Zodiac, jailed for the escape button.

I think this is a good Idea.

There is no reason what so ever to push esc in a dungeon on Zodiac.

It might be controversial in the begining but after time people will accept this.

No, thats fact, if you're going to logout, leave the dungeon first or use Alt+F4.

Why not press escape to log out? There's nothing wrong with it? Should I be punished for using a feature of the game, even though not abusing?

Yes there is something wrong with it, it stops all script processing and Graal itself, which is abusable and will be eventually fixed by Stefan. There are no excuses so stop trying to make one. Just because a game has a feature doesn't mean its not abusable.

There is also no way for Zodiac to tell if you're using ESC to abuse or not, so just save yourself the trouble and either leave the dungeon or use Alt+F4 to quit Graal. If you want to be persistent, go ahead and use it and receive the punishment that comes with it.

I asked Yen about doing the stuff serverside and he went on to say about how there are too many calculations to be doing it 4 times a second or so for all the players and that it would cause too many CPU problems with all the zodiac players.

Nothing is wrong with using the escape menu. If you want it disabled, talk to Stefan. I'll keep using it; It's what I always use. And I'll use it in the dungeons on Zodiac as well.

So long as it's not abused, there is nothing wrong with it!

Do you even understand how the people are abusing it? On Windows, when you push Esc, your client gets frozen and no scripts are processed. Baddies etc. keep attacking you while you dont get damaged, while your friends kill it off. Scripted Esc button instead of default Windows stuff would be way better.
