This is a re-post of In-game date and time, which has been removed for unkown reasons.

I propose to compute in-game date and time based on real-life date and time. See this example application and the quick and dirty code example below.

General Discussion / Re: Rp Rules?

« on: December 20, 2009, 04:58:07 pm »

Yes - 23 (53.5%)
No - 8 (18.6%)
Snorks - 12 (27.9%)

Only posts from people who voted for 'no' or 'snorks' until now.
I voted for 'yes', because it is a good start in my opinion. We will have to wait and see if more needs to be done.

Asking Octarch Iragdun "About Octarch" yields this...

"The Octarch of the first level is Iragdun Salikarios, who is by all accounts a wise and efficient but somewhat reclusive leader."

Talking about himself in the third person?

General Discussion / Re: Wipe y/n?

Phew, I am relieved. It already got boring at the arena and the mines. With the opening of this thread, all of a sudden the other PLers stopped grinding and mining. Now the areas are getting more crowded again.

By the way, what if Xillix lied to us when he said that the wipe will not happen soon, or what if the server and all backups suddenly burn up, or if a comet hits the earth soon?
All the grinding and mining would have been IN VAIN

Wow! The server is up, but this discussion is still going on...
Time for my 2 trias.

Quote from: Xillix Queen of Fools on November 09, 2009, 12:17:13 pm

I think some are forgetting how much this will SERVE rp. Getting long time plers whose idea of rp is to bully everyone verbally until a fight ensues will be gone to ez...

PLs did not leave to EZ because there is noone to bully (including myself here, PLing my EZ-char was boring without someone to fight). I think all PLers leaving the RP-server will not change a thing. Most of those who disrupt RP OOCly are ignored by RPers. They are actually gone already.

Im lazy, so I voted no.

But I think the wipe should be made right now or before the rlease of version 1.0

Thanks for the wishes everyone!

I'm afraid it is godmodding if you think that wearing a hooded cloak makes you impossible to identify. If you want to discuss further you know where to find me on IRC, I'm there most days.

It is obviously not welcome to discuss the issue here. I don't see the benefit of excluding the player community by moving the discussion to IRC.
