That has got to be the worst idea i have heard yet.. and i read allot of the forum... here is why this is the single worst idea in history..... /UNSTICK doesn't work all the time... example... you are running towards oja and as you are running you get stuck on some glitches in the graphics.. you wait 10 sec try to unstick...WELL guess what it sends you right to another spot you cant run...o well i guess i will /DIE to unstick my self and try to run again... ok now i awaken in the DR to find out my 300/300 SS i paid 100k for are now gone... realistic, NO.. good idea, NO.. sorry to smash your idea but it is a horrible one.. how about instead there is a toll for the DR if you want a Penalty not a loss of some random item.. how about a quest item .. i am sure that will work out great.. i can see it now.. PETITIONS EVERYWHERE .. guess what people are going to abuse the system no matter what.. if you did this it would only hurt people that RP for real.. hackers to get back to their spawn point are not cutting through the DR that takes to much time.. i see most shortcuters falling through the graphics in order to skip the DR all together.. dont believe me, look at the exit to the laanx dungeon.. the ramp next to the exit .. if you are a enki and walk through the side of it you get teleported strait back to OJA ..  true abusers dont even waste time with the DR so you would only be hurting People who either accidentaly fell , got stuck , or got smashed by some mob or PCkiller.. so i take it you have yet to pay over 100k for your swords that is the only reason you could think this is a good idea... with the current state of things coming up on 100k again wont be easy.. so to reiterate i think this would hurt good players more than bad ones

Spoken like a true /die abusor...
I have a character that has yet been to the death realm (even with the /unstick glich), have you?

Only eating can be too easily broken. A player could simply get a level in cooking eat the food he makes and before you know it characters would be running around with 999 hit points. If the Dev’s were able to make eating be the way to train in body development and hiking across the numerous maps the way to gain experience. Now that would be cool!

Perhaps eating 42 tria worth of food gets you a training point so it would still be equivalent to normal training. Maybe each map a PC treks across gets him “you have gain some experience in X”… It would be a long slow process, but would be hard for the so-called power-levelers to break.

Then again a way to keep players from sitting at a spot where the maps change and just going back and forth clicking over the experience would need to be figured out.

Sorry, I always try to spot the ways something can be broken.

I concur AC. NPC’s should either make change, keep the change on overage amounts given (you’re going to lose it anyway by buying something you don’t need or want) or even take donations or a tithing to help improve your ‘faction’ with that particular group.



 
Moderators:
Can one of you please move this thread to the “Complaint Department” (or a forum you deem more appropriate) to appease Jeraphon from making instigating replies to it? 
Thanx

I like the way it is now because when you get frustrated with the NPCs you can curse them out, try that with a tree. Kind of feel sorry for whoever is looking at the bad response log though....

If you tell the female Enkidukai (I forget her name) in the center of the Hydlaa plaza to “Bite me” she will tell you to “Get lost!”

[edit] I lmao at this by the way, made me forget al about the pain of the quest... 

I had a name shanghaied by a Dev for being out of PS name policy. I figured, being that my character was an adult now, he could hide his real identity and take up an alias. Why having names like ‘Hector the Dagger’ or ‘Blaqfur’ are restricted seems silly to me. Sure all these PC’s had or have real names, but they don’t use them now for whatever reason. (Maybe they’re in hiding for good or bad reasons, or their real name is Peewee and they just plain hate it.) It would be a bad idea to use your real name if you were into shady deals anyway. In some cases they don’t even give themselves these aliases, I believe ‘Jack the ripper’ is still unknown to this day and he was dubbed with this title he didn’t name himself. It would actually make for good role-playing to figure it out or get a player to tell you their ‘real’ name.

For role-playing reasons perhaps PC names should be hidden, just showing race or race/sex instead of a name. I’ve had numerous players call my PC by his name when I never told them what my name was. This definitely takes away from role-playing! Don’t talk to me like we been friends for ages when I just bumped into you on the road and asked for directions.

Granted overhearing others use your name or hanging out in the same place often enough, sure, you may find out a persons name without them telling you, but it shouldn’t just be a given. And just because you know who ‘Elvis Presley’ is, (his name and what he looks like), doesn’t mean you’re gonna walk up to him and say “Hiya Elvis! How you doing today?” you’re gonna say, “Hello, you’re Elvis right? My name is ‘So-and-so.” And introduce yourself properly. That is unless you are rude, crude and socially unacceptable anyway.

The game is fun, plain and simple. Some of the mechanics need tweaking, which being a beta game is being done, but all in all PS is a fun game.

I have to admit I have gotten upset about some of the quest ‘key phrases’ myself and have swore up a storm at my computer monitor. But eventually I sit back, take a deep breath, move on to something else and come back to that quest later. Quite honestly, a silly thing that bothers me that is not a game problem it is a role-play aspect of questing. One of my characters talks funny, (Collier: “Hey! Who ya say’n is talkin funny?”). When dealing with NPC’s I have to take him out of character to hit the key words. (But that’s my problem, not the games.)

Anyway, my name is Rip and I’m a PlaneShift junky... 

That doesn’t really help when the NPC is in front of my PC holding out his hand for tria. Weather it is for 3 tria or 200, if you have 25,000 and don’t have the exact amount it’s kind of a pain to bail out of the quest trade to go find change.
