Title: /unstick tied to DR is bad idea!!!
Post by: Andrek on December 28, 2005, 09:07:05 am

So I was unfotunate enough to hit the /unstick shortcut with my mouse and was taken to the DR.  It sucked.  So I ask that we take the /unstick command linked to DR away.

Why:

IT FRIGGIN CHEESES ME OFF!!!!!!

Thank you
 ;)

They could have tied it to DR because it is a more stable environment or it may be a philosophical reason.  Either way, I doubt that it will change.

Then erase this shortcut function of you happen to randomly click by mistake. It\'s your fault you can\'t use what was given to you.

It\'s a faster alternative to the /die function.  It\'s still a bit of an exploit though, even if it\'s not as useful as it used to be.  I can\'t think of a good argument to keep it in the game -- I\'m interested in hearing one though.  I\'m sure it\'s interesting.

Origionally, we had /spawn which took you back to the plaza and /unstick which jumpped you back to a valid location.  Spawn was being abused, greatly, so it was removed.  Double unstick was made to send you to the DR to replace spawn, in a way that wasn\'t at risk of as much cheating.  /die was added later, and really replaces spawn in a better way.  So yes, I think we could get rid of double unstick at this point.

Edited to add:
I\'ve accidentally died when trying to unstick before, so I know how annoying it can be.  After next server update, the double /unstick will be disabled in favor of /die.

I don\'t find /die as a exploit. We can suicide at any moment after all. Sure one could argue it\'s unnatural to suicide just like that. But in PS world you just have to go through DR, it doesn\'t sound that weird, coz death isn\'t the ultimate end.
And it don\'t help everybody trait it like another dimension without any consequences. When first time it was introduced to us, it looked like only spirit will be moved to DR and body will stay, and the precious items too. But you all should know that story and the details.

I\'ve fallen to the bottom of the death realm a few times and somehow survived.  /unstick-ing once only placed me at a different spot at the bottom of the death realm.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there another solution other than /unstick-ing twice?
