Come on Tec. Trains in Unrest, MM, Befallen are a dime a dozen. Go to Runnyeye if you don't want a train because NOBODY ever plays there.

I never even HINTED that trains don't happen. I personally believe that getting trained in places like CoM or KC or MM should be expected as part of how those zones work. But that doesn't change the fact that the rules on training are stated explicitly on the forums; they are just almost never enforced.

Someone needs to read the p99 rules.

Training rules are technically pretty strict. What atmas seems to think is ok is actually against the p99 rules. Training is broadly defined by staff as basically any action you take that results in a mob aggroing someone if it would not otherwise have aggrod them... so even dying to a mob and then while it paths back to its normal spot if that aggros someone you technically trained them. Training is against the rules even if unintentional. But staff don't seem to enforce them much at all.

Yep, you are correct about the rules here. I still stand by my opinion that people complaining about trains in Mistmoore is odd. I'm almost certain the zone was designed to lend itself to large trains. Also as I and others have mentioned the typical xping group would be situated to pretty easily avoid any announced trains. Now not announcing trains is a different matter.

Wasn't aware I was posting in a young lawyer thread, my bad.

I'm still just amazed that there is a thread complaining about trains in Mistmoore. I'm going to make a thread complaining about auction spam in EC.

The unwriten rule is to /shout "TRAIN TO ZONE" or something to that effect so as to warn others to move to safe areas.

They're just dicks if they're not even doing that.

I remember back on live I used to think trains were a design intent of the game - that every now and then a zone would just spawn a group of mobs that ran around murdering everyone and everything.

Then I hit dungeons higher than BB/CB/Unrest/MM and it was a whole new, glorious world. Until KC.

Training is rarely enforced on p99, unfortunately.

Would honestly love a good old fashion "gun down the first row of kids to shut the class up"-policy here. People have no reason to stop being bad if you don't give them one. If everyone got a week long vacation for training like goofs through a zone and rooting anything they aggro'd to camp out, I'm sure the next week they're back they'll have figured out how double invis works.

Instead it's "roflmaol n00b ofc u die cuz sit on capm where i guna train 2".
