstones so that people that lost them could perhaps recover them. I've personally seen and heard several folks that got their soulstones back after their house dropped and I can tell you, that's a lovely reunion. I think most of our IDOCers on our shard take theirs to that "soulstone graveyard".

Welcome home old Friend.

*waves Slickjack over to the table and pours him a glass of Good Old Moonglow Red*

I'll have a listen to some more of your ideas. I seem to remember them to be rather articulate.

Would be nice if I could recycle my old frags into ingredients for one-shot soulstones

Thank you good sir...

I definitely don't want to stir up anything, rather to always seek ways to improve our experience.

Although I didn't play for a while, I never dropped any of my accounts!

What ever happened to the SS graveyard where SS tokens could be turned in so the owners could get them back when they returned

Some whiner cried probably about how "unfair" that was and probably since they couldn't get ALL the EMs to do it.... then it was axed likely by the evil one... and so died... sad it was a pretty awesome thing... though I'll say some shards take and fill this slot themselves by making their own SS graveyard ... so if you are on one of those you are lucky...

However since they saw fit to make them worth turn in points... several of them... most will throw them away for points rather than turn them over to another player for safekeeping... sad to say Greed is the new rule of thumb.
