Nooby Question:

If it is indeed the /afk command, what will that do other than showing that you're 'away from keyboard'?

**sss**

The update sounds great, I'm looking forward to the description command , and hoping that the Simulacra change that Rarebit looked into was finished and put in - instead of just Aikido sims, you'd randomly get Aikido, Karate, Kung Fu, Gunman, Rifleman or SMG Specialist sims.

Not a whole lot else.

Did anyone else see the image retreival for PvP safe zones? I'm pretty sure that was something they were working on in beta. Or did I imagine that?

I would hope that if they do get the /afk command to work, it might not be that hard to create a /rp flag. I would love an RP flag.

Well it's most likely that your ISP has some US based IP addresses reserved and you've randomly wound up with one of those. For example people with AOL (regardless of their country) could wind up with a US based IP address being asigned to them....

yeah i'd be all up for that command, it'd definately solve any sort of problems on vector, where if you insult someone in RP, they'll probably take it personally due to the nature of the server heh.

The portable "Pacification Zone" is entirely new. It's possible back in the olden days you heard or saw something to do with PVP or non-PVP areas covering specific parts of a city, generally on a neighborhood basis. I don't remember much about their distribution (and I don't remember if this was only pre-beta or not), but I remember for instance that at one point in the misty deeps of time, Uriah was a hostile neighborhood. We had one artist who got the hang of it on our internal server before most other people on the team, and he spent several play sessions gleefully luring his co-workers across the street from Mara C into Uriah under various pretexts, ganking them, and then laughing about it in the office for days.
