howdy, zog here ...new to the game and thought I\'d say hi
I love the game so far and can\'t wait to see what is in store (and a BIG thanks to the people manning the \"help\" line ...patient enough to deal with my idle chatter and save my furry backside ...on a number of occasions ...darn that rogue ...)

Hi, welcome to Planeshift!

Glad to hear the advisors could help you.
Have fun around here and don\'t forget to roleplay.

lol ...thanks for the replies


Drey ...consider me atheist :P

Oh, side note ...not sure if it was an isolated incident or not, but was playing with the ratties in the warehouse and clicked the wrong \"X\" and wound up d/c\'ing myself ...after a few growlies and logging back on, I found myself in full health, and I KNOW I had been hurt ...dunno if this is a bug people could exploit for combat ...fight, get hurt, log, then fight more ...will have to experiment with it ...anyone else notice this? (am kicking myself for not poking through the bugfix forum ...but already wrote this, so :P )

*edit
ok, tried it again, and yes ...whenever I log on, it is with full health, no matter how badly damaged I was logging off

Yes, you always start with full health when you log in. I think most regular players are aware of that. I\'m not sure if anyone made a bug report about it though. Obvious bugs like this tend not to be reported for some reason...

I\'m not sure  if the devs are aware of it, nor if it\'s exploited much... relogging also takes time, after all... and it\'s silly.

That\'s a good point, and I think you should post it to the bug forum if nobody has done so yet.

I think that there are many players who would exploit this. Imagine that you\'re a PLer able to only just kill a high-level monster that drops real cool loot and respawns every minute. What would you rather do - kill it, wait for half an hour, kill it again, or use the time till it respawns for relogging? I think many would do the second, especially that they\'re only standing around and waiting for the monster to respawn anyway.

So - well found, zog!

It\'s actually been found and reported quite a while before ;) Truly \"new\" bugs are rather rare.
