Actualls it does work, because \"more than six\" is \"seven or more\", and \"more than seven or more\" is \"at least eight\". At the other end of the scale, it might be \"more than infinite\", which will become \"infinite or more\", which will simply be \"infinite\", so it is OK. :P

Ya i totally agree Seytra. If you are inactive for too long your account should be deleted. Althought i think it should be 4 months not 6. If they only go on twice a year they dont deserve to have an account
Umm Myrtl, being offline for four months does not mean that they only log in twice a year... It is much more likely that someone was just absent for 4 months, as Seytra said, away for a semester... or perhaps on holidays?
Six months, is IMO too short. I would constantly need to recreate characters that I lost due to inactivity. As I often have something unexpected come up, that keeps me busy for a few months or so, sometimes more than six.

I meant exactly that when I said the \"twice a year\" thing. You\'d have to do something (and therefore to decide whether you still have interest), but you will not have to do so much that it becomes impossible for you. If they only log on twice a year despite having plenty of opportunity, they\'ll most likely drop it after two years anyway so it\'d be fine.

Yeah, giving it to a charity would teach evil people to set up a last will! :D And yes, \"given to the government\" would equal \"vanished\", just as IRL.

It is a very unrealistic estimation, and the devs must have known it was impossible. The fact there was no test planned seems to show this is true.

I don\'t know, but I read somewhere that someone wanted to have several more things implemented before the release, which therefore had to be postponed. Given the extreme expectations everyone is having, this might have been a really wise thing to do. Imagine CB to be almost like MB, just with rewritten code and remade models... most players wouldn\'t even be able to tell the difference to appreciate it.

Yes. This way, one can never be disappointed. :)

I really like the \"heritage idea\" and the elaboration on it but think that this is sort of \"thread hijacking\" ;) (should probably belong into wish list).

I agree, two years are than sufficient more.  IMO more time than that would show very little interest by the game.  So, why to maintain char/chars or the account?

actually, more than more than six can be 6.3 or something like that, it doesn\'t have to be at least 8, in fact it can be 6.00000000000000001...

My point was merely that the second \"more than\" was reduntant.
More than six enables infinite possibility, as it is undefined, more than more than six makes no sense.

This is a great tangent from the original conversation.

\"Public Phase\" been talking to moorelocke about it. Us long time MB players deserve a chance with CB after all we have done. Atleast let some more people join the phase. Because I want a chance before you guys find more bugs and delay it longer and longer. Think about it.
Signature deleted for being too small. It was soo small, it represented the smallest sig in the world.

Testing is a priviledge, not a right. Besides, if you have been able to survive with MB for so long, a little longer won\'t kill you. Just be patient.

Oh and by the way... \"Us long time MB players deserve a chance with CB after all we have done.\" .. What exactly have you done, except whining about not getting into the CB test? :)

Ok, it\'s time of YAFAQ (Yet Another FAQ)

1.- Does someone know the CB release date?

No, only the devs and they are very busy now.

Quote

This should infact be \"No, not even the devs know. And don\'t ask them as they are very busy now.\" - Moogie dixit


Thanks Moggie

2.- Could I be a tester now?

No, the recruitment period is closed. Furthermore, testing is a privilege, not a right (Gronomist dixit).

3.- Can I use my MB char name in CB?

Yes, it\'ll have a grace period to migrate MB names to CB.

4.- How much will it be that grace period?

No more than 2 weeks.

5.- Will my present char name be valid for log on CB server?

No, you must create an account on the new server. Your present char and others created by you will pertain to new account.

>acraig< Account creation will be through a website and will require a valid email address.  For your name just the first name will be the reserved one.  So when you create your character you will have to make sure its the same.  


6.- Which will it be my account username?

It will be your email address.



(to be continued ...)

Yes, I didn\'t actually intend it to evolve into a discussion as it has. In fact, I had expected this to have been proposed already and just wanted to hint at this option, but the searches I recently conducted showed that it actually hasn\'t been proposed yet. Therefore I will take this to a separate thread in the Wishlist soon, as this indeed has become somewhat off-topic. ;)

I have no problem waiting for CB because i can normally fit in 2 hours at a time in MB. Even though it only works after a 15 min wait for loading. from what i hear most people don\'t get a chance to play at all.

And to all those developers and programers out there, the best of luck and keep up the good work.

More ram should fix that loading problem...


And Seytra, I believe the heiritage thing was discussed in a thread somewhere, but I\'m not sure anyone ever bothered picking out the idea itself and actually define it as something worth adding to the game. Could be something worth doing, if it\'s done right.

[Edit: My other post didn\'t sound right...]
