Basically the title says it all. If this could be preset by the person managing the armoury and/or set by the borrower himself, this might save some people tons of money and also a ton of time for the manager who otherwise needs to manually check when a person was last online if he wants to clean up the armoury.

edit: the reason why I think this is so important is because I fear that we might be losing tons of new players by this because they join PU and come back after a week to have lost all their gold. I honestly really don't have time to take care of this manually.

I can only approved, no rules.

Another armory suggestion:

Also add a commentary field for each armory item which can be filled in by the lender or the armory managers. This will allow experienced players to provide hints about the item the new plays borrow. For example, it might not be obvious to everyone how to use Espada Eslavona correctly. Or when to pick Tatars over Bodkins, for instance. In this field, you can also write details about the borrowing, such as: "Please give it back after 3 days so someone else can try it", or "Don't borrow if you already have 3 items or more", or "This costs XXX gold to borrow per day because (...)".

It is obvious that only a fraction of the players will use it, but introducing this should not bother the people who are not gonna use it themselves. It's like a new helmet, or so: If you like it, you use it, if you don't care, it does not hurt you.

I really like this idea.

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

The biggest problem with the armoury which is also the reason I never lend out items, is that the items I lend out, comes back totally broken.

Anything that reduces micromanagement on the website is good, especially if it's not strategus related.

Maybe some sort of "security deposit" option would be good for people who return stuff broken too.

Or just add another column that states when the borrower was last online (since i know this already exists) then its easier to effectively manage the armoury by hand.
Smooth is the admin NA deserves. Not being that much better, EU deserves Thomek.
