    Say you win 5000 Netherstars when you're in the spawnarea..... you lose a lot of netherstars to random users around you xD half of your netherstars will be placed on the floor xD

    Lol didn't think of that...hmm, maybe they would just be placed in item pickup area (only big wins, small ones that would fit in your inventory would just be delivered automatically?)

    Yeah...what if the player doesn't claim them (don't know how, computer crashes, aren't online and don't realise)?

    After a while you'd get a lot of netherstars locked up "somewhere" waiting for someone to claim them, just adding more "stuff" (LWC storage takes up space/lag?) which causes lag. I think the stars should disappear after a day/week or so, but no longer then that.

    They wouldn't be "stored" anywhere other than a number of stars are are likely to be spawned in when the person wins and claims it as the buying of tickets with nstars or similar would take the object out.

    The netherstars are be "stored" in a textfile,on a single line per lottery.

    <username>:<amount>:<itemid>

    So for 1 goldingot it would be:
    kukelekuuk00:1:266

    This wouldn't take up much space aside from the 10-40 bytes of text. :b

    So.. yeh, it won't cause even the least bit of lag.

    Okay, so i just showed you all my lack of computer programming knowledge :D

    But you'd imagine after say...200 or so of these lines of text you would get a little lag increase?

    Even after 200 lines, that wouldn't even be a kb of data, so not at all really.

    Hmm...

    We seem to be dragging this topic on and on, can we at least get someone to tell us if this is even possible?
