A very good point I hadn't considered. Even if we implemented a storage system for gear (we may already have one) that saves across reboots/crashes, carried items would still be lost if they were being carried.

1. If we remove the check and allow anyone to hold anything, it gets bad when a low level person loots a level 51 and the victim has no recourse.

2. If we do as Soku suggests, the level 30 could still loot a level 51 player and be safe until they changed classes. This isn't any better than option 1.

3. If we allow you to store gear your level or below, I think this would work the best.

-You would be able to store your gear BEFORE changing classes. In the event of a crash it would be protected. It would also be safe from low level looters.

-If you forgot to store your gear beforehand, you would be out of luck unless you could change back to your level 51. This isn't any different than remort/reclass right now so it's probably OK.
