OOC Changes

Posted by Tarn on 06/16

I am not happy with the OOC changes. My most frequent use of OOC is when I have to drop link in a hurry, like when unexpected visitors drop in. There are times when I have been rude to my visitors, and run to an inn, only to find the innkeeper dead. If I'm in a hurry, and the innkeeper I run to is dead, I can't rent and I can't go OOC. Most of chars are mages, and chalice users. If I'm in a rush, and just drop link, my HP/Mana/Mv don't regen (fair enough since I'm not really in the game), but my chalice still ticks down. How can I not be in the game, yet something in my inv still be in the game. As I said, I'm not happy with the OOC changes. If timed items didn't tick down once I dropped link, I wouldn't mind the changes at all. Or maybe innkeepers could be made unkillable - or maybe it could be possible to rent or go OOC from the innkeepers room, even if the innkeeper was dead. Tarn

From: Kunnar Saturday, June 10, 07:24PM I, personally, love the OOC change. It puts a stop to people abusing OOC whenever something doesn't go their way. For instance, I once volunteered for a South PD run without getting any info on the leader. It was foolish, yes, but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Once we killed the mob that had whatever EQ the leader wanted, he took his EQ THEN told us that he didn't know the way out. After a pitiful (2 minutes of searching the same rooms over and over again) search for the exit, he told everyone to go OOC and drop link, then did so himself. Luckily for me, most of our group had more spirit then that, I located a recall room and our frienly cause mage got everyone out of there. This was a blatant abuse of the OOC lounge and I'm glad that it will no longer be allowed. If you have guests and must leave the game, just drop link and take your chances. Remember, this is only a game. Kunnar

From: LadyAce Friday, June 16, 03:40PM Items continuing to tick down despite you being LD does indeed sound like a bug to me. I'll put it in via the bug command, in case no one else has. -LA
