They're welcome not to hack. However, as hacking was a major element of 1.0, this leaves me with two options - integrate it into the NPCs, or let people use trainers. Obviously letting people use trainers has a spillover problem, so I took the less accurate but more safe method of integrating it into the NPCs. It can't be perfect because it can't be ACTUALLY 1998. I can't make it any more complicated than it is neither because that'd just make the system NPC lag, which is kind of counter to the point - the system is to emulate a trainer, not Classic's loathed system.
When I played in 2000, I couldn't walk through level13 because I was cut down every three or four steps. This made things rather difficult as I also started in level13. I had to wait for it to quiet down before I could do anything, and then there was the obvious problem that there were no quests - from playing the java version I was passing aware of the gnomes, but once you got their heart nothing further happens. So it was and so it is.
Moonie - I get what you're saying, that G1998 sucks. I agree. That's the point. If you're that hard up for players that you miss the ones that want nothing more than mindless PKing with a godmode sword and infinite superbombs, however, you'll get no sympathy from me. It's only going to get worse when Hosted PWs come out and there are a million of these a day - however, hopefully this will have proven that Hosted PWs need their own tab to seperate them from Legitimate PWs, and thank you all for that insight. |
