Admin Notice: Server testing

I say try /l as default. I think there are more pros than cons, but give it a trial and see how it goes.

couldnt see a similar thing in any posts so will do here.
have found on 2 chars so far where i have logged off in space, with no other chars in system. (this is the only time i do it ;-) ) when i log back on i am 10k above the plane from where i last was.
regards

Thats done for the people who transfer ore to theyr other chars.

Oh what a great idea. So that's the reason.

Imagine - you just pirated some daumann and go home. You call a barge in. You get a pm "Barge operational", you reply "Lolwhereareyou?" and he's like "Well, 40k above the plane, who moved it here?".

etcetc

You forgot

(loLNS2): ZOMG HACKURZ

however you also forgot that that zomg hackurz ended up in a fairly decent in-RP argument between me on my [HF] and two LNS including the "ZOMG HACKURZ" one. A nice RP conversation in system.

Yesterday in NY, while I was going to the LSF-Order event. You'll see plenty of "?". They were actually talking in rus))), but for some reason the chatlog doesn't register that...

I want /local as default.

Give it a try.

And if not by default, an option to make it default would be greatly appreciated (shortcut command, /servercommand, mindcontrol, something like that)

Mining is ruined - pure and simple. Fields are depleted all the time - and does not seem to come back. I know, we are in a test phase, but the tests are run by people biased toward mining. So ...

A major attracktion for recruitment of new players into mining groups is gone. The lolwutting is bigger than ever.

I miss the good old days - where you could get 16k for Gold Ore and 12k for Niobium Ore - and it was worth getting through a piracy in one piece. Behind every decent pirate is a decent miner, right?!

It is frustrating to see admins running online experiments in an effort to find solutions to RP issues, that cannot be solved this way. Just as it did not help with the nerfing. But dare we critizise them - oh, no, who should listen to a fellow with just 50 posts behind him - he must be an ignorant, right?

It is also frustrating to see ongoing experiments in total ignorance of the general opinion. The poll was simply a cover up - the result was already given.

Call me whinner if you like - this is what many of you simply look forward to. Yes, I am pissed.

Post count isn't that important imo.
Trying new things out is!
It might take several attempts at getting the balance right, but if it makes the game better for the years to come, then what's a few weeks of inconvenience?
Have patience - the poll's results won't be brushed aside.

It already has been.

No matter what the RP issues will still be there. As far as I am concerned, no work has started on that yet.

Zukertort.

EDIT: But I do agree, that it is important to try new things out etc. But that is not the reason for the test, nor the mining nerf.

[sadtranslation]

I may be wrong, but had the 30 seconds delay between using Jump Gates and/or Holes dissapeared?
