The Pirate ID - New Changes

[Jinx]

Although it might be a nicer way to deal with whatever problem arose - very soon you can really rename the server to "DiscoveryGC RP 24/7 admission to practice law required" because due to such IDs the game really is not very newbie friendly. Even i would have to double check my ID regularly to ensure not to violate any special case rule of the ID. Add that to the rather asymetric design of IDs (meaning: you can be attacked by people that cannot be attacked by you) and you get an environment that really is overcomplicated for a lot of people that do not really mean much harm.

[referring to the proposed ID text substitute and Garrets positive comment about it]

It might be easier for the veterans who just have to remember bit by bit what changed - but a real newbie is likely to fall into the "violated ID rules" trap - and the Administration is not really known (too well) for giving a friendly warning for first time offenders. (at least not publicly - no clue if you guys do it in PMs to newbies)


edit:

currently - in order not to get sanctioned it is not sufficient to know the official rules. Those are often too vague and open for interpretation. to be safe - you also have to remember at least some key sanctions that give you an idea of what each rule extends to.

And while "common sense" gets you pretty far - we cannot assume that common sense is the same for everyone alike. Furthermore you have to kind of remember a ton of unwritten rules to avoid clashing with the veteran community and be publicly stoned.

All the while the people demand the server to revitalize and attract new people.
