@0v7: If I'm not mistaken, basically glitching the inventory/avatar system into thinking that you have a specific item (and displaying on the avatar) without it actually being in your inventory. I could be mistaken though, honestly.

@Varien: Ohhhh, that's the word for it!! I'm pretty sure it's not possible on Voltra, for like, 2 reasons: avatar system is tied directly into the inventory system, and also, that's probably a hack/exploit and is not allowed =v=

Its where if u have an item and u put it on ur avatar and ur friend wants to borrow that same item u can send it over as a trade and she can wear it at the same time then she sends it back over.. i dont think its a hack as it was allowed on another site i played on

@0v7: I don't think ghosting is much for an exploit, as it doesn't exactly replicate the item, persay, it just leaves a "ghost" of it on the avatar, and once the avatar is cleared, you're unable to access the item if it's no longer on your account. But, considering the system that they have now (which, holy heck i love it much more than the previous), it may not even be remotely possible.

I do sort of hope that staff pop in to answer the thread soon though to provide further clarification on the matter though? (cause even I'm half curious now lmao) @Amber Lynne: I'm assuming you're potentially apart of the mod side of things, or, for sure on staff anyhow, given name colour xD Pardon the ping but you were the first staff that I seen on the online list :'D

@LilMissKushy: I'm not sure if ghosting is in the plans, but as it stands, as far as I'm aware no, you can't ghost items.
If you have an item equipped, it doesn't even show up in your trade options, for example.
I CAN inquire about whether or not that's something that is planned as a possibility later though, if you'd like!

@Varien: Two things:
One: Yes. Yes the new invo is worlds better. Totally agree.
Second: yes, I'm a mod, and part of staff, and thanks for the ping! ~<3 I don't often leave my RP hobble without pings. Lol

@Amber Lynne: I'm not very active, so the new invo was a surprise LOL
but yeah, no problem! I'm staff on another site so I can totally like, appreciate if a random user pings me to a place and is like, hey! this! xD (I'm also not super familiar with the colourcodes for staff here, so I'm glad that I made the right guess at least xD)

@Varien: Ohhh it can be lovely sometimes, yes yes.
We ain't perfect. Lol.

And yeah, green are mods, purple are writers, orange are admin, blue are art/items. I think I got them all.
It's mostly green you'd be going to though. We're basically Voltra's crowd control (Sorry, I know that's obvious, but I just wanted to say it. XD)

The new invo was just rolled out a month ago? If that?
I'm not actually entirely sure when it was, but it was within the past month, I think. ^ ^
and omfg I love the new invo~<3

@amber lynne: yes please id like if you inquired for me ^.^ on the other site if i invited my friends over to the site i would give my friends extra items that i had but i would also let them ghost the items that i only had 1 of so that they could have a decent looking avi to start off with... so thats why i was asking ^.^ thanks so much <3

@varien: i really do love ur wee avatar its so adorable ^.^

First, my response is purely to shed light on the functionality and safety measures we've put in place for our avatar and inventory management features. We do not approve of intentionally duping the system or exploiting glitches/bugs based upon our website rules. So please review our rules if you have not done so already.

If you save an avatar with an item and trade that item to another user, the currently saved image of your avatar will appear to still be wearing the item as you browse around the website (ie. Forum topics). You no longer would see the item on your avatar or in your inventory while in the dressing room once the item is added to a trade. You cannot wear items that are in an active trade.

I think I've covered what's being asked. Please let me know if you need further clarification.

I like “ghosting” items in theory, because you can lend someone an item to use but get it back immediately, making it feel safer to lend out items to friends.
But having it available at all, I think increases the odds of tricking people. Either by borrowing something and never actually returning it, or by lying about owning an item. Which I’m sure could cause trouble.

I think there are plans for a “dream avatar maker” type thing at some point in the future. Which I personally would like better than ghosting.
