Possible changes to Mischief lock in a few hours!

Get your radical extreme suggestions for rule changes in now, because in 12 hours it will be too late! The last test patch is about to go in!

Mischief actually starts in UF and surprise! It's Coirnav!

Uhh, it was too late for any Mischief suggestions the day the server was announced. I don't know what all these folks think they have been contributing. Short of a massive uproar about how horrible their idea is they aren't inclined to make any changes to servers after they are announced, and certainly not because someone had a neat idea.

Manger rules were changed post announcement but pre launch. I don’t think we will see any rule changes here but I suppose it is possible.

Im happy with rules, just want they release it now! The wait is a pain.

Only change I want is 2 servers guaranteed launching at once.

If they had any technical ability to do this last minute, I think it would be really beneficial to lock character slots to one for the first week, two for the second week, and so on. No random anything, just minimize character creation and resulting login lag for the first couple weeks.

They could just lock it to 1 and require you to pay for the extra slots. Easy peasy.

Locking the slots outright, and then manually opening them up over time is probably hard enough. Implementing a system to sell the unlocks would be harder for sure. Last minute stuff is usually only doable if it's change a value here or one line of code there. Not implement a new system to do this or that.

give it selo xp, supa slow xp is going to turn away a bunch

that never should have been changed, but fixing what isn't broken takes priority it seems. if they'd thought of focus effects in 1999 then there would have been focus effects in classic, the fact that they didnt think of them for a few more years shouldn't prevent their retroactive use on tlp. P99 is that way

Don't they already have a system where you have limited character slots and have to pay to unlock them for silver members? They could cannibalize the code, change it from 4 or however many to 1, and done.

True, I forgot about that. I'm not a fan of charging for them, even if it's just temporary access. The point is to limit the server slowdowns from character creation, and entering the world for the first time. Letting people buy their way around it won't really solve the problem.

You obviously missed where I said "Short of a massive uproar about how bad their idea is" which was the situation that happened with Mangler...
