Some of the most wonderful ideas in this game come from accidents, whether they be bugs or no. Toady's dev page post of a couple days ago sounds to me like one such idea -- artifacts becoming lost! It brings to mind the story of the One Ring from the Lord of the Rings. Of course it shouldn't be routine, but how great would it be if, sometimes, an artifact became hidden and had to be searched for extensively throughout an entire site? Maybe it wouldn't even have to be hard-coded. Maybe the fix for the bug could just be relaxed slightly.

That's kind of exactly what he said would happen a short while back. Intentionally, not due to the disappearing bug. Mostly when people get killed in the wild. There's even a very small chance that an npc artifact hunter will stumble across it in the wild and bring it home.

Or do you mean, artifacts that intentionally hide themselves, like the one ring? Slowly working their way back to their demon masters. Yeah, that would be interesting. One for the magic releases.

Yeah, being lost in the wild is cool too, but I was thinking specifically about getting lost in a site by accident. I wasn't thinking about objects having their own intentions, though that would indeed open up quite a can of worms!
