Garbage collection
There needs to be some system for removing surplus items, rest products and garbage from the game world. Otherwise the server will eventually get overburdened with items. Randomly picking away items that the players might carry around or use is not a good idea though. The garbage collection should not happen unlogically, it should seem natural in the game. Some ideas for ways to do it are listed below. Probably it will be best to use a combination of many methods.
- Decay. Organic substances will decay and rot over time. This includes fallen trees, food, leather, bodies, wood, etc.
- Thieving animals. Many types of animals are attracted to bright things. These could run away with small items left in the woods. Some also eat left-overs, like rats.
- Scattering. A pile of powdery substance, left outdoors, will shrink over time (for example earth dug up when making holes, or sawdust)
