1. - Actually, no. It would be quite easy to do this. Add a couple walkspeed modifiers, add 20 lines of code to the backpack script, copy armor code w/ different positioning+benefits to backpacks. Not exactly a cakewalk to add, but it would easily be an addon instead of a replacement.

2. - This is a valid point, but it's a bit drastic. Yes, there may be a bit more litter, but not so much every island will be an eyesores and there will be any amount of lag.

3. - You're assuming that we would A.) Have a hard limit on items and B.) You wouldn't be able to carry that much items. The weight system will be less of a "ALRIGHT! WE'RE CHANGING S303'S MAIN FEATURE!" and more of a "Hey guys, we tweaked the inventory to make it better." The point is to add a very soft cap to encourage external storage, to fight the "STORE EVERYTHING IN INVENTORY 5EVAR" philosophy that's so dominant in S303 now.

4. - See 2 and 3. This would be a very soft cap. The only people it would be punishing is the power players who store a gazillion items in their backpack. Therefore, this has no connection with fog, and since this is just a consideration, I would consult the other players before adding it.

I do agree with removing store/all. That seems to be the primary problem with the store command, and could be the only nerf I would need to make. Maybe a system so if you die within 5 or whatever seconds of storing a tool, that tools gets dropped/deleted?

The tool dropping is a tricky beast. While mithril users dying isn't exactly a common happening, it does happen and feels like it would allow players to easily jump an extreme gap of S303 gameplay. Maybe a 10% chance of dropping armor/a tool?

And to your conclusion, please see 4. This would be implemented in such a way to make it a soft cap to encourage external storage and discourage extreme power usage of the backpack's unlimited space. Maybe in the future (if we add it, which is unlikely) we could always tweak it to allow for less storage to ease it on players.
