a lot of money getting a new PC
Remember that FL doesn't need a state of the art PC to run.
This game can run on old PC parts very easily.
I doubt it he will have a huge hole in his pocket if he buys used second hand PC parts just to cause us problems.

let me get this straight, you would want new players to Disco wait a week to a month?
would you stay here if you:
- Cannot leave Pennsylvania (or log a ship outside of Penny/ go to conn)
- Cannot transfer
- Cannot jettison objects (nothing will be in space after death as well)
i'm afraid that new players wont stay a day, let alone a week or a month.
I understand the concept of why this is being done, but unless you can have 24/7 admin prescence, or at least 24/7 token distributers. . .
an hour may be too long.
maybe I'm being extreme(hell I play Disco prolly once in a blue moon off and on for years) but I feel i'm pretty patient, but not for that.

Obviously the biggest problem is going to be people misunderstanding what's actually happening as evident in this thread
What has getting a new PC got to do with anything? you don't need to re-install windows or FL completely to change the credentials you log onto the server with
The token is basically a key to the server, without the token or 'key' if you will.. you won't get access to the game. Nothing to do with your hardware

If we see players exploding out of thin air in about a week, then I am sure we're in a bigger mess. Let's give this method a chance and see how it goes.
Of course mate,i would hate to see server dead,i love fl as much as anyone here.
I just don't think this method will stop them. Hope I'm wrong though,i really do.

This is why i suggested a dedicated 'Token Team'.. So it won't take up anymore Admin time

That's nice. Can we still have a checkbox or command to disable all the other messages? I guess many of us know where to find the forums, about the hints related to the rules and all the other fancy coloured messages.

I'm talking about imitating another person entirely, not the token. I'm aware the token is a seperate case.
