Please don't sit on the server idle

Ziroc · 03-29-2005, 08:36 PM

I have seen some players sit on the server for hours, not moving at all. I guess just so it won't load and they don't have to start over.

This is not allowed. Please log out when you are done, as the server does need resets. If I see players doing this, I will boot them [img]smile.gif[/img] . And give them a warning.

Well said and thank you Z..

If you catch em, can I have all their stuff??

There's scripts against that too; you store the player's location, check if it's the same after x minutes, and if yes give them a warning to move or be booted in 5 minutes or so.

Ohhh! Nice Legolas! Nice! Muhahah... IGN here I come! [img]smile.gif[/img]

That sounds super cool if you can get that script running, Ziroc! How many minutes do you think you will give people? I would suggest no more than 30 minutes, to give people who need to go make a dump in the twoilet or stop sibling children from killing one another time to take care of that.

Ziroc · 03-31-2005, 09:38 AM

Hahah, yeah, 30 is cool [img]smile.gif[/img] lol..

I know to take into account dinner time, dealing with kids, piss breaks, #2 in the loo, or that important Mt.Dew run!

So it'll be fair.. And CHOC is the only one that can *actually* sit ON the server.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

well, Choc IS small enough to sit comfortably on the server. *laughs* how IS the Cat of the Robes and Catnip doing, anyway? and when will Choc have quests?!? *ponders a talking cat giving out quests in AD&D and thinks that it cannot be all that disturbing.*
