As Berendol aluded to above, there seems to be a tad bit of kookiness going on in the special generation front, that he details in the bug forum here.

Have you ever considered adding the following?
1) 90 day timer on inactive characters
2) artifacts can't be dropped in houses
This would solve the problem, no?

I like the timer idea, but 90 days is a little less than I think would be healthy. Maybe if an artifact's "number" is decreased after it's been found for 30 days? That way, someone who's hogging an artifact won't stop the rest of the players from being able to get it. It does lead to multiple instances of artifacts, but at least it allows folks a chance. This way requires some auditing code additions and a regular audit.

Regarding number 2, from a code standpoint, it would be a very simple check against o_ptr->name1, Depth <= 0 and the ICKY floor flag. Very interesting!

I just logged into mangband.org and saw quite a few people with good character levels so I decided to drop sting at 50 ft (not static, checked that first! hehe) so it should be available now. Good luck everyone.

and now pretty much taken care of with the Great CleanUp of '07.
