Can some coder please look to see if anything has been changed with decanter of endless water? Emptied it but cannot fill it at fountain or by casting water either.. it IDs as 'fountain' - not sure if it always did, but it seems decanter now useless once empty.. tried vaulting it but still no joy.

After searching my logs, I can say that the decanter used to just be "liquid container".

Sounds like it's just a portable fountain now. Since fountains make their own water, have you tried drinking from it while it's empty?

Good point.

I ID'ed it when I logged in and weight was 5 (which is what I would normally expect), but I can't look in it to see if it's full or not
(result: That is not a container.)

I am still able to 'pour decanter out'
(result: You empty a decanter of endless water.)

But after pouring it out once, if I try again..
(result: A decanter of endless water is empty.)
hmm. When I ID'ed now, the weight is 0, but am still unable to fill it.

BUT yay! I can drink out of it even though I emptied it. OK I guess that's it.. it is perma-full now (which I believe was the intention way back in the day anyway), so thanks!

oh.. and sorry about leaving little piles of puke around Lyme while checking it out..

Just theorising here, but I imagine that if you could pick up any of the town fountains they'd behave the same with with emptying. I guess it's part of what allows you to drink from them.

Also thanks to whoever changed the decanters, much nicer this way

i'm still supprised why the "keg" keyword was removed....

that innocent little keyword wasnt hurting anyone!!!!!

nah.. if you play via telnet (all cool guys do this way) it's a bit longer to type 'drink crystal-water' instead of 'drink keg'. good nerfing, thanks!
