Are introductions dead?
« on: May 10, 2008, 06:41:38 pm »
It seems to me that these have been disabled, I see everyone's labels for the past few days. Has the system been recalled for corrections, abandoned for the time being, foregone completely or does this just affect me?

found this on http://planeshift.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/planeshift/trunk/docs/history.txt


*** 2008-05-07 by Kenny Graunke
- Disable introduction system until a well thought out and approved system is
  made. Right now it is trivially worked around, and simply alienating players.
  This change done with the approval of Xillix.

Enjoy the breather, there is no guarantee the next implementation will be more to your liking. Naturally the development team will have taken stock of the previous system's successes and failures and apply them to the next generation. Looking forward to it.


N.B. I am in no way responsible for the previous annoying responses to my initial posting.  :oops:

It appears so.
During one of my random 5 minute game appearances, I tried introducing myself to a smokin' hot Fenki, but it appears it did not work.

Was she standing in a forge?

I doubt very much it has receive the perma-death, it is just wandering in the Death Realm trying to find a portal.

I'll miss it too. Despite all the complaints I never really thought it was much of a problem, just a different thing. And yes, I did experience it with my player account and no, I had no problem at all not knowing who all those strangers were. Hopefully it will be worked on and reintroduced soon.

Now, it'll be interesting to see if roleplay increases as a result of this, since it was thought that this mech was killing it. Was it true? :detective:

Well, every time I've logged in, Hydlaa was in a state of uber quietness... That changed when I logged in a couple days ago, and it surprised me to see a ton of players in the tavern. I suppose the loss of the introduction system is why. I could see strangers being more friendly than before, and there weren't as much OOC chat about "[/introduce to me!]" and complaints of someones spamming people's screens.
