You're all baned for skipping content! OMG! I'm a GM! Look at me!

Sorry... this was funny when I came up with it.


I guess people should be banned for getting ports, since they're skipping zones that make travelling a challenge!

Thanks Za. That's exactly what I thought it was. And yeah I've seen people do that in Unrest too heh. Didn't strike me as fair.

In Unrest it's zone physics. You can't escape it. If you want to camp Bar, you have to have someone in Tower or you're getting both and vice versa.

Made things really nice when I was camping in there solo for a BS Tunic.... I got several opaline earrings and some other misc crap....

Here's a question...I noticed in Blackburrow when a friend of mine wolf-formed me in there recently (was helping an ogre friend with faction, and he used his druid to wolf form me because I like animal forms) that wolf-formed characters can look through walls relatively easily.

Doesn't that mean they could technically do the same Z-Axis thing? And if mobs can do that, why is it unfair if players can?

Players can't do it like NPCs can because if you run at a wall long enough, you don't warp to the other side like the NPC does. And if players COULD warp through walls, it'd be extremely unbalanced due to even worse skipping of content.

Deth, mobs don't run through walls. They have a notion that if they don't get a certain amount of steps towards a character done in a certain amount of time, they teleport to you.

You can't walk into a map block, unless falling.

Addition:

One of township rebellions officers was banned yesterday. One of their members shouted about how a GM was spying on them, when he was hidden.

Rather then punish the person who did it, he just banned the only officer there.

On that, the game treats you like an NPC in wolf form. If you've noticed, say newbie mobs walking around, and they run into a log, or a rock.. They don't go over it like a PC would. If you notice, it looks like half of them accually goes into what is supposed to be a solid object.

You can climb trees that way to, like NPCs can. It's kinda fun, especialy when you're running around on auto, and smack into a tree. The only thing that you cannot do, is teleport like npcs. Eventually they'll port to were they are supposed to be. You, however, can be running in that wall or rock till the cows come home, or move yourself around it.

As long as you aren't an officer, it seems that you're ok.

If you are...then I recommend you hide or something =)

How.... Miss Isis Pandoria.... uughhhhhh:
(in a Z-Axis, whatever that is..)

Some games are two-dimensional, meaning you can only go in four directions: Left and right, up and down. The x-axis is left and right, the y-axis is up and down.

In three-dimensional games, the x-axis stays as left and right, however, the y-axis becomes forward and backward instead of up and down. Up and down become the z-axis.

Oh shi...
