The mithril hip purse got changed?!

Hello! My mithril hip purse has randomly stopped being able to be worn where I have worn it since I got it. :/ I switched it out by trying on a different waist item and then couldn't get it to go back on about the waist where it has been for quite awhile. It keeps going on about the body but I would really prefer it be fixed back the way it was, no idea what happened or why it is changed.

You stop using a mithril hip purse.
You wear a tiny golden bellychain made of interlinking hearts about your waist.

>wear purs
It is a bit big for you.
You stop using a leather instrument case.
You wear a mithril hip purse about your body.

Other snippets from me trying to get it back on properly:

The same has happened with a belt container. No longer worn about the waist but about the body....

Containers aren't supposed to be worn around the waist.

Because there has never been anything like a hip purse before eh?

I don't care about your reasoning, it's a building guideline. This stems from a change around 2007-8ish where I got a stick up my [REDACTED] since I played a paladin and couldn't find any heavy armor belts because they were hoarded by light armor classes. I posted a thread and Dulrik said, "lol bug". There was a legitimate bug there though. He fixed it, and deemed only certain slots to be container slots, waist not being one of them. I think Dalamar protested this and Dulrik was like, "lol no newb."

I fully support that change and fix, btw.

I fixed a bunch of containers at the same time I was verifying areas for malformed pets. The only place you should be able to wear a container is about body. Anywhere else is broken and should be reported as a bug.

Really always thought it was stupid to have a container on the waist anyways, since it takes an armor protection away from you. Absolutely avoided wearing this purse like the plague on Huneria, and would only use it as a container I'd keep empty vials in when I was brewing for people.

Which is exactly why its a bug. Wearing them in any armor location is like asking to be kicked repeatedly in the face and most people dont even realize it.

Waist is a horrible slot to go without protection for. I meant to bug log this purse but never got around to it. I thought it was a horrible, horrible idea to have an armor slot wasted like that.

But what about containers that can be worn around the neck?
