I've never before had a problem with the bank chests, as I always have looked at the text before leaving the room. I therefore had some rather nice stuff stored in them. Imagine my surprise when I checked the chest tonight and it was completely empty. Hmm. Check characters persistant chest. Empty. Huh? Log in another character. Both chests empty. Log in another one. Both chests empty.
This is not a case of leaving a single chest open. Every one of my chests is now empty. Any ideas?

Were you using a different computer/copy of the game than your usual one? The chests are linked to the cd keys so if you used a different copy of the game to log in the chests would have been empty.

Possible. Different computer, but same DVD, same CD keys, and my characters have the same list of secret races available (which is also tied to the CD key). But it's possible. Thanks for reply.

The cd key entered as you primary is what matters, nit what disk you are using. It's different, that's why why chests are empty. Try entering the other keys, one of them will be the one under which your loot is stored.

I've just experienced a similiar problem. Same pc, same cd-keys, all items in transfer chest and persistent chest are gone. Talked to two other people on server 1 tonight that had the same problem at the same time I did, so it may be an intermittent issue of some kind (perhaps something isn't connecting atm). ID: reelroleplayer, chars: Bloodred Vain, Kail Swiftstrike
UPDATE: I tried this numerous times on different servers with different characters, and noticed that when I opened the vault door and walked into the vault that the chest was open already (and my items would not be there). This persisted even if I went to the other vault, or switched characters on the same server. However, I switched to server 3 and tried again and the chests were closed (and my items were there). Just a heads-up in case anyone else stumbles upon this problem--the vault isn't getting purged/deleted, it just won't show your items if you walk in and the chest appears as already open.

A chest that is stuck open won't load items. There's a script to unstick them in place, but it's quite finicky - I'll give it another go next update.

A belated followup. Everything working fine. Using the new playerinfo from simtools (where do you find time for all this, Funky!), I was able to verify that my laptop and gaming computer have different CD keys. I think that my gaming computer, even though it asked for all the new CD keys with the install, is using the key from the old original NWN I must have put on there ages ago. I hadn't known about that, and assumed.  |

Welcome to the forums! There's something else going on there, as items don't just disappear, unless there's a crash. Bear in mind that the xfer chest is visible to all your characters, but the personal vault is only visible to that specific character. For future reference, please post your exact playername, charactername, the server you were on, and the time that this happened, as we are only able to replace items we can verify via log entries.
