UO Second Age

Had something weird happen, not sure if its a bug...but here goes:

I had 124 items on me...killed some spawn...picked up a Blue Potion and put it in my bag. Now at 125 items. It was just a junk blue potion, so I then drank it planning on keeping the empty bottle.

The empty bottle dropped to the ground. I was at 124 items again. Thoughts?

-L/S

I guess it checks to see if there's room for the empty bottle before it actually uses the potion. I wouldn't know if it's supposed to work like that or not.

^ Yup, that's happened to me too, and I assumed it was because of that. Also, don't remember how it was in era, so can't say if it's right or not.

Thanks for the report. I'm not sure on the accuracy of this either.

What era was it that ALL empty bottles fell to the ground? I remember, as a newb, running around after a big guild fight picking up bottles.

They used to drop to the ground on UOSA, changed here: Subject: Patch 102 - May 21-23, 2009 : Little stuff

They definately dropped to the ground in pre-T2A. Sadly I didn't link the source for this change in the patch notes, but someone, somewhere in the forums did nail down a date for this sometime prior to this patch.

There were only two type of potions that piled up at your feet. Poison when used in conjuction with the poisoning skill and healing when consumed.
