What if I want to kill someone to protect my allies (who are not involved in the fight; i.e miners in a field), but the guy logs before I can tell him not to come back. I either wait for two hours to ensure my allies' safety from this one guy, or risk their explodanation.

It should be a "No you can't come back" by default, with the option to allow them to come back if they ask. I really can't be assed to send PMs to every dude I kill to ensure my territory is kept clear (especially when I can't sit in front of the player list for two hours making sure no one comes back).

Well, if you leave and abandon your miner friends, then what do you expect to happen? If you want to protect them, stay there with them.


But yes, over all, I like the rule changes. Makes powergaming harder for people, which improves the fun of the game.

Excuse me for not wanting to have to protect my allies from the undead while I go to class.

I love the new rule change. now I rage a lot less

[Loken]

it will probably be abused

eg

one unhappy pirate gets killed in one system by someone in a faction, that pirate will be an idiot for ages as he watches the player list and goes after that faction in his other CHARACTERS for age to come, and no one can do anything about it

How is that any different to before? I think you're misunderstanding the change, read through the explanation again.

This rule will be a great benefit to those who fight with honor!

We have a third item which will be unveiled this weekend. Those of you in the know, shhhh. It's a secret to everyone.

Im curious already.

I agree with Dirk Danger on this rule change.
Well done admins!

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

We have made changes to the "four hour rule", which in effect will be the "two hour rule" from here forward, if things work out.

Short memory.

This change is pointless if I got the purpose of the change right.

Short memory.
