How about a more novel way to look at them, I too have found that they tend to be OOC in Nature but the /me /my functions still works in tells as they do in the main chat so I have reverted to something more like '/my Messenger finds you and hands you a letter Reading 'Where Might one meet up with you to discuss an important matter' on the other persons tell screen it reads Hrothbert's Messenger finds you and hands you a letter......' You get the idea turn them into an IC type of communication.

Now I know that there are people that have tried to start a type of messenger service but the problem with that is if them to be efficient they tend to revert to tells to find the people the message is intended for which would create the same problem. Unless a person had a 'mailbox' of some sort there seems that the tells/whispers will be needed in the future.

I'll concede on the gibberish part. I still think it would be funny though.

Now I had suggested the gibberish in another thread as a cumulative effect, e.g. .01 second added for every trip, that way for the earlier players they would never notice this as it would be too short of time and basically waiting to load would eat that up, but for the players that abuse the current death system they would quickly notice after their 400th time taking their shortcut they find that they can't talk to an NPC to sell their wares or finish a quest. The suggestion came from the settings for the DR which state that multiple trips and multiplied time spent there gradually wears away at a persons sanity, therefore when returning to Yliakum one would have an adjustment time to get their sanity back.

Though enforcing this might have some people very angry I thought that it might be a more unique way of dealing with resurrection. But if it were enforced I see no difference in that than the current filters which automatically convert things like 'c ya' to 'see you later'.

It was just a thought so that is my two cents you all are having a great discussion on this anyways.

'You see a male Ulbernaut in front of you named maulbernaut'   ' A worm-like creature with a maw full of sharp teeth. The skin looks resistant to damages' -----> I came across this today thought the description was funny.

@ Nivm Your system is what is refferec to as 'botting', Setting up an alt character to solely mine for your main character with a program to make them dig in time, move over dig again, move over. This creates a very lopsided community and is why it is frowned upon.

About the powerlevelesrs some of them have been around so long that there is no changing their mind, and those are 'teaching' new players to do the same. I myself was 'taught' that levelling was the way to go when I fist started nearly 3 years ago, along the way I found it was a lot of time with little reward, My character is strong now Maxed in all stats 1 armour class and that is it he went on hiatus [as did I] He has returned and his goals are to increase in the desired areas as he grows, best way to do that is get the theoretical knowledge trained and as the experiences happen i.e. fighting or mining it grows

Thanks for reading this

As to the closed system there is actually a book in the Library in-game that explains how the system is helped by the indigenous species that live here-in, Also there is one of these 'endless' holes implemented in-game and being that it is a player accessible area it is my belief that there may be a species that lives in it similar to our goats that will eat almost anything and dispose of it. Any way Just thought that I would mention some of the answers to your question are answered in the great Hydlaa Library

Well to help you out I certainly do care, I have been doin my best with my Characters to continue in the lifestyle of RP as well will be contacting the Stonehead tavern Manager as soon as I figure out which Character best fits and what they will be willing to do. Don't give up Illysia there is alot of people that RP regularly.
