I prefer the idea of an item-automata, but would like to have no
artifacts/ powerful potions available for sale.  You should have to go
out and find them.  This would of course require that you have places
available where you can be pretty sure you would get those things.

Not under the server mode.  At least for most of the
people playing at andyland on my server, they can't restart to try and find
something, they can't back up their characters, etc.
