The idea is sound. At the time people would always hoard the stupid redfern key, to open the 20k chest every time they passed the chain. But, to have all keys vanish after a reboot/crash/quit is rather lame. I could in fact stand for perhaps a 200 tick timer on them all. Or 20 tick timer after a relog on. But as it stands I fear for my life against a crash in the room that transitions to the chessboard in the chessmasters tower. Its very unlikly, but I save as soon as I hit the board every time. But, there shouldn't be any keys that don't degrade if their to a money chest or to collect a prise or what not. I don't think that many people would want to collect every key in thera but if they do let them. Vanishing keys is a bad idea.
