interesting idea, i've been wondering about this myself too but i dont get nx all that much so i can't really test it
i do know that after a free rb you wont get a dye if you go back to that area (which is possible with a housing flier) so i think its either server-sided or something item-related
i forgot if you get something in your invy after a payed rebirth (not the noob clothing, but maybe a book from nao?) and if so, if it's coded to make the server know you rebirthed (infinite dye mod?
)
