After reading this, especially the part quoted below,
The tech topic is for some reason separated from the server rules. And it's called "Official Guidelines of Technology Use" (my dictionary tells me that guideline =/= rule; misleading?).
Ok, this topic in "Welcome" contains a link to the rules, but it is also buried beneath mining and trading. (No wonder why people powermine and buy a cap before they read the rules).
(Yes, some of the people that bother to start a topic there gets some useful link. But not all. Didn't bother to read all the topics and calculate the exact percentage. BTW. Good work, Chet.)
' Wrote:Especially when the first pages of the rules is stuff that doenst concern the average player at all, and the really important stufff is hidden somewhere in the middle...it became quite obvious, that server rules topic itself is a bit hidden. I need to press Page Down two times in 1024x768 resolution to see it. That is, if I already find the correct subforum, which in turn is described "Discussions for Discovery rules and role-playing customs." (Discussion for rules? A mit misleading.) And is seemingly less important than "Welcome" (less important = lower on the page, taking more time to find etc).
