A couple of news items to get out of the way. ^^
First the good news... WALL SINA HAS BEEN FINISHED!!! Many thanks to all the players who have helped in the very fast construction of the wall (or the lighting up of the Spawnington metropolitan area), sometimes even risking life and limb to protect us all! This wall stands as a testament to your dedication and willingness to adhere to general design guidelines... hopefully it was as fun as it was invigorating. ^^
Behold a birds eye view of this beauty:
Next, the bad news...
Protecting the citizens of Spawnington is now a moot point, since an overwhelming majority of forumites have voted heinously in favor of the "Keep Inventory" rule. I can't stress enough how horrible this is for the thrill and feeling of accomplishment that is Survival play -- this will definitely reduce the fear of dying, and thus reward players who are silly and jaded enough to use death as a mode of transportation. Try that IRL, and you may find out it's not exactly a good habit. ;)
But a vote is a vote, and so we will be instituting this hideous game rule over the weekend. On the bright side, this probably will reduce overall stress on the staff as they no longer have to listen to crying and whining about lost god weapons (unless the person accidentally presses "Q" over a lava pit). The game rule also cannot stop buffs from getting lost, so there's at least something to remind players that they're human (even if it's superhuman strength, ironically). ;P
So yes, I guess it's not all that bad...
And lastly, yes Happy Valentine's Day to those for whom this day is simply not just another work day! I wish you well in your lovely endeavors, and hope you're not snowbound either [like I am]. :)
