> Our most exciting change today is an option that allows players to avoid
> accidentally dropping items on the ground. The new client allows players
to
> set "Item Dropping" preferences on the "General" options tab. The three
> options that can be set are:
>
> - FAST DROP: Items are dropped without confirmation.
> - CONFIRM: A confirmation box will be displayed whenever you try to drop
an
> item.
> - NEVER: You are not allowed to drop items on the ground.
>
> Alternatively, you can also set these options using the /fastdrop command.
> The arguments are:
>
> - ON: Same as option "Fast Drop" on the General Tab.
> - OFF: Same as option "Confirm" on the General Tab.
> - NEVER: Same as above.
>
> Please note that whatever your setting, coin will always be dropped
without
> confirmation. Additionally, the FastDrop option only applies to items
being
> dropped upon the ground. Handing items to NPCs will still work regardless
> of your FastDrop setting.
>
> It is highly recommended that you use option "CONFIRM", as GMs will not
> reimburse any items that are accidentally dropped.
