Derrick was mostly right about his assersions of my questioning. But I had this idea in the back of my head when I made this thread.... How about first by linking forum karma/fame state to in-game karma/fame state and have a system in which when someone has a perfect record (no strikes against them...

Re: Why is there a lack of GMs?

What usually prevents me from paging a GM is when I submit the report and it says no GMs are online. The other times that are frustrating are when the GM page queue is 2 people, but there's no response in over a half an hour (I'd prefer GMs just stay logged out so it says no GMs are even available ...

Re: IRC scamming?

I better post to clear this up. Flipper posted that there was a house getting ready to IDOC. He requested that anyone interested should bring a small house deed.

Re: save time

We've been tossing around the idea of using a journaling system to effect db changes in the background without the need for the world to ever have a visible "save time". This is the method used by other MMORPGs. The biggest drawback we have at the moment is that the database is currently i...

Re: Second Age Test Server

We were noticing quite a few people logging into test to duel because they could do so without the risk that comes with dueling in the normal shard (nightshark must have been logging in at the wrong times o...
