Works as designed...

Postby Eshacin » Thu Oct 07, 2004 5:47 pm

Anyone who knows me will know I like to explore the mud. This gets me killed quite often, but heh, that's part of the fun.

This however is not fun. I don't know the Temple of the Moon, so I went looking today. Found myself with no way out as the mobs with the exit key had been killed and don't repop. Now I wouldn't complain at being left there awhile (it was an hour or more after my first petition before I got a response, but I don't see how this sort of thing is designed to attract and keep players. If I lose my eq I shall be well inclined to leave.

petition I am in a !well, !tele set of rooms with no mobs, no keys, no objects, nothing hidden and only one locked door out. Could you get me out of here please?

Kossuth responds to your petition with 'the zone is functioning as designed, i'm afraid you'll have to wait for a boot'

petition Isn't a boot just going to leave me here? I almost certainly won't be logged on then.

Kossuth responds to your petition with 'a crash would take you out of there, a reboot would leave you in there but with the key.'

Kossuth responds to your petition with 'in any case, the zone is not malfunctioning, etc., it leaves a chance to be stuck in it per its design'

petition If I'm not logged in that won't help me unless I log on before the zone gets done, and a boot could be days away

No more godly responses :(

crypts. avernus, temple at least you have a mob that you can get killed by.
there is a place in game where you flee at wrong time and you get locked in !tele room area with no exit and no mob to die at..
its also advertised to work like that by design

I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
Darling, when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I want to be the one with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
You and I


That's such a cute visual of you two.

Happy ending :)

With a little godlike creativity a solution was devised and with a little helps from my friends I escaped. Thanks all.

I still don't think such traps are a good idea, any more than death traps would be.

If an imm will just teleport you out when you get stuck in there then why did Kossuth tell the dude he'd hafta wait for a boot and then ignore him instead of sayin he'd bug someone higher up.

Before you decide I'm deserving of any further villification:

1) Anyone being teleported out of there had it done by someone who was not following protocol.

We are all [the admins] on the same page now with this, both specifically in the case of this zone and in general, that a way out will be provided to someone on the outside and the person who is stuck will be responsible for recruiting people to help bust them out.

We will provide a chance to get out and it falls to you to get people to help you out. No free teleports, and no getting stuck til boot unless you can't recruit people. I'm clear on it now, too.

2) It was not my intent to ignore anyone.

I did not see the last petition in Eshacin's post above, and would have responded to it had I seen it.

Heh, it's kind of funny how people are inclined to think all imms have the same authority and responsibility.
