Didn't you just read that he said it would take about 5 minutes to see the player on the other side on an actual disconnect? Do you zone slower than that? And if so, do you play on a TI-83 calculator?

He said up to, not about. RIF.

Vile, we've plugged ourselves into the glory land quite a few times haven't we dog? When all those african americans chasing us and shit.

Didn't read the whole thread so not sure if this was mentioned, but on live people would plug while running away from someone not even near a zone line...wait a few seconds and then plug back in resulting in a kind of warp where you wouldn't know where the other person had gone.
ghosting or whatever you want to call it some people considered to be "strategy" and a legitimate tactic(bullshit)

I don't like the idea if its going to slow down pvp that significantly. If it made them pop out like 1minute later I'd say yeah lets do this...But 5 minutes? Jesus. Also, let's keep in mind this will detract from focus on the spell resist system, which needs to be fair and balanced more than any other aspect of everquest pvp.

To me, killing someone isn't the only means to 'defeat' someone. If they run or zone plug I consider it a win.

That's a good point. The only reason you need to see a corpse is to loot an item from it. Im for item loot..and don't care about zone plugging. Waste of coding time.

You support training, and exploiting, so far.

Good to know who the scumbags are ahead of time!

Actually the entire point of my supporting training is to prevent exploiting a system created to protect baddies. If it isnt hacking it isnt cheating. I'm sorry you learned to play EQ on emu and not live but some of us play a 15 year old game because we like it. Troll poster raged
