As for 'gosh' nobody ever uses it, so I fail to see why that would be a problem. Tongue

It's for the silly religious right who think saying Goddamn it is poor taste because it uses God's name in vain and therefore they use gosh darn (and anyone that silly probably deserves punishment!).

Suggestions & Ideas / RP - PK and other thoughts about RP

« on: March 15, 2008, 10:08:07 pm »

Can still have PK flags for those who want to go around and kill randomly if they should so choose, but I reckon thats what the arena is for.

I'm with Virisin, couldn't disagree more. Pkill is about stealth, subterfuge, backstabbing and is essentially more of a politics game than a brute force game and I feel it should be kept that way.

Perhaps, if you wanted to keep the PK flags so that those players dont have to abide by the CONSENT system (which I have mixed feelings about), then Id like to say that if a player Kills another player that doesn't have the PK flag, either make their corpse not lootable, OR, make it more realistic.

IE: I'd like to see GRAVES, as an example. Player 1 kills Player 2.
Player 2 is sent to recall,
Player 1 now has to dig the grave to get anything from the corpse.

That sounds LESS realistic. If I walk in and murder you, your stuff is on your corpse, and would never be in your grave when you are buried. Furthermore when I kill you you don't immediately become a grave, you become a corpse. Furthermore if I hide your corpse, you never even get put in a grave.

I'd just like to see some more realistic things in the game.

I'm not trying to be an ass, but while claiming to want realism you seem to be suggesting rather un-realistic changes. (ie. if you die you can't report someone for killing you, if someone attacks you, you flee and get away you can.  If you do report a crime there is a chance the criminal gets away. Those are MORE realistic.)

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Things the players would like to see changed or implemented. (Recovered)

Either that or put the timers on ALL teleport items.. Currently there are a few that don't have delays.

Also, I think that if there ARE delays, that the script should cancel as soon as a fight is started, so you can't activate the script, wait a couple seconds while someone attacks you, and then get zipped off to recall..

Both of those things have been an ongoing process of being changed. The first for a while, the second specifically since Natalya posted her log of her and Nanukimo.

I think looting should exist. But I also don't think most people do loot truthfully. (Nanukimo did repeatedly, but just about no one else has recently.)

Seems people seem to repeat large chunks of script as well, mind the example below is an old script I believe, but it's certainly not the only of its kind, it's just one I noticed earlier and did rewrite and figured looking at the before and after might help others make their scripts shorter and easier to follow as well:

even a new spell system that just let's us research our own spells, name them, give them their elemental strengths, and have their strength depend on how strong the caster is, aswel as when we researched them.. Researching could cost cash, more cash = stronger spell.. (up to a limit of course).. It'd also mean we wouldn't need so many spells that just don't seem to make sense..

Yeah, it does scream Aeonian Dreams.

Suggestions & Ideas / Elementals

« on: March 03, 2008, 06:09:21 am »

I dug through the code to make it so players only got 1 elemental instead of 2 when casting the elemental spells. Seems any character with 60 charisma or higher summons 2 elementals instead of 1. Do most people feel this should be removed and they should only summon 1 no matter what, leave it how it is? Raise the amount of charisma needed to summon 2?
