Organic Materials turning into Yarn

Post by Gund »

I have been keeping organic materials in my bank box and the description occasionally turns into 'Balls of Yarn'. They have always turned back, but I would really prefer for them not to change permanently.

This is just because it takes some time to load the proper info.

When you open up your bank or come to an area, first the server sends you just what's there and what it looks like. On the second pass, it then sends all the detailed info. Since there isn't much extra graphics in the game, developers just use existing items. Organics are actually balls of yarn, rehued and renamed.

You see that name because, when just the basic info on your items gets loaded, there's no name defined yet so your client simply takes the default name for that item appearance. In this case it's "balls of yarn". You can see the same thing where if you come to TC, and hover over a powerscroll or and other deed, it will just say "deed".
