Just on Harry, Alex's human thrall. I wanted to unlock it so Alex could give it to a new childer but it won't let me unlock it. :|

Wait, that's what he looks like?
I always thought he was more of a Humphrey Bogart type.


I noticed this too on Bjorn though, and more recently on an alt I deleted and wanted to transfer the debit card off of.

LOL No, that's not really him but it's *kinda* close. Way too buff tho! :))

His face claim is George Burns :D

To tackle to this thread out curiosity, are debit cards transferable or are they locked into the bank account of the purchaser?

Harry never bought anything, let alone a debit card. That it's self might be a bug, if you have a thrall buying karma. (debit cards being karma only items)

Alex has passed them to childer in the past before, as well. In fact Harry got his due to a player returning items before deleting a character.

This seems to be related to whether or not a debit card is equipped - which is invisible in the inventory. I went ahead and 'fixed' this for Harry and everyone else for now. It doesn't seem to impact whether or not they can use the card, but I'm trying to track down exactly why the game is marking them as equipped in the first place...will need to return to it later - unless David knows off hand.

Alright, so it seems like when someone sets themselves to use the debit card rather than cash, it locks the debit card/makes it unable to be unlocked.

I could probably change this, but I'm not sure if that's the intention or not, so David will have to verify one way or the other.

Hmmmmm... I don't recall EVER using it while Harry has had it tho? I mean it's been awhile so I am sure I just might not remember but the way he got that debit card was from a player passing it to him before they deleted their vampire... whom Alex had given the debit card to when they first sired under her. They passed all their items onto the thrall rather than have them just get deleted too. Which means it wasn't locked then, or it couldn't have been passed.

But I don't remember ever buying anything with Harry, be it by card OR cash. :|

eta

plus Harry is set to use Cash. And I'm positive he always has been.
